Merged 6 thin posts into 1 pillar. Combined traffic 3x'd. Here's the math nobody tells you.

Six posts, each 300-500 words, each ranking position 20-30 for tiny terms. Each one a weak signal.

Merged into one 1,400-word pillar with the six topics as sections. 301'd all six into it.

— Combined link equity pooled into one URL
— One strong page beat six weak ones
— Hit page one for the head term none of the six could touch alone

Six mediocre pages don't add up to authority. They divide it. Find your thin cluster on one topic and fuse it. The math is brutal in your favor.
