Why general topic? Why not niche topic? These days, when Marven and HubPages were into a sort of specialist marriage, writing general topic is liken to writing idiot topic. If you insisted on being general, then be specific about key words. Not general words, but specific words that make readers see you as an expert. More than this, try keying in relately new words from reseachers on the topic. Sure, the web is saturated with millions of general topic. Heck, were you going to be among these billions? How could then Google search spider locate your general topic on search results? These feedbacks are my research. Later, I'll apply them when I finish gathering all the informations I need. Much thanks.
Sooooo... go ahead. Knock yourself out.
No need to announce it.
5 or 7 years ago, general topic could be idea. 2 years later, Google start penalizing HubPages for lack of traffic as a result of general articles.
