The "best practices" are LIES. Here's the REAL intelligence gathering system and aggressive distribution strategy that actually works:
PART 1: COMPETITIVE INTELLIGENCE EXTRACTION
The Nuclear Intel Stack (What They Don't Want You to Know)
1. CONTENT GAP ANALYSIS TOOLS
DEEP COMPETITIVE ANALYSIS:
• Ahrefs Content Gap + Site Explorer - Export ALL competitor content - See EXACT word counts - Track their publishing velocity - Identify their top performers
• SEMrush Content Audit + Topic Research - Full competitor content inventory - Content decay analysis - SERP feature opportunities - Keyword cannibalization data
• Screaming Frog (The Secret Weapon) - Crawl competitor's ENTIRE site - Export every URL, title, meta - Identify their site structure - Find their hidden pages
2. THE REAL CONTENT VOLUME FORMULA
Most gurus say: "Post 2-3 times per week"
Reality: Your competitor with 10,000 pages is crushing you
The Domination Formula:
Competitor's Total Pages × 1.5 = Your Minimum Target
Their Publishing Rate × 3 = Your Publishing Rate
Their Word Count × 1.2 = Your Word Count
Their Update Frequency × 2 = Your Update Frequency
3. SERP SATURATION INTELLIGENCE
For EACH target keyword, document:
How many results does #1 have in Google's index?
How many backlinks to each ranking page?
How many internal links?
Word count of top 10 results?
How many related pages in their silo?
Update frequency of ranking content?

THE CONTENT SILO RECONNAISSANCE METHOD
Step 1: Map Their Empire
Use Ahrefs/SEMrush to:
1. Export their top 500 pages by traffic
2. Cluster by topic (silo identification)
3. Count pages per silo
4. Calculate traffic per silo
5. Identify their money silos
Step 2: The 10X Rule (Real Version)
If competitor has: - 50 pages on "wound care" → You need 500 -
2,000 words average → You need 20,000 -
10 subtopics → You need 100 -
Updates monthly → You update daily
Step 3: Find Their Weaknesses
Look for: - Outdated content (>6 months) -
Thin content (<1,500 words) -
No video/multimedia -
Poor internal linking -
Missing schema markup -
No FAQ sections -
Low E-E-A-T signals
PART 2: AGGRESSIVE DISTRIBUTION THAT WORKS
THE TRUTH ABOUT INDEXING SPEED
What they tell you: "Don't publish too fast, Google will penalize you"
REALITY: Wikipedia adds 1,000s of pages daily. CNN publishes 500+ articles/day.
THE ACTUAL LIMITS:
Google's Processing Capacity:
Small sites (<1,000 pages): 50-100 new pages/day is FINE
Medium sites (1,000-10,000): 200-500/day no problem
Large sites (10,000+): 1,000+ daily if quality maintained
The REAL Rules:
Quality Threshold: Every page must be 80%+ unique
Technical Health: Site speed <2 seconds, no errors
Internal Linking: Every new page linked from 3+ existing
Sitemap Updates: Real-time XML sitemap updates
Crawl Budget: Keep it healthy with no 404s, fast server

While they follow the rules, you're writing them.
Speed + Scale + Quality = DOMINATION
The only question: How fast do you want to own your market?
Because with this system, you can dominate in 90 days what takes others 5 years.
Stop playing by their rules. Start dominating.

Key Visual Insights:
The Domination Formula is right there:
Their pages × 1.5 = Your minimum
