How to Use Overture's Keyword Selector Tool and Generate Article Ideas

Stumped for article ideas? Has your creativity stalled? Do you need some web content ideas that will boost web site visitors to your articles?

One of the most useful free web tools for helping you generate popular web content ideas is
Overture's KeywordSelector Tool.

Overture's Keyword Selector Tool has quickly become my favorite free web tool for discovering popular keywords and keyword phrases.

Not only has Overture's Keyword Selector Tool helped me hone in on the more popular keyword searches and keyword phrase searches, it has become an endless well of future web content ideas.

How You Can Use Overture's Keyword Selector Tool and Generate Article Ideas

Go to the Overture's Keyword Selector Tool. The link is clickable, but here is the URL anyway: http://inventory.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion

Next, type in a word or phrase that describes the topic of your article. You should at least have an idea about what you intend to write. Or just pick a word that interests you: baby, sports, crafts, Apple, energy.

Because I like to write parenting and baby-related articles, I will use "baby" to show how many real article ideas can be generated from one simple word, when using Overture's Keyword Selector Tool.

The list comes up with the number of times the word was searched. It also includes all related keyword phrases and the number of times they were searched.

As you can see from this top 10 list (see image one), baby name is the most popular baby-related search.

Here is the list of the words related to the search on "baby":

baby name
baby r us
baby gift
baby shower
baby sitter
baby furniture
baby invitation shower
baby phat
baby shower game

Now, you could write an article about baby names, but that is probably too general. By clicking on the phrase "baby name" you will see a list of popular keyword phrases related to searches on baby names.

This is where you can mine the golden nuggets for your article ideas.

The 10 most popular keyword phrase searches related to "baby name" are:

OK. Looks like I have a ton of various Sweden articles to get on. I had no idea...

I have ideas... just lack of motivation. Well, been busy on print articles this past month though. This sounds like a very handy tool, though. Thanks.
