    Hello,

    We need to write 20 casino ( not poker ) articles per day. What would be the best sources ( urls ) to find articles subject ideas?

    Thank you.

    It's not a URL, but you can make a list of things assosciated with "casino" for some easy topic ideas.

    Again, not urls but here's a tip that should provide some solid topics to write on based on Casinos. I would use Google Keyword tool and just add Casino as your main keyword. It will give a list of more specific Casino related keywords to then search in Google. Add these specific Casino related keywords to the word "articles" in Google and you should have all of the research material you would need. Repeat the process with all of the keywords found in Google Keyword tool.

    Google's keyword tool is a good way to go. Find your "synonyms", Google those, and look at the pages in the top 10. The content of these pages will give you an idea of what you can write articles on, in relation to the keyword.

    sounds like travel and deals. The obvious answer is travel reviews of vegas, atlantic, loughlin, monte carlo. Write about how get comps and how to find packages, e.g., Bellagio comped drinks and snacks while watching bar football on big screen with freerolls but minimum so many dollars gambled per stay day.

    You said "to find articles subject ideas." Do you mean you want to know what kinds of casino articles people are looking for? Or do you want the URLs so you can base your articles on existing ones on the web?

    If you want to know what kind of casino info people need, try gambling forums or Yahoo Answers. You should get plenty of ideas from the questions people ask there.

    If you just want article ideas, try gambling books in your local library. If you were given URLs of quality casino content online, you might just end up copying or rewriting them. There isn't much you can do for your client or their readers if all you do is borrow from existing sites.

    Good luck!

    The way I approach articles is by thinking what I want to convey and then jot it down in either a paper or on text document on my computer.

    It's only when I know what I want to talk about that I start writing. The title normally comes in last.

    But I doubt you will be able to write 20 unique articles in one day.

    You have galore of websites where you can find tutorials on casino and poker, so browse them and I am sure you can write 20 or even 30 unique articles a day.

    I would go to related forums and see what people are talking about. Or, maybe search yahoo answers or a similar site to see what people are asking about the most. Then do some research and write about it.

    The Google Keyword Tool is really useful, you can take a look at Google Trends too. They are great to find keyword/topic suggestions.

    You could also go to article directories, like Ezine and Search Warp, and see what other writers are writing about. This could give you some ideas for your own articles.

    Great post. There are a lot of ways to find article ideas. There are also a lot of softwares that can be used for this too. You can actually find free trials or subscriptions like market samurai.

    I totally agree with you on both counts. Jotting down ideas on paper is a great way to start. 20 articles per day on a new topic is a lot. If you consider the amount of research and reading you have to do on a topic, and then need to write 10k words or so, then 20 articles per day is a lot.

    The only people who seem to do this many are those writing variation on the same topic.

    I think the problem is that most article buyers care more that the article passes copyscape, and not that it is interesting and unique to a human reader.

    I have seen article bundles on "topic XYZ", where half the articles are just variation on on "Introduction to XYZ".

    You get what you pay for.
