I recently looked at a post with a similar title here on ActicveRain. I noticed in reading the post that the information I found inside was similar to others that got far less views.
I decided to search around ActiveRain for a while to get an idea of what types of posts get the most "views" - and to my surprise, I found that the most views came from posts that really didn't have anything to do with our industry. Just posts that give us a place to go and escape for a while.
In this market, many of us can not afford to go on a vacation. Going to a warm and fuzzy post may just give us the "mini" vacation that we need. Its free. Its fast. You can leave anytime. Your mind can escape and put you in "another" place. A place to relax and forget about whats going on.
It's funny when you think about it. These posts, in many cases, do actually get our minds off things and allow us to time to "relax" and just be. It's the post that get down to business that are overlooked it seems. If you wanted to find an informative post, look for the ones with the least amount of comments or views. That's funny!
Just some thoughts.
