@OP osglass This is a Vince Tan creation being part of his
My Simple 5-Step System To Using This List and you should give credit where it is due. Also you censored/edited the quote in your OP thus being disingenuous to BBHF members. Just be aware that with these two lists one is from 2007 and the other is from a prior time or before 2007. What the OP edited is highlighted in yellow below:

50,000 “How To...”
Niche Keywords
Hey guys… This report contains 2 list of 25,000 “How To” Niche ideas. One is a new and fresh updated “How To” keyword list that was mined on January 1st, 2007. While another one was done awhile back. So in total there will be 50,000 Niche Ideas for you to tap into. The reason that I use “How To” for conducting this research is because I believe this can really tell you what people really WANT TO KNOW. If you know what people WANT, then you obviously will go and create and SELL THEM WHAT THEY WANT. It could be used for Adsense monetization, affiliate marketing and any other form of monetization.

My Simple 5-Step System To Using This List
Most, if not all of you, do not need any type of examples of how to use this list to create a website. But just in case some of you are sitting there wondering what to do with these hungry little niches, allow me to give you a very quick and simple example of exactly how I am going to use an idea from the list and how I will research further into the niche to build a site.
Keep in mind that this is what I am comfortable doing when building a site. There are many ways to skin a cat. My approach is very simple, but it works. However, it is also a lot of hard work because I believe in article writing for long-term, stable traffic.
1. The first thing that you must do is determine your goal. What is it that you want to do? Build products? Create a service? Get leads? The answer to that question is easy for me because I know exactly what I want to accomplish this year and I have determined the steps to get there. Without going into details lets just say that everything starts with a simple little content site.
2. Pick 1 niche idea from the “How To” list.
This is the easy part, because you have 25,000 phrases below where people (yes real people) have asked you “how to do something”. So give them what they want! After browsing the list I quickly chose the phrase
“how to cook crab legs”. It only took me 30 seconds to determine that this would be an ideal niche idea to start a content site. I have a 2-step process to determining a niche topic. Here it is:
a) When I see a keyword phrase I immediately ask myself if this is something that I can build a product around in the future or at least affiliate for someone that has a product based around this niche. “Crab Legs” is a food and where there is food there are recipes. And where there are recipes there are people looking for them and are willing to buy them!
b) Now since I will not be creating a product at first and only building a content site, I still want my site to earn adsense income right from the start. So in order to earn adsense income there must be advertisers paying for ads based around this keyword. I then quickly typed in the words “crab legs” (with quotes) in google and looked to the right of the screen. What did I see?
I saw 20 ads that google is charging advertisers every time someone is clicking on them based around “crab legs”. This is a great start!
3. My third step is to do some more keyword research around the niche. I must take the crab legs niche and find keywords that I will write articles around for both my site and for promotion.
***Remember, this is only a quick example of how to get an idea started as a website so I am not going to go into detail about the best way to choose your article keywords or site promotion. Let's just say that everyone is different when it comes to determining what stats they want their keywords to be based from.
After logging into my Wordtracker account and researching more “crab leg” keywords, I found the 20 keywords that I wanted to use to start my site off. What am I going to do with 20 keywords? It's simple. I am going to write articles around all of them; 5 for my site and 15 for article promotions.
For the 5 pages of my site I chose more general keywords. And my article promotion keywords will be “low hanging fruit” (this is just a name for a keyword that may not have many searches, but is less competitive and easy to rank for in the SE's from an article directory).
My website will have one page each for the following keywords:
crab legs recipe, crab legs, cook crab legs, cooking snow crab legs, and steaming crab legs.
Now here are the 15 keywords that I chose to build articles around for submission and promotion:
cooking time for crab legs
snow crab legs and cooking
cooking alaskan crab legs
cooking king crab legs
how to steam frozen snow crab legs
cooking crab legs recipe
how to make king crab legs
how to cook king crab legs
best way to cook crab legs
how to cook crab legs
how to grill crab legs
alaskan crab legs
cooking crab legs
cooking frozen king crab legs
boiled crab legs
4. Now it's time to write my content.
Now that I have picked a niche idea from my “How To” list, determined that it was profitable, and did my keyword research, it's time to roll up my sleeves and get to the dirty work of writing 20 articles so that I can get my site launched and making money. Personally, I can write all 20 in one day. However I have been writing articles for some time now and can quickly come up with content to write a keyword into. The best way to come up with content quickly is to purchase PLR article packages so if I were having a hard time with crab legs articles then I would search for a package that may cater to this niche and then rewrite the articles.
5. Now it's time to start making money from the site by submitting articles!
Once my 5-page site is online and my 15 promotion articles are ready I will then submit one article per day to an article directory like ezinearticles for 15 days straight. After the initial 15-day article promotion is finished I will create and submit one new article per week to maintain the growth and traffic of the site.
Here Are Your 50,000 “How To...” Niche Ideas
WARNING: There are a few sexually explicit phrases in this list. I did my best to have Wordtracker screen them but there are still some out there. However, to some of you these will prove to be profitable keywords if you are working in the adult or dating niches.
The numbers you see to the left of the keywords are explained as:
1. The first number is simply the number of the keyword phrase, from 1 – 25,000.
2. The second number is the count. This refers to the number of times the keyword has appeared in Wordtracker's database.
As of January 3rd, 2007 there are 303,886,993 keywords contained in the database. So if the count is 21135 then that means that the keyword has appeared 21,135 times out of 303,886,993.
3. The third number is called the “predicted” number. This is the maximum total predicted traffic for all of the major search engines/pay per bids and directories. It is based on the current 24 hour period.
Note: The Count and predicted is only for the latest 25,000 niche ideas as previously when I did the other niche research I did not manage to pull such data.
Number – Count – Predicted - Keyword
----------------------------------------------------
1, 21135, 27306, how to save a life
2, 4249, 5489, the fray how to save a life
3, 3135, 4050, how to save a life the fray
The list obviously goes on and on. Just be aware this list is more than eight (8) years old!
OP should have made that clear to all BBHF members!
