Creating articles that will bring the most traffic to a website
1. The article should have a very broad audience. For example, an article about the Apostle Paul is going to going to have more broad appeal than an article about a local pastor (No disrespect intended for the fine individuals who serve as local pastors). '''One of the keys to getting your article to the top of the search engines is the amount of GLOBAL links to your articles.''' Now given that a very large percentage of English speaking internet users are Americans it is suicide to be anti-American in your article. At the same time, you want English speakers from England, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, and India, and other countries to link to your articles. A way to optimize global links to your articles is to have the weight of your articles mention American events and American experts the most but also cite experts from England, New Zealand, Australia, and even non-English speaking countries where translations are available. In addition, mention other notable events/trends/statistics etc in other continents nations as well - '''particularly English speaking countries as these will be your main audience'''. There are a lot of Americans who do want to know about the rest of the world although there is certainly Americans who do not really care unfortunately. I generally stick to talking about the Western World in my articles as I think this will gain the most English speaking readers. However, recently I found some good information on Google South Africa that applied to the Western world and to South Africa.
So how do you easily do research in regards to other english speaking countries? Well I am not a librarian but I can tell you that I have easily found some absolutely great information by using Google Canada, Google UK, Google Ireland, Google Australia, Google New Zealand. I do not privy to the innner working of Google but it makes sense if you cite highly ranked articles in Google Canada, Google UK it is certainly not going to hurt your article search engine rankings and will likely help! You need to click the option to where you see only pages from that country in question.

2. In relation to conservative articles or articles on conservative websites, do not rely on the press or blogs or internet forums to generate traffic for an articleunless you plan on posting on some of the big blogs or forums. Given If a topical area has very prominent blogs or forums and you post on them it can provide a boost for your articles and create internet buzz. However, given that the majority of the press is liberal it is wishful thinking to believe the liberal press will be of much helpfor conservative articles or articles at a conservative website. If it happens that is great but consider that icing on the cake. Often the blogs find out about an article because it has a fairly high profile via the search engines which are generating traffic for the article. As of November 30, 2007 the company http://www.google.com had about 78% percent of the market share for search engine traffic. (see: http://marketshare.hitslink.com/report.aspx?qprid=4 ).
