Taking your list of Passion Topics above I did a search on the term wine using Overtures Search Term Suggestion Tool and included the results below

Fri, 28 Apr 2017 | Affiliate Networks

Because of my personal success with dating sites, I often gauge a topic's potential by comparing its primary keyword against the keyword 'dating'. 'Dating' usually receives around three hundred thousand searches per month at Overture and its partners. Checking the results below, there were over 221 thousand searches for the term 'wine' and related phrases in just one month.

If I were a wine enthusiast or winemaking expert, I would feel very positive about the potential for my topic at this point.

Many webmasters don't realize that you can click on any of the keywords that are returned by the suggestion tool, and get a list of all the phrases that include the words you selected.

For example, after looking at the results for the search on 'wine' above, I clicked on the term 'wine making' and got the following list. Again, you could then click on the term 'wine making supply' and all the searches that included the words 'wine' 'making' and 'supply' would be returned.

And so on and so forth.

Although Overture doesn't permit advertisers to place listings for keywords and phrases that receive fewer than 100 searches per month, I left those terms in the above list for their research value.

Recognize too that the number of searches will fluctuate from month to month, especially with seasonal topics, so it's best not to hastily exclude any possibilities during the research process. Certain keywords may not be accepted for pay per click listings this month or next, but perhaps they will be accepted three or four months from now.

It's better to add to your research base, than to subtract from it.

The beauty of doing this type of research is that it should help you formulate a richer plan of action for your Web site.

For example, after looking at the search results above, your 'how-to-make-wine' site plan might begin to 'flesh out' somewhat to include the following sections:

• Wine making techniques

• Recommended wine-related books & magazines

• Online wine forums

• Wine making supplies & accessories

As you start to fine-tune your ideas about what you will offer at your Web site, you can also start to fine-tune your keywords.

After sorting through all the keywords revealed during your research, and deleting those pertaining to specific wine regions, retailers, music groups (e.g. April Wine) and other terms that are irrelevant to your topic, your spreadsheet might look something like this:
