“Knowing which websites are trending provides important information on what web users are looking for, which in turn allows for more effective ways of tailoring your content to meet this demand,” says Gabriel Shaoolian, CEO & founder of Digital Silk. 

Shaoolian adds that ixigua.com is “one of a few websites that made this list that deliver video content to users, which reflects the wider trend across the internet to provide users with more video content.” 

As for the increase seen by adblockplus.org, this was “likely contributed to by YouTube pursuing more aggressive anti-adblock measures,” says Shaoolian.
