The Blog Blasting Trap


Most startups treat content like confetti—throw enough pieces in the air and hope something magical happens.

They publish daily (AI, or real, doesn't matter) and then wonder why their traffic flatlines after months of "consistent" effort.

Here's what they're missing:

👏 s 👏 truc 👏ture.

Or better said: proper structure.

The Blog Blasting Trap

I see this pattern everywhere:

Monday: "10 Marketing Tips for SaaS"
Wednesday: "AI Tools Every Founder Needs"
Friday: "Best Productivity Apps in 2025"

Random topics. No connection. No strategy.

Google sees this scattered approach and thinks: "This site doesn't know what it's about."

Your readers think the same thing (if they ever make it to your site).

The real winners in the startup world do it differently.

The Content Scaffold Method

Instead of blog blasting, we build a content scaffold—a strategic framework where every piece has a purpose and supports the whole structure.

Here's how it works:

1. Start with Pillar Pages (Your Foundation)

These are your main topic areas.
Ex. for a CRM SaaS startup, think:
• Main Pains of readers (topics)
• Covering Editorial content, commercial, programmatic SEO, etc.

2. Build Content Clusters (Your Support Beams)

Each pillar gets 10-15 supporting articles that link back to it.

3. Connect Everything (Your Framework)

Internal links create pathways between related content.

Google follows these paths and understands your topical authority.

Real Result from Real Scaffolds

When TweetHunter came to us first in the summer of 2022, they didn't have an SEO strategy but they had plenty of content for us to build the Content Scaffold.

As soon as we did our work, their SEO took off almost inmediately.

Your Next Move

Stop content blasting.

Start content scaffolding.

  • Map your topics
  • Plan your clusters
  • Connect your content

A scaffold builds higher, faster than scattered planks ever could.

Rank & Cash,

SEO is overwhelming. There are too many options: Keyword research Tech stack Technical setup Copywriting, etc. Simplify things. Use the Epicenter as your guide. The Epicenter is your product or service. Imagine you own a pizza joint. You have a line of customers—are you sending them to your "pizza cooking classes"? No, you won't. You're selling pizza. Margarita or Pepperoni—take it or leave it. This is where you start, not on classes about healthy ingredients for pizza. The digital world is...

As many of you know, I'm aiming to get 120MM clicks for my clients, or 100% YoY growth this year. So I've been looking at ways to fix all the Organic Search attribution drama. And what I found is simple for most SaaS: if a startup is not paying close attention, the attribution will made to the payment gateway (stripe or paypal), so you need to configure it properly. If you already did the setup, you should be able to track the conversions. These are the screens I check the most in GA4....
