Great share, t0mmy.
Any tips please on how you remove content from a site that had a bazillion shallow pages? Just let them 404 over time? Or do you do something else?
Thanks again.

This is so so so so so true that it's actually funny. I've been building a site for the past month just based on long-tails that rank top 10 instantly and I'm in love! Spending 30ish minutes a day just writing for this site is going to pay off tons in the future.
This is a really good idea. Also just generally keeping up-to-speed with your niche is a good idea. Not only does it make writing a lot easier, but it also makes your content 10x better when you're not just talking through your ass and making stuff up.
I don't agree with this one. I don't see any reason why Google would prefer a site for (not)having it. I don't want haters of my political blog to DOX me, but I don't mind if my fortune 500 company's address is visible from WHOIS (Theoretical)
I'd say this is the thing I disagree about most on this list.
My last thread indisputably proves that money =/= quality. (Look at the article my English friend wrote for me. They charge £1/100 words - less if I pay hourly)
Yes, yes, yes. The site that I'm targeting "low hanging fruit" is actually 100% ripped from a massive brand here in England.
I got a list of all the KW's they rank for (Literally automatically generated pages with 50 words content, purely ranking by the DA) and I'm going through them one-by-one. By the end of the year, I should be out-ranking them for every KW they have
Have a watch of this section if you've got a spare 20 minutes or so.
Here
But please make sure they are factual, and not just presumed knowledge (As my thread explains)
Not really true. thinking outside the box and finding amazing methods that no one else has is always a good thing to do in my book. If you're (one of) the only one doing it, there's no reason to stop just because it's "easy" I mean, all I have to do is whip out my card and I can have a Euntrepreneur link in a week or so. Does that mean I should avoid it?
Links back to my point about out-ranking a major store. It's often overlooked and people just bank on traffic from their Landing Page/ blog.
Why not go direct?
Yes, yes, yes. You may find this list useful: "How to Be a Guest Writer on 11 Popular Sites"
That's what I was talking about here.
That's stupid. Once again, refer to my Case Study thread.
I am yet to see proof that 20000 word articles rank any better than 500 words.
As an article reader, I could not see myself reading through 2000 words of content unless it was something AMAZING, which it isn't 9 times out of 10.

Awesome post @t0mmy . One thing I've been doing since I started using Infographics is to Pin them right away on Pinterest. It's the perfect platform to do it on, and ideally someone will follow through to your site, snag the embed code for the infographic and you'll get another link back to your site.

I think most people would agree with @t0mmy on this one. For the most part, I've seen longer articles dominate most top 10 serp results, especially when it comes to informative queries.
Not only that, long articles means that 1) you are hopefully able to keep a user engaged on your page for a longer period of time (assuming it's good content), which we all know is a huge factor in Google's eyes and 2) you're able to use money keywords more frequently along with other long-tail keywords which you might not even know you should target.
Consider this, a 4000 word article will probably rank for more keywords and higher in the long term than a typical 500 word article, no?

Just because more #1 spots have longer content does not mean it is the content length causing it.

4000/250=16 minutes.
Show me one single site where the users spend 16 minutes reading one article.

Maybe the length isn't what's causing it, but I think that the proof is in the pudding, so until it's actually proven otherwise I'd say t0mmy's right.
Anyways, you're right that readers won't spend 16 minutes on one page, but it's important to note that the average reader probably won't have to read the entire article to get what they need; as you're likely aware people like to skim through things, but when there is more content to absorb people will have to spend more time consuming it, even if they're just skimming which obviously results in more time on page.
I'm sure there's a study somewhere where they show that the longer the content, the more time the user spends on the page which we both know is crucial for good seo.
