I was doing some research for a new campaign with EZABullDozer and noticed an interesting difference between the most viewed articles of August, and the most viewed articles of the year so far. Take a look; here are the top ten most viewed articles so far, for August 2009:

Weight loss and sex top that list.
That piqued my interest, so I started checking the stats for each month, to see which article end up being most viewed over time. Sure enough, weight loss, sex, penis size....the usual suspects.
Making money articles get buried by these other topics over time. Is this a kind of long-tail effect? Making money articles get an initial rush but then interest falls off. Or are people suddenly very interested in making money?
Hmmm...more research beckons. What do you guys think?
