Amit Raj recommends creating content that aligns with your audience's needs rather than just targeting competitors' keywords or relying on vanity metrics like search volume or a keyword difficulty score.

Thank you for publishing this report @lidia-infante.com. I always so appreciate it. Happy to be writing for @semrushofficial.bsky.social via @searchengineland.bsky.social and glad to see some positive numbers in the #LocalSEO category.
I've analyzed 2,433 SEO articles from 2024. The gender gap is real.

📊 36% of articles were written by women
👩‍💻 Women make up 48% of the author pool (up from 31% in 2021)
🏆 Semrush was the most inclusive
😬 Men still dominate technical SEO

🚨:: Bad Evolution of Content Marketing ::🚨

There's multiple issues here ...

Measuring by Traffic!
If you've got MQLs/SQLs etc. - then you're not likely an MFA (made for ad/affil revenue) ... so Traffic should not be a main metric, let alone a KPI!

Such a simple file that can have a BIG impact (and sometimes NOT in a good way). :) Great that Google started the robots refresher series. Here's the first post in the series.

My 2 cents: *Always* test heavily before rolling out big robots.txt changes. Nip problems in the bud...
