Turning Homepage into an Article [More Backlinks + More Authority]

[harrywilliams]

I wonder what if I turn my homepage into an article that targets my main keyword.
For example, if the blog is about beagles, turning the homepage into a "Beagle Dog Breed Information" type article, what would happen?

In that way, all the homepage and the article backlinks are directed to the same page.
I've seen the technique in some blogs. Is there any effectiveness?

We do it on all our websites. For a blog it's often a good choice, but it also depends on your ways of monetization

this was the model 5 years ago when everyone was doing bestxforx.com domains and using the main page for the main keyword. I was never a fan of it tbh. For me it limits the scope of my site, I can't branch into related niches.

If you’re going to do something like that, consider making the main article your keyword topic.

So, target multiple keywords within the niche and have the article be 3k+ words.

Otherwise, you’re limiting your homepage to one single keyword, when you could be targeting the entire topic.
