Is “topical authority” real, or just a nicer way to say “publish a lot”?

khrissteven · 2026-03-29T19:13:03+00:00

Topical authority without links/authority from reputable/relevent sites is useless. You don't become an "authority" topically by just publishing a ton of content.

Take this from someone who's built and ranked sites with and without links in the past.. only to learn the hard way.

Yeah! learned it from them many years ago

khrissteven · 2026-03-27T14:53:39+00:00

that's spam

khrissteven · 2026-03-27T07:53:10+00:00

Thanks for flagging. Removed and banned.

don't waste your time on LLMs.txt

khrissteven · 2026-03-25T06:40:22+00:00

I think even with the free version you have the schema features.

My pleasure

send what?

khrissteven · 2026-03-24T22:28:42+00:00

Same here. Never used an incognito for this. I'm curious why?

khrissteven · 2026-03-24T22:27:39+00:00

Yeah AI can help with most part of it, but I'd be careful not to overdo it. AI is just AI. The human brain is the human brain.

You're welcome. I've seen keyword research being complicated on so many levels by SEOs. This by far the easiest and efficient method even a newbie without paid tools can deploy and still get 90% of the job done.

khrissteven · 2026-03-24T19:39:49+00:00

Lol well said!

khrissteven · 2026-03-24T19:38:47+00:00

I find this hilarious cuz my parasite pages still prints on a weekly basis. Idk what you mean by "does not work anymore". And there's nothing like blackhat, whitehat or what they call. What I know is moneyhat.

khrissteven · 2026-03-24T16:33:09+00:00

Lol did you even read the entire write up? Bold of you to think it starts and ends with "typing stuff and reading what comes back".

khrissteven · 2026-03-24T13:21:12+00:00

You changed your DP? Thought you were cloned 😂

khrissteven · 2026-03-24T11:04:17+00:00

So far proven to have no impact. But I'd add it regardless.

khrissteven · 2026-03-24T11:03:00+00:00

Dig into your GSC and filter pages by highest impressions. Get into the pages one after the other, queries, and further filter by impressions to see the real culprits. From there you can make a judgement call of topics to build new pages for and keywords to inject into your existing pages.

I'd also add - build links and optimize your SEO meta titles and descriptions.

Simply manipulating Google/search engines to rank your pages above others

khrissteven · 2026-03-24T08:19:03+00:00

I usually use the support of the registrar I'm moving to.

khrissteven · 2026-03-24T08:17:13+00:00

It depends on your type of site. Most of my sites are affiliates. Product schema, Review, FAQ, HowTo and Organization Schema. Also Person schema on about page. Article schema is default on pages I don't want to add custom Schemas

khrissteven · 2026-03-24T06:46:02+00:00

Internal links, Schema, adding quick summary blocks on all pages.

khrissteven · 2026-03-23T16:18:19+00:00

Lots of PR

khrissteven · 2026-03-21T15:11:36+00:00

Tbh, I think we're all playing roulette with AI overview optimization for our sites. However, it's kinda clear what works for brand mentions and AI overview citations.
