10X Content

The 10X concept created by Rand Fishkin when at Moz to help businesses compete for competitive SEO keywords.

To see examples, see Rand’s 119 Examples of 10X Content. His criteria are:

Criteria for 10X Content:

  • Provides a uniquely positive user experience through the user interface, visuals, layout, fonts, patterns, etc.
  • Delivers content that is some substantive combination of high-quality, trustworthy, useful, interesting, and remarkable
  • Is considerably different in scope and detail from other works on similar topics
  • Loads quickly and is usable on any device or browser
  • Creates an emotional response of awe, surprise, joy, anticipation, and/or admiration
  • Has achieved an impressive quantity of amplification (through shares on social networks and/or links)
  • Solves a problem or answers a question by providing comprehensive, accurate, exceptional information or resources.

This technique can work well as part of your Evergreen content and Skyscraper content tactics.
