Success Stories

Prove BestThinking's ability to increase visibility and produce strong search results yourself by performing a Google search on the bold terms in these success stories.

You would think a beginning writer with a famous author for a cousin would be helpful in establishing visibility, but the opposite is true in the Web world. In a search for "Vonnegut Blog", novelist Norb Vonnegut was getting buried under results for his famous modern novelist cousin Kurt Vonnegut. Neither publishing his own novels, nor frequent Huffington Post syndication of his own blog full of unique Wall Street insights put Norb at the top of search engine results.

But after several months of active blogging on BestThinking, Norb's BestThinking Blog is at the top of results on a Google search for "Vonnegut Blog". Publishing on BestThinking helped Norb solidify his personal branding and pave the way for future success.

Dr. David A White is a tenured professor of physics producing groundbreaking work in modeling gluon emissions, a key concept in solving the unified theory of everything, a mystery that elluded even Einstein. Due to the revolutionary aspects of his work, Dr. White was having a hard time publishing these pieces in traditional academic journals. After publishing on BestThinking, however, he saw greater demand for his work and is enjoying new-found recognition for his innovative research.

A search for "Gluon Emission Model", a common search term in physics, now shows Dr. White's BestThinking Articles at the top of the search results despite the generic nature of the search term and the large number of results. The success of his search results makes Dr. White's work much more accessible and further establishes him as a thought leader in his area of expertise

Trending Topics on BestThinking combine original and curated content by thought leaders to create the "go to" place for quality, in-depth information on important recent topics. Sean Peace created a timely Topic about the stealth helicopter utilized by Navy SEAL Team 6 when the news broke about the Osama bin Laden mission. By writing his own commentary and adding relevant stories from BestThinking and the best sources on the Web, he created a high quality Trending Topic that went to the top of Google's search results.

A Google search using the general question, "Did Bin Laden Mission Use Secret Stealth Helicopter" now shows Sean’s Topic at the top of the Google search results. This demonstrates that combining fresh original content and curated "Best of the Web" content using the BestThinking platform can outperform traditional major media outlets in search results. Sean's lifelong passion for aviation and special interest in stealth aircraft applied on BestThinking enabled him to obtain the visibility he deserved based on the quality of his work, not an editor's opinion of his pedigree or prior position.
