some of my pillar content struggle to rank but small content ranks high. i think i used too many keyword variations that causes the entity too broad that water down the primary keyword/entity relevance, like you mentioned.
I have 6-7 pages that used to rank until Mid-October. I have a main article and several sub-sections covering multiple longtail keywords. For example, if my main keyword is "keyword research," then I've covered keyword research tools, keyword research for beginners, keyword research for youtube etc. in sub-sections. I think Google implemented recent spam update to get rid of such content. The competitors used the keyword only 2-3 times in entire article. So, I think using too many variations of the keyword is also a problem. You should update content to reduce keyword density and see if it works.

i notice the same after the spam update, i'd wait for some time to see if it bounce back.
 
I have seen this theory before, but I didn’t know how to apply this theory to SEO. tx for your sharing, explanation and case
 
That was really great one!
Congrats on your 200 post!
Best of luck
 
Here is a tool to check entities without any account or subscription:
https://inlinks.net/#nlpThey have some daily limits based on your IP (but we are on a blackhat forum :D). I thought it'll be helpful to some of you who can't afford premium tools or just want to check entities for research purposes.
 
Entities are not long tail keywords to fitted into a broad article.

It is the use of prominent persons, places, organization, established online sites or brands for the niche, experts and paragraphs explaining other abstract, important or famous keywords with reference preferably for the niche !!

Hey buddy, just wanted to get your thoughts on these entities now that it's been a couple years since you made the original post.

Any new developments or strategies for implementing them in our content?

Are you still using the same tools you mentioned throughout the thread here, or is there something new that works better for finding the proper entities and incorporating them into each article?

Anyone else who wants to jump in, feel free to as well.

Thanks.
