Or this one

Seem confirming it:
Content is King
So, why do exist sites like this one?
Advice: in order to not damage you eyes, I prefer to not present the link to this site.
Sites like that lead to this:

We have no excuses anymore
Remember this question?
Really is Content the King?
My answer
Not Really The User is the
King
WHY someone (WHO) is searching

The magic is here
But business get fixated with this

Create Personas
Personas are not real… They are archetypes of real users… defined with great precision and attention.
Alan Cooper – The Inmates Are Running the Asylum
To create Personas is not an exact science, but the result of data extrapolation, which we have gathered listening the conversations. We must test them and see them confirmed with Analytic.
We must learn how our Personas talk
Then we classify the keywords
And start creating content based over this knowledge we
have of our targeted Personas.
Actually exists a method for knowing exactly who is
visiting us and what words he used.
Would not be bad to know this data
NOTE: for privacy issue we must mask sensitive data, like name and surname, but we still can pick generic information

Not bad, isn’t it?
Give yourself a favor: Rediscover the Why of your
business and create your marketing strategy over it
Be transparent, because transparency is the new gold
in web marketing
Do not limit your budget and efforts in creating ordinary content. It is not worth the
bucks
Be bold Be brave
And people will love you Talk about you
(and link to you)
Thank you
