Facebook Users REALLY Like Sex
Portions of this post were taken from the original blog post Facebook Users Like Sex [STATS] seen on Mashable.com.
I don’t think it’s much of a secret to my readers, but Facebook users REALLY like sex! The psychologist Dan Zarrella uses the Regressive Imagery Dictionary (RID) and Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC) methods to arrive at the conclusion that, “Articles … that include sexual references in their titles are shared on Facebook far more than the average story.”
Zarrella has been actively capturing 12,000 links from news sites and blogs since February of this year for analysis. Facebook users are extremely fascinated with sex, as sex links are 90% more likely to be shared than other types of content.
I for one know that when I see a sex related link on Facebook, or any site for that matter, catches my attention. Whether you are trying to promote yourself or your business make sure to include some sort of sexual reference in your Facebook title if you want the link shared with others.
This study once again proves that sex is on everyone’s mind the majority of the day!
