I was just browsing the referral keywords of my blog last night, picking out the ones that highly amused me… yet it didn’t occur to me (embarrassingly!) to use these as material for new posts.
Thanks for the straightforward, sensible ideas!
Hey Michael,
Great video. I would also add another obvious way to get ideas for articles is what do people search when they are on your blog.
Also I try to improve articles that are getting me traffic because they are founded on Google from certain keywords but they have a big bounce rate.
Michael,
I have a few searches set up on Twitter. When I find I stream of similar questions related to my expertise, I’ll write a post answering that question.
Now let me watch the video…

Thanks for this Michael, i know some place where i could get a thought to get my next blog post. And i also would like to thanks to god for helping me finding nice article where i could get inspired (including your site) and be the next problogger.
There’s an odd inversion of the “search terms” idea source, too, and one that I’m experiencing – the overwhelming majority of searches that I’m getting are for a blog post that I didn’t intend to be particularly popular. So I know it’s time to beef up the content I actually do want to focus on, so people aren’t just getting that one offhand post.
Writing 3 things lets me learn them in 5 seconds. A 6 minute video with no summary text, bookmarked for later.
Well worth the six minutes. Great ideas for someone like me with low traffic but high hopes.
Thanks Michael! You’ve given me some great ideas AND made me want a web cam! Great vlog post! Thanks for sharing!

Hey Michael, thanks for your time for making this video. It has gave me a lot to think about branding and having a web site.
I have found Google and Yahoo as good places to spark some ideas for blogging.
Great tips – I hadn’t even thought of doing any of these things to help with coming up with ideas for new posts. I’ll definitely be using these methods on my blog in the future – thanks!
