If you’re a blogger, you need to know how to use trending topics for your blog. To show you how it’s done, here’s a tutorial on how to find rising trending topics that will rank in Google Search and get readers clicking on your blog.
In this article, I’ll be going over 3 different ways to find trending topics for your blog:
Google Trends
First of all, let’s start with the best tool that you have at your disposal: google trends. This is a free tool that allows us to see the trend of certain search phrases over time. You can also see the traffic ranking of a particular website, and find out which countries and search engines are most interested in a particular phrase. Let’s take a look at how google trends works:
Go to Trends.google.com and enter your search phrase or topic into the search box
That’s it! Google will display keywords, searches over time, the best time to post (in terms of search volume), and more information about your topic. Simply scroll down to see more information on each search term. It’s important to note here that you may not be able to find exact phrases because Google will try to match similar phrases instead. To make it easier for you though, google has provided a tool that can generate trending words based on user input. Simply click here to use this tool.
Trendchirp
Trendchirp is not as popular as Google Trends, but give it time.

To narrow down your search, you can click on Advanced Search located on top of the page, and choose a different category from the dropdown box. You can also type in a specific keyword related to the topic that you’re searching for to help narrow down your results even more. Try entering location-related keywords as well as keyword-related keywords for more results. Don’t forget about buzz words as well – they make a huge difference in finding relevant questions being asked by Internet users about a particular topic.
There’s also a handy tool that Trendchirp offers if you’re searching for keywords such as ‘business’, ‘money’ and so on. Simply type in the keyword in the search bar, and a dropdown box will appear. There you will have a list of general questions being asked in Trendchirp related to your topic, and click on any of them.

Reddit’s Hot Threads section
Reddit’s Hot Threads is another place where tons of people are posting relevant topics related to your blog topic. Simply click on the ‘hot’ tab at the top of the page, and you will see all of the most popular topics that are being posted at the moment. The best part about these threads is that they’re always changing since users can submit new topics at any time – that means you’ll always be up-to-date with what’s really happening on reddit.
Today, almost all websites have a section for comments at the bottom of their pages. In some cases, these comments are moderated before being posted, but in the case of reddit, you have a section where all hot topics from around the world are being collected. The Reddit’s Hot section is a good place to find out what’s really going on. Visit the subreddit If you’re interested in learning how to find trending topics to blog about.
