What Makes An Article Popular?

By Will Schlepinger


Available in the Internet these days are plenty of articles. Nearly everyone these days have written articles and those are found to have different types. Giving you information but are not exhaustive as the scholarly ones are popular articles while scholarly articles are very informative down to the last number. There are many ways to identify popular articles.

Popular articles are more likely to find a place in the newspapers and magazines and they are pretty much based on current topics. What they are based on include news stories and magazines. Scholarly articles are not like the popular press articles and learning to differentiate between them is important. The problem with that while the scholarly articles are very informative, they present only information to the people with the least of interest in the subject, or sometimes have no idea on the subject and the methodology discussed. They are made for by the popular articles that give in information that is only required by the reader. This trend is also recognized by the website owners in the Internet and have started to supply intended information in the form of popular articles.

In general, articles obtained from the scholarly press are viewed as the ones with more authority on the subject. Because of painstaking research and documentation, they are the result you will get. Written by anyone to fulfill the needs of the target audience are the popular articles. They are published more quickly as they are seldom verified.

A less authoritative point of view is also offered. But take note that both types of articles are content-oriented and visual. It is also important in the context of the articles viewed over the internet that the distinction is made to understand the difference in point of view.

The difference in the types of articles is that popular articles do not have any reference and certainly do not follow any specific structure. They are known to be prone to mistakes in the facts listed as well as in the statistics. Not verified by academics or experts in the field are the popular articles. Popular articles are based on the searches made by the users and also on the keywords searched. The keywords have an important bearing on the popular articles as they present the key in catering those articles to the users searching for it. Generally, you can find popular articles on sites that cater to specific issues like the environment, sports, etc. as well as on the news websites.
