Top Read Content From the Locable Network for April 2014

We're introducing a new monthly segment where we're highlighting the most read content from the past month across the Locable Network - specifically the most popular local articles and events.

We've previously written about simple things publishers can do to produce or highlight highly viral content and thought an ongoing overview of popular content would help keep you in the loop. Some content has an obvious viral hook while others are simply popular because of their local relevance and from looking in as an outsider they're seemingly run-of-the-mill.

This is far from a scientific review particularly given that our Most Read recaps will follow the calendar month while some of the most popular articles are posted late in a given month and, thus, the true readership of some articles is not easily encapsulated over a calendar month. It's also important to note that while everyone loves talking about the home runs, the breakout viral articles, it's the singles and doubles that help a site become truly successful and sustainable.

In any case, here are our most read articles and events for April 2014. Congratulations to the publishers who appear on this list and especially to those who appear multiple times - keep up the good work!
