is it just me, or is the search engine prioritizing brand authority over niche relevance lately? **it feels like the era of easy ranking via low-competition clusters is ~~completely~~ dead

the clusters aren't dead, but they definitely require more topical depth than before. i've been pivoting my strategy to focus on building out massive internal linking webs around those low-comp terms instead of just one-off posts. if you don't link them back to a core pillar page, google just treats them as orphaned content with zero authority.

the low-competition clusters still work, but you cant just rely on thin content anymore. are you seeing this drop across your entire site or just specific subfolders?
