Look at Google Trends, Quora, Yahoo Answers, keyword tools that get from Google Instant are also good.
Find forums. Look at Reddit (add /top/?t=all at the end to check out the most popular posts)

Hey could you provide a little bit more insight to your request?
I'm assuming your looking for people's questions to find write up the proper articles to answer their questions. Marketing 101 find the demand and create a supply. There are multiple ways you can go about this:
1st List all your competitors and see what they are doing on the web. What exactly are they writing about
2nd. Do a pull of their backlinks and see who's linking to them and why so. Whats their anchor text, the anchor text is important because it shows what people (blogs/websites) think about their site.
This should be a good start for you being you provided limited information.

Bogus Search Results
Hi, A website I look after was hacked. We cleaned it up , removed malicious content and changed passwords. However the bogus links which were created have kept multiplying. Search Console is all clear. But they keep adding to Google, bogus links. My client site is www.mechfieldfm.com.au For example http://mechfieldfm.com.au/JCB-BACKHOE-IGNITION-SWITCH-WITH-2-KEYS-PART-NO-70180184-70145500-372796/ There are thousands of bogus links created. But I believe they are outside the hosting. Any help would be appreciated.

Why is an old meta description displaying in search results?
We launched a new version of our retail website in Dec. 2012. This included new content and new metadata. When our homepage displays in search results, it almost always displays with designated meta description - except when it's searched with the .com. In that case, an old version of our meta description (pre-Dec. 2012) is visible, though our current title displays. The old metadata isn't loaded anywhere in our content management system. What can we do to change this?

What are your favourite tools for discoving popular content?
Since looking around for popular content discovery tools I came across a review about a tool called PostRank which seemed ideal until I learned Google had bought it and shut it down already 😞 So far I have been using Google reader and Topsy to discover popular content in my niches but I am guessing there are a whole bunch of other tools out there that may work even better - please do let me know your favourites!

Can forums bring down your search engine rankings?
it might be my imagination, but i could swear that after the launch of a bbpress forum and posts and replies coming from members, the site alexa website rankings actually went DOWN for a while. i always thought forums would de facto bring up rankings - more content, traffic, etc. Is it possible that forum content is considered lower quality? i remember reading that lots of new threads and such from forum members can actually hurt your rankings- is this true? i guess i'm trying to figure out: on balance, what is the impact of forums on rankings - and if there are any negative impacts, if you still want to have one, how to minimize the downside? thanks much for any help!

I have a page where you can download a PDF of the material - should I exclude the PDF from the search engines?
In my niche, there is a controversial research article that is very popular. I am writing a rebuttal to this article and giving another point of view. My article has the potential to be really good link bait for my site. The original article is often printed out to be shown to professionals in my niche. My hope is that people will do the same with mine. So, I plan to have a PDF version of my article available on my page. The article that is visible on my site (i.e. non PDF) will be a graphic rich article that is easy for the reader to go through. I plan to have the PDF have all of the same text, but it won't have as many graphics - it will look more like a scientific research article. So, should I exclude the pdf from search engines so that it isn't duplicate content? Or does that even matter seeing as it is a duplicate of my own content? I want people to link to the main article, not the pdf. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
