I'm fairly new to the topic clusters method, so please bear with me.

Let's say I wanted to create an affiliate blog around "dog accessories." Since there's already tough competition out there, I want to focus and rank for on something specific like "dog bathrobes."

Should my topic cluster map be something like this:

Best Dog Bathrobes 2023 (pillar page)
- Dog Accessories: The Ultimate Guide (sub-topic)
- Types of Dogs and Their Weight Class (sub-topic)
- How to Properly Wash Your Dog (sub-topic)
- etc., etc.

Or should it be something like this:

Dog Accessories: The Ultimate Guide (pillar page)
- Types of Dogs and Their Weight Class (sub-topic)
- How to Properly Wash Your Dog (sub-topic)
- Best Dog Bathrobes 2023 (sub-topic)
- etc., etc.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

either option will work fine, but I wouldn't include "Types of Dogs and Their Weight Class" as a supporting article for this particular silo because it's the one that makes the least sense of all of those articles.

I would, instead, use it as a pillar / supporting article in another silo that's more relevant to it
