A simple technique I thought Id share

If you're trying to think up article content within a particular niche or perhaps wondering what people's problems or questions are within a niche then try this.

Its a very simple, yet effective way of getting a small insight to what people are asking.

Go to Google.com and type in...

site:answers.yahoo.com <your keyword here>

This then produces question after question within your selected niche that you can use to generate either content, or ideas from.

Hope this helps.

Dont forget to hit the thanks button - it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy

    Yeap good advice, I use this regularly to get article titles and to figure out the target audience within a niche.

    There are so many ways you can take advantage of Google search with their operators, it's so useful.

    You can also use niche forums to find out what people are talking about and what kinds of questions they have:

    A great way to find forums related to your niche is by searching Google with the following search string:

    "Powered by vBulletin" + [keywords]
    "Powered by phpBB" + [keywords]
    "Invision Power Board" + [keywords]
    "Powered by WowBB" + [keywords]
    "Powered by SMF" + [keywords]

    Great tip, Johnny. I always forget to experiment with google's advanced search terms, there's a wealth of information you can mine using that by thinking a little out of the box, like you just did!
