Top Seven Most Popular Topics According to Article Marketing Services
It can be hard to guess what will get people excited enough to send a link to their family and friends, to bookmark an article, or even to buy something based on information in an article. The best way to guess is retrospectively - looking back at what has made history for article marketing services in terms of numbers of views. Today, that’s what we are doing - looking at the articles and topics that have made history in 2009!
1. Swine Flu
The epidemic had the potential to very personally affect every one of us, and any article marketing services that managed to get their clients on the information train for swine flu did very well this year.
2. Michael Jackson
So many hits that even the Google servers couldn’t handle it! If you published something about Michael Jackson you were competing with some very big name sites, but if the content was worthwhile it did well.
3. Susan Boyle
This contestant on UK Idol became the most watched video on YouTube for a brief time. There wasn’t much user-generated content about her (in comparison to broader topics), but what was available encouraged plenty of interaction
4. Charlie Bit my Finger
The most popular YouTube video as of the end of 2009 was also the most popular of all time … a cute video of one brother biting the other’s finger. Even article marketing services wouldn’t have predicted this one!
5. Climate change
The opinion experts and the scientific experts did the best on this topic, which Scientific American had great success with through their article ‘Seven Answers to Climate Contrarian Nonsense’. The small businesses that took a green angle were also able to do very well with their article marketing by using these keywords along with their own.
6. What does my name mean?
Along with the biggies that can be expected, like Facebook, MySpace, Wikipedia and YouTube, this search was one of the top ones on AOL at various points during the year. It lends itself well to DIY articles, but is labor intensive to produce original content.
7. Harry Potter movie
There really is only so much that article marketing services can publish about the Harry Potter movie … people just have to watch it! But the topic generated a huge amount of user interaction when it was discussed on Twitter and blogs this year.
