I fear that my current content strategy is rubbish

So I’ve just come across the concept of keyword clusters and fear that my current content strategy is rubbish.I’ve written each blog around a certain topic, optimising for a primary keyword and weaving in other keywords that are essentilaly the primary keyword but phrased slighlty differently. Is that the same as doing keyword clusters?Each blog also falls under a piece of pillar content.Some blogs are only optimized for one keyword but that’s because I could literally only find one relevent keyword that fitted into a given topic.Am I missing a trick? Or have I managed to nail the whole keyword clusters thing?

  • Ash Nallawalla: If you can confirm (to yourself) that you are aiming to describe "entities" through your writing, you are on the right track. Groups of related keywords are clusters, but in the enterprise world I have never sat in meetings where we talked about pillars, hubs, spokes etc. We had products to sell and we planned out the pages we thought needed to be written.

    Those labels are popular in magazine articles to help those who create websites that will earn ad revenue for people who have no personal link to the content.

  • Tricia Barnes: It sounds like you are already using keyword clusters. Essentially they are all the slight deviations of your primary keyword. For example, if you identify "Answering questions on Facebook" as your key phrase then a cluster would include that and something like "Answering Facebook questions" and "questions - answering them on Facebook" This is an overly simplified example - but you get the idea!
