What Are the Most Newsworth Topics in UK News of 2009

Auto Date Friday, January 15th, 2010

We have decided to look at the rising searches of the year, using the Google Insight website, as these give a good idea exactly what people in the UK news wanted to find out more about, and whilst there are some of the usual subjects, some of the news stories that made the biggest rise in 2009 might well surprise a few people.

Rising Results

1. swine flu Breakout

2. Susan Boyle Breakout

3. flu +4,250%

4. jade +1,650%

5. jade goody +1,500%

6. Robert Pattinson +1,250%

7. Rihanna +950%

8. katie price +800%

9. Michael Jackson +750%

10. Google maps +500%

No real surprises at the top, with Swine Flu causing panic across the UK in the early part of the summer and Susan Boyle becoming an overnight sensation thanks to Britain’s Got Talent towards the middle of the year. Jade Goody’s death was the reason search terms for the Big Brother Celebrity were so high, and probably the same for Michael Jackson, who also died this year.

The other spots are taken by Rihanna who had the infamous issues with her boyfriend, and Katie Price is also there, as she dominated the headlines with the on / off Peter Andre relationship and then the inevitable divorce that followed. The release of Twilight lead to Robert Pattinson lead to this actor rising up the news search terms, with Google maps completing the top ten, probably because of the Street View controversy that struck this year.

So, the question we began to ask ourselves, would our friends in America be searching for anything else, or is news a truly global matter.

The Swine Flue worry also matched the concern in the UK, with that being the top search in the American Google News, with Rihanna and Michael Jackson also matching in the top ten. Tiger Woods made a late charge into the top rising searches, for obvious reasons, and the top ten also saw a few movies and celebrities feature, with New Moon being an example of this.

A large portion of your business relies on your ability to deliver quality information to your visitors.

Trashy websites built entirely of low-response sales letters are all too common. Your visitors and mailing list subscribers rely on you for something more….

Build a lasting relationship by offering quality information while keeping them informed of products that will improve their business and not just deflate their bank account!

Posting articles to your website is a good idea because it adds content for the search engines, and when your visitors publish your articles to their ezine or on their site with your resource box attached, it’s a free advertisement for you!

A BIG part of my business comes from articles I publish to other ezines and newsletters. So you can imagine my surprise when I found out how much traffic I was missing out on by not using these methods.

This is a great way to bring in some extra traffic but, you can take this concept further still by publishing your articles to the internet through ezine directories and groups such as, Yahoo or Topica Groups.

Try running a google search on ‘ezine directories’, then visiting the first 20 sites and bookmarking their article submission page for fast submissions in the future.

Be sure to make the subject line ‘eye-catching’ or you’ll end up in the recycle bin without even being read!

Submit EACH article page to the major search engines, target niche keywords using a database service, Wordtracker offers a free trial, although you’ll have access to more keywords by using their paid version.

These are just a few examples of the benefits of producing quality articles, getting published in the right places can bring targeted traffic for days, weeks, and even months to come. So…..

Get writing!
