SEO_Forums and Q&A Pages

📔 Short cut definition and meaning

• MC: Main Content

• SC: Sub Content

• PQ: Page Ranking

• E-E-A-T: Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trust

❓ What we need for Forums and Q&A Pages

• The MC includes the question, the answers/responses, and the resulting discussions.

• Rate from the point of view of a user who visits the page rather than a participant involved in the discussion.

• Users who post answers, responses, or comments are often identified only by a username or alias.
• A page can be ‘High’ or ‘Highest’ quality with just usernames or aliases depending on other criteria.

• ‘High’ and ‘Highest’ quality forum/Q&A pages have satisfying conversations that involve many participants.
• If someone puts a great deal of effort or a wealth of Experience or Expertise on the topic, that is good for the PQ with the depth of discussion, the unique insights, or the sharing of experiences.

• Avoid containing information or advice that is harmfully misleading, contradicts well-established expert consensus, encourages harm towards oneself or other individuals/participants, etc.

• Pages on YMYL topics require more attention to Trust and more care in the assessment of E-E-A-T.

• The E-E-A-T of a discussion among users can often be judged by the posts or comments themselves.
• Some topics, ‘Experience’ is the most important dimension of ‘Trust’
• For other topics, assessing Expertise through the posts may be important.
• Some cases, the posters themselves will highlight either their own Experience or Expertise, or other people will comment on it
