In the article I showed an example of the term, "wordpress seo" and how over the past 3 years it has rapidly grown, but is still a very small search term in comparison to the generalized term, "SEO". You're right in that you could spend day after day finding the latest trends right as they appear, but 99% of people and companies are not going to have the resources to invest in this and act upon that data. A best practice for individuals and smaller companies is to check every few weeks for small but continually rising trends related to your industry and then target those with new PPC advertisements. Over the course of time you can create a very robust PPC campaign that targets thousands of search phrases with growing popularity, yet it remains highly specific and low cost. If you have additional time and resources, you should develop on-site SEO to target the faster/larger growing trends for long term growth. Hope this helps, Matt Hey Jonathan,
