In addition to providing information on the world soccer craze this month, Suite101.com, readers can find online articles that look at popular evergreen topics, offering advice and how to information on a wide range of topics. In addition to the World Cup, Suite101 also saw spikes in traffic around articles pertaining to pregnancy and childbirth in June. The most highly trafficked articles in this area included articles on miscarriage, baby names and ways to lose weight after giving birth.
“While we do not have a news department we do see interest spikes for our articles that relate to specific current events. People always need background information in addition to the news,” said Peter Berger, CEO, Suite101.com Media Inc. “World Cup Soccer attracts wide global interest every four years, and for consumers that don’t follow soccer on a regular basis, Suite101.com is a great place to get up to speed quickly. Most often, we see traffic spike for events tied to a seasonal topic, like preparing outdoor gardens in the spring, but we are also seeing popularity of articles spike when they are related to an issue or cause of great interest to consumers, such as the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. We’re fortunate to have a group of experts that cover these news topics in addition to the more evergreen topics, such as childbirth and gardening, which you’ll find on the site.”
