Deep dives

The Evolution of Content Marketing

Content marketing is still very much alive, but its dynamics have shifted significantly, especially regarding the effectiveness of 10x content. Originally, creating exceptional content was a reliable strategy for improving search rankings, but recent insights suggest that high domain authority sites can outperform even the best content. User engagement metrics may not always reflect true quality, as many top-ranking articles do not necessarily represent the most valuable information available. Therefore, it's important to focus not only on producing outstanding content but also to understand the broader landscape of how content is ranked and found via search engines.
