Pillar posts are also referred to as flagship content. Pillar posts are comprehensive posts that offer great value to readers as the contents are timeless in nature. They define you as having authority in the niche you blog in.

To be crystal clear about this all bloggers must search and read and I flatly refuse to type what’s already been typed elsewhere before. From me you will get links because that exactly how we learn how to blog ie. by clicking links and reading what we find.
