Trending Blog Topics That Could Boost Your Page Views in November
November has arrived and just like that, 2022 is just over the horizon. It’s also Q4 for publishers, which means creators are (or should be) making content that covers the seasonal trending topics we obsess over this time of year. Pumpkin spice lattes, anyone? Of course, there are a lot of blog post ideas to choose from no matter your niche, so we’ve compiled everything into one list.
Ahead are topics that should be on your radar, all of which are pulled directly from data across our own network, including SheKnows and StyleCaster. If boosting page views is your priority, try at least one of these SEO terms to help your cause.

Even if this year looks a little different than most, one thing that won’t let us down are nostalgic holiday films, am I right?

Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is on November 26 this year. If you haven’t already gone through your Thanksgiving top performers from last year and updated them, now is the time. Thanksgiving recipe basics are competitive and typically the rankings go to major brands like AllRecipes and The Food Network. When you’re trying to decide what headline to use, go for long-tail (4-5 words) phrases that are less competitive. There won’t be as high of search volume for these terms, but there will be very specific user intent and less competition.
