Cornerstone content is the central content of your website, which you want to convey to readers a content related to a certain issue. Let’s say you have a list of 10 WordPress tutorials you must have a focus on WordPress tutorials. This will help your focus articles rank higher on search engines because they know which articles to show for that keyword. But how do you mark up for search engines what is foundational content? Take a look at this article.
What will the Cornerstone content look like?
Search for articles with general keyword content and link them together
Going back to Wikipedia’s foundational article on “water”, do a search in Wikipedia about “heavy water” and you’ll notice a few things: In the post “Water” the keyword “Water” is not linked anywhere. But it contains a link from “Heavy Water” to the post Heavy Water. Now on the “Heavy Water” lesson you will also see that the word “Heavy Water” is not linked anywhere, instead there is the word “Water” linked to the Water card. If you don’t believe it, you can check out the article “Super Heavy Water” of Wikipedia. They all have a perfect connection. I call it tight cohesion in Internal Link. Now do a little test.- Go to google and search like this “site:en.wikipedia.org country” you will see that the top is the country article
- Search similar to the word “heavy water” you will also get the same results.
