A. Introduction
You've attracted a flood of traffic with TOFU content, but are those visitors staying? At the MOFU (Middle of Funnel) or Consideration Stage, readers don't want general information; they are comparing solutions and demanding depth and evidence from an Authority.
This post is the blueprint for creating the core of your SEO Topic Cluster. We will show you how to build the long-form, instructional content that establishes your brand as an Expert and keeps visitors engaged on your site for longer—directly maximizing your revenue opportunity.

B. Why Pillar Content is the Core of MOFU
Pillar Content serves three main roles:
Depth and Loyalty: The longer and more instructional your content, the more readers rely on you, building loyalty and trust.
Consolidating the Cluster: The Pillar Post is the hub of your Topic Cluster. It links all your TOFU and BOFU posts, establishing your domain as a deep expert to Google on the subject.
AdSense Valuation: MOFU content increases Page Views Per Session and Time on Page, significantly boosting the AdSense revenue per visitor.
C. Steps to Create an Effective Pillar Post Structure
When creating a Pillar Post, ensure you cover a Broad Topic rather than a single specific keyword.
Topic Selection: Choose a broad problem or subject raised by your TOFU posts (e.g., "Building an SEO Content Funnel").
Content Type: It must be a comprehensive guide or a case study—not a typical blog post.
Architecture: Break your Pillar Post into smaller, focused sections (e.g., TOFU Strategy, MOFU Strategy, BOFU Strategy). Each section should be comprehensive enough to be a cluster post title itself.
Strong Internal Linking: Integrate links to all your Cluster Posts within the relevant sections of the Pillar Post.
D. Strategies to Increase Time on Page
Higher Time on Page means higher AdSense revenue. To achieve it:
Readability: Avoid large blocks of text. Use bullet points, subheadings, and tables.
Media Use: Add relevant images, charts, or infographics.
Video Embeds: If possible, embed a relevant YouTube video related to your subject.
E. Conclusion
Pillar Content is a necessary investment for your blog's success. It doesn't just attract traffic; it converts that traffic into loyal readers who view you as an expert. The stronger the center of your content funnel, the more robust your entire traffic architecture becomes, ensuring consistent and sustainable revenue.
