Hi, Topical relevance gets a lot of attention in pbn discussions, but I think there is another layer that gets overlooked " Entity architecture".
A domain can be highly relevant to a niche without having much semantic depth. What matters is how consistently the core subject, related entities, terminology, and supporting topics are established throughout the site.
That creates a much stronger topical identity than simply publishing relevant articles around the same keyword set.
I have been seeing some interesting differences between domains built around entity relationships and domains built purely around topical relevance.
Simple example: Take a core entity like coffee. A well structured site would not just publish articles about “best coffee.” It could naturally build around beans, roasting, brewing methods, grinders, origins, processing methods, and equipment where each topic supports and adds context to the others.
Anyone else tested this?
