What Popular Now

If you ask any advanced webmaster - what is now the most popular on the Internet, many will answer that it is the social network and Web 2.0. Nope... Look at the picture:



The Blue Line is not роrn, perhaps as many thought, it is the word "pokemon", red is "social network", orange is "web 2.0".

That is a super site about social networks potential audience will be many times less than that of the site with pictures from cartoon.

And this is when running a campaign in the press. A web site is about Web 2.0 it turns out nobody at all necessary.

Well there is such a useful tool as Google Trends where this can be viewed before spend time on nonsense.

Another example: the commonly experienced masters novice to the question of where to start talking "start with аdult, because there are many traffic."

After reading the picture as advocating adult for beginners will be a bit more difficult. :)

Conclusions:

1) what really popular often does not coincide with that so fashionable, especially if it is fashionable in professional environment, like webmaster-gam.
2) When talking about something that is popular - if possible have to check itself.
3) Invalid authoritative view very often can distort the image of reality, what is not sin in order to benefit from the monetization of general misconceptions. :)
