Most people have this misconception that topical authority is just interlinking content. But in reality, topical authority shows your expertise on the topic through content quality, content's trustworthiness, author's expertise on the topic, and author's experience in the niche. So, adding author bylines and citing credible sources is as important as interlinking content. It's harder to convince AI tools if you build a fake author persona to manipulate EEAT scores.
