Have you ever wondered what the most successful content model is for online businesses?

The Mequoda Research Team pondered this question and decided to find out by diligently researching the top websites online.

To begin, we collected information from Compete on the top 1,000 websites online pertaining to traffic. The Mequoda 500 Research Methodology discusses our research, the top five content models and the Mequoda Open Content Standards. This information can help publishers see what content models are successful online.

Five Content Models

The popular content models being used by top websites include: open content, closed content, retail content, user-generated content and search engine content.

Many of the websites in the Mequoda 500 incorporate more than one of those models to create a successful online business. For instance, many open content websites also allow user-generated content as they want users to interact with the brand and other users through their website.

The Mequoda 500 Research Methodology also details how many of the top 500 websites are compliant with the Mequoda Open Content Standards of Content-Driven, Subscriber-Centric, Google-Friendly and Multiplatform.
