Stuck for a new idea for your next eHow article? Don't worry. Google to the rescue!

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Google's experimental search feature, "Google Suggest", is a great way to generate ideas for your next eHow article. See the Resource links, below, to link to Google Suggest directly.

  2. Step 2
    click to enlarge
    click to enlarge

    Once there, type "How to" into the search box (you don't need the quote marks, though). You'll immediately see Google's suggestions for the most popular searches beginning with 'How to'. Google even gives you stats on the search's popularity.

  3. Step 3
    click to enlarge
    click to enlarge

    As you continue typing, the suggestions will adjust appropriately.



    Try:

    How to a
    How to b
    How to c

    and so on.

  4. Step 4
    click to enlarge
    click to enlarge

    See a "How to" that looks interesting? A bit mysterious? Just move the cursor over it to highlight the phrase, and give it a click. Google will bring up the search results so you can see what it's all about.

  5. Step 5
    click to enlarge
    click to enlarge

    Of course, you're not restricted to "How to". A search on "How can I" and similar phrases also gives excellent results.
