The best video on the topic "Is more content better?" that I have seen to date and more importantly "Lily Ray" does an excellent job of asking key questions that are often asked in SEO forums. "Martin Splitt" is direct and to the point and seems very comfortable answering Lily's questions. Bravo!

I feel bad for Lily, she wants to find answers for us, but pretty much what Martin from Google is saying is "all depends" "maybe" "it could be considered duplicate content or it could not" "it all depends" basically it depends on your website and Google's super-duper algorithm that will make that determination. ;-) Many variables are included. I guess it is good in the sense that we just have to focus on answering real questions and providing valuable information and not trying too hard to rank high by filling up our content with tricks & keywords. Ok. Can work with that. Thank you Lily for trying to get some real answers for us all. ;-)

"Try to understand what is it that the user needs". So every time I search for a recipe, what I really need, according to the top search results, is to read about the chef's grandma's childhood. Gotcha.

Great video. Google serves up pages. If those pages are alone in a book of otherwise disrelated pages, no bueno. Enough pages relevant to a subject is important. A “pillar post” or whatever term you give it, surrounded by supportive ontopic subpages is important. 1 article doesn’t make an authority. And an authoritative, expert, and trustworthy person/site in any industry is prolific. How long is a book? How many chapters does it have? How many books are there on any given subject?

Never thought I'd hear anyone from Google say that having a blog is not necessarily helpful. @3:00 Given the fact that the most significant number of Google searches are being being routed to various blog posts, this has to be the most outrageous statement anyone from Google could possibly make. If more content isn't better then why make a video called "Is more content better? SEO Mythbusting "? (smh) Obviously, websites and KZfaq Channels grow like crazy, when they create new and relevant content. Fire the Amish My Little Pony Fan, please. xD

Wow, I actually disagree on the point of not writing for the sake of writing. In my own experience, updating my blogs often and frequently really helps SERP rankings. When I don't blog as frequently, I get less new visitors. It's just a fact. However, recently, or in the last couple of years, high quality of the new content has been more important than earlier. Still frequency matters.

We would say that creating content will only add value to your site and SEO if it is useful for the user. Everything you produce should help to inform the user. So in response to the title of the show, more content will only be better if everything published is of value to the reader. As stated, there is no point in creating content just to update your blog every week if you are offering nothing new to the conversation.

What if you have various articles each covering a different product but within each theres the same paragraph on how they’re not vegan and their benefits (which are the same), will that count as duplicate content? Different products, descriptions, images but have the same benefits and vegan rules as the others.

Regarding duplicate content, what about e-commerce websites that have shared product catalogs with the same descriptions and photos that appear on more than 100 websites selling the same products?

No-doubt a great piece of information provided in this video. But, I always read that Content is king and long-form content is always better than short-form since voice search is taking over so the percentage of getting visible on voice search queries, long-form content is perfect. But now in this video concept is a little different. John Muller words and these video series have contradicted I think so. My mind always gets double minded after watching these series.

Long form content is more likely to answer a question thoroughly .. but I don’t believe it’s inherently “better”. In fact - if both cover the topic equally - it may be worse.
