The cornerstone content is the most important content hosted on your blog or website. It is the content that has been appreciated by your visitors and shared by them on different platforms.

This content works for your website to put it in the leading search result pages.

ReadWrite contributor Shishir Kathurwar has shared a useful article on improving automatic-SEO with the help of cornerstone content.

Kathurwar says, “When anyone hears the term cornerstone content, the first thing that comes to their mind is Yoast SEO’s blog. Well, that is exactly what it is, but there is more to it. Cornerstone content is your flagship content, that talks in detail about a particular subject. Example if I want to create a cornerstone content about digital marketing I will write about SEO, SMM, Social, Email, Paid, Affiliates, Referrals, Content Marketing, and more. For instance, Neil Patel has written a blog on “Topic” which is around 10k words. If I want to beat his post, I would need to write a post that is more than his, along with supporting blogs that link to my cornerstone content. To beat his post I need to write more than him, and I need to have supporting blogs that link to my cornerstone content. Below is the structure of a cornerstone content if I want to rank for Digital Marketing. You can also refer to my blog on how to cornerstone content for SEO”.
