One of the more effective methods that I use to find new keyword ideas for niches is… watching TV. Watching commercials is especially awesome. I’m going to do a simple keyword brainstorm exercise during the next 30 minutes. All I’m going to do is watch Sportscenter for 30 minutes, typing up the ideas that come to me while watching the show and the commercials:
- injury/injuries (recovery, treatments, etc.)
- NFL jerseys, NFL posters
- online education, online schools, online degrees
- outdoor microphones
- football helmets, football helmets for kids, radio football helmets
- energy drinks
- improve credit score, check credit score, how to check credit score
- motorcycle insurance, bike insurance
- roadside assistance
- cheap car insurance
- down comforters
- golf lessons, online golf school
- beach vacations
- striped ties
- wireless microphones
- wireless headsets, radio headsets
- commercial ovens
- best deodorants, deodorants, men’s deodorants
- hunger control, appetite control, appetite suppressants
- best chocolate, best tasting chocolate
- cactus plants
- running tips
- online meetings, online presentations, online business tips
- online dating, online relationships, relationship compatability
- longest lasting batteries, lithium batteries, high tech batteries
- best car rental
- pink digital cameras
- disneyworld vacations, disneyworld tickets
Three commercial breaks and plenty of keyword ideas. Now it’s on me to go through these, expand upon these ideas, and analyze the CPCs, search volume, and competition.
Ha, cool post Court! I’m loving the fact that you are posting so much. Who are your picks for the games?
I’m thinkin: Jets, Cowboys, Pats, Packers
I’ll have to do a lil brainstormin while watching
Jets, Eagles, Pats, Packers
Picking football teams is like picking keywords most of them don’t turn out.
I thought for sure the Eagles were going to beat Dallas. Good to see the Pats lose for a change. Packers should win.
I was really upset that the Pack lost, but at least it was a good game… (minus the defense)
There was defense?
nice…
Sounds like a great idea!
I have been doing this for sometime now, however I also listen to radio commercials while driving, walking through the mall looking at signs, etc. I have begun carrying a little notebook with me to jot things down as I see them, hear them or read them during the day.
Found some good ones this way!
Quite interesting. I’ve never actually utilized television commercials in my keyword brainstorming. And now it seems quite obvious, if it is being advertised on TV, there’s gotta be at least some of it on the internet.
Just been a member for a couple of days, just wanted to thank you for what your doing man…I have learend so much in just a couple of days. A big Texas thank you. .
Great post Court and something that everyone can do easily, just never thought of it so thanks for sharing.

I do this, and I also ask friends and family sometimes what they look up on the internet often. Going right to the source.
How do you use the keywords ???
How do you proceed….do you write articles on those keywords
Nice Trick. I will try to get keywords from TV just like you. Thanks.
I do basically the same thing, but do it while walking through Costco or Walmart.
newbie here. What’s the most common path you take after deciding you found a decent set of keywords? What’s the ‘profit’ step?
The next step is getting them into your site!!
great idea… I was actually planning to do one of these…
