been thinking about this all morning. looking at candidate page selection is fine but it's basically useless without tracking how authority actually moves the needle. we're already doing way too much with standard ranking metrics and not enough of the actual stack layers. i don't see how anyone tracks
authority depth without making their dashboard a total mess. plus, the whole idea of monitoring page selection feels like
just more work for no real reward. it's all just guesswork until we actually get some decent tools for this. what are you guys using to track candidate pages right now?
