Yeah You are right about that and I have seen people using Reddit and Quora for this as well
Good idea!
Well, turning comments into posts works great, they’re real user questions, so the content matches search intent perfectly
So when someone submitted comment, instead of publishing it as comment, you posted it as article ?
that is what i have found as well. in most cases, comments are indicative of the querries people do not search for on their own. if there are many instances of similar queries being asked then this is an excellent reason for making them into their own posts.
Yes comments deviate the traffic and bring audience too , Its effective for SEO.
yesh i have become increasingly aware of comments bcz of this exact reason. a brief question asked by one person might uncover an entire subject that was not explored in the original article. i normally find a question that gets reppeated more than once and develop a full post out of it rather than adding a paraggraph to the old post.
this is something i have noticed as well. comments are essentially market research for free bcz everyone will tell u precisely what conffuses them or what they need to know next. often one comment can result in a whole article or even a couple of blog posts in addition to an FAQ page.
commenting is an underrated form of academic research, imo. new idea for my research come to me through questioning, rather than through keyword searche.
Yeah, comments are almost like free intent research. I would take the recurring questons first, and those that have search intent would become posts/FAQs.
Imv, comments are basically free audience research. I document the repeated queries nd translate only those that have search value into posts/FAQs.
Agree 100%. I have found more topics through commnts than by using any keyword tool as you know exactly what gap needs to be filled. These may also serve well in writing a FAQ section.
