I would like to say that I think it's important to write your own words because you feel they are worthy, not because they may be popular. I write from my head and sometimes from my heart. I typically write pieces that offer analysis, breakdown,and a more critical view on what's being said. I also write things that I think will genuinely help people.
Good articles stand on their own merit.
The fishing article above, my most read, was the first article in a section of the site that is still relatively unknown, and I doubt if I shared it with more than 5-10 people.

Read the Bleacher Tips, the art of the headline is what made that article.
