One of the easiests ways to drive more traffic to your website is by creating content about what people research, but also, about what they plan to do. The general idea is actually the same: if publishers talk about topics people are interested in, they will get more traffic. Only, there is not just one way to find out about their interests. According to Statista, last year 77% of Americans celebrated Easter.

Based on the information that we have about activities and plans in the previous years, we can have a pretty good idea of their interests. The pandemic last year forced people to change plans, but not interests. Most Americans still plan to celebrate Easter with their families. Even if they have to meet virtually. Also, cooking, for instance, is still an activity that we saw on the top of the list last year.
