How to Turn Products + Blog Posts into a Ranking Network
1️⃣ The Goal (What Google Needs to See)
Google does not rank individual pages in isolation anymore.
It ranks topic authority networks.
Your goal is to make Google clearly understand:
“Studio1Live is an authority on self-hosted tools, automation, AI workflows, content systems, and ownership-based software.”
We do that with intentional internal linking.
2️⃣ Your Core Pillar Pages (DO NOT OVERLINK THESE)
These are your authority anchors.
Each one should be linked TO more than it links out.
🧱 Pillar Pages (Top Level)
These pages define your ecosystem:
- Python Runner (Local)
- Python Runner Web Template
- AI Web Build Kit
- JD Sales GEN
- Tag Extractor / LinkStorm
- Credit Repair Kit Templates
Think of these as planets — everything else orbits them.
3️⃣ The Hub-and-Spoke Model (This Is Key)
How it works:
- Pillar post = HUB
- Supporting content = SPOKES
Each pillar should:
- link to 2–4 other pillar posts
- receive links from every relevant supporting post
Example (Python Runner Hub)
Python Runner post should link to:
- Python Runner Web Template
- AI Web Build Kit
- JD Sales GEN
- Credit Repair Kit Templates (automation use case)
And all of those should link back to Python Runner where relevant.
This creates reinforced topical authority.

5️⃣ Anchor Text Rules (VERY IMPORTANT)
❌ Do NOT do this:
“Click here”
“This tool”
“Learn more”
✅ DO this instead:
- “Python Runner local automation tool”
- “self-hosted Python Runner Web Template”
- “AI Web Build Kit website generator”
- “LinkStorm tag extractor”
- “Credit Repair Kit Templates”
Rule:
👉 Use partial-match anchors, not exact-match every time.
Example rotation:
- “Python Runner”
- “Python Runner automation tool”
- “self-hosted Python runner”
This avoids over-optimization penalties.
6️⃣ Category & Tag Strategy (WordPress)
Recommended Categories
Create ONLY these (keep it clean):
- Automation
- AI Tools
- Web Templates
- Sales Systems
- SEO & Content
- Credit & Finance
Each post should be in ONE category only.
Tag Strategy (Use Sparingly)
Use 5–8 tags max per post.
Example tags:
- python automation
- self-hosted tools
- ai workflows
- document generation
- seo tools
- offline software
Tags help discovery — categories help authority.
7️⃣ Homepage & Sidebar Linking (Silent Power)
Homepage (page-home.php)
You already did this correctly by:
- Featuring latest posts
- Featuring tools
- Linking to
/templates/
This tells Google:
“These pages matter.”
Sidebar / Footer (If Used)
Always include:
- Templates
- Blog
- Downloads
- Picks
These sitewide links reinforce importance.
8️⃣ EDD Product Pages (Hidden SEO Gold)
Your EDD product pages should:
- link to their blog post
- receive a link FROM the blog post
Example:
- Blog post → “Download Python Runner”
- EDD page → “Read how Python Runner works”
This creates commercial + informational relevance, which Google loves.
9️⃣ Content Expansion Plan (Next 30 Posts)
After pillars, add supporting posts like:
- “Why Self-Hosted Tools Beat SaaS”
- “Offline AI Tools for Privacy”
- “How to Generate PDFs with Python”
- “How to Structure SEO Content Before Writing”
- “Why Document Ownership Matters”
Each of these links back to 2–3 pillar posts.
🔟 What This Strategy Achieves
If followed consistently, Google will see:
✔ Clear topical clusters
✔ Strong internal authority flow
✔ Low bounce (people click internally)
✔ Long session duration
✔ High relevance signals
This is how small networks outrank big SaaS sites.
Final Rule (Remember This)
Every new post must answer two questions:
- What pillar does this support?
- Which other pillar should it link to?
If you follow that rule, your rankings will compound.
