Hi all, I'm Steven, CCO at ContentKing 👋 Over the past two years we’ve invested thousands of hours in the ContentKing Academy. Naturally, as an SEO tool provider we do a lot of research. We keep updated on how search engines work, so we can mimic their behaviour as close as possible while monitoring our customers’ websites for SEO issues and changes. While doing so, we document everything we come across and add our own findings, as well as the findings from industry-leading SEOs. The end result? Our academy articles. While I’ve had a hand in almost all of the articles, I catch myself going back to them often to find details on their inner workings because there’s only so much you can keep in your short term memory (I’m not afraid to admit it 😅). We’re always looking to improve as a company. That doesn’t just include our app, it also includes ContentKing Academy. We’re continuously improving and updating existing articles, and writing new ones - because if there’s one thing that we can be sure of it’s that the SEO field changes rapidly. Do you feel anything is missing or needs updating? Do let us know! Our gratitude and ❤️is eternal. And if you catch real gems you may even be rewarded with some swag ;) Cheers, Steven and the rest of the ContentKing team

@stevenvvessum "While I’ve had a hand in almost all of the articles, I catch myself going back to them often to find details on their inner workings because there’s only so much you can keep in your short term memory (I’m not afraid to admit it 😅)." This part is so true. If I'm working on a certain area, I use the academy articles just to check if I did it the correct way. What is the next topic you are going to cover?
Steven van Vessum
@dvkolfschoten The next article that's up is one about SEO fails, which is basically the summer of the submissions from https://www.reddit.com/r/bigseo/... - it's gonna be good one :)

How often do you plan to update the academy?
Steven van Vessum
@di_ry Hi Igor, thanks for your question! We're continuously updating the Academy, expect new articles and updates on a weekly basis. BTW, if you have any requests for article topics that we should write about do let me know :)

Steven van Vessum
@davidiwanow Thanks David, and we're only just getting started :)
David Iwanow
@stevenvvessum so what's next? mobile best practice? xml sitemaps? internal links?
Steven van Vessum
@davidiwanow Literally next on the list is the write-up of SEO fails from the BigSEO community :) XML sitemap we already have: https://www.contentkingapp.com/a.... For mobile we have some bits and pieces (https://www.contentkingapp.com/a... and https://www.contentkingapp.com/a...) but this needs to be expanded.

Sure, I can find a lot of this information elsewhere, but it is really handy to have it in one place, in a clear and easy to understand format. Easy to understand!

Pros:

Well thought out content, easy to understand, nice design and helpful to have a lot of information in one place!

Cons:

None

Steven van Vessum
Thanks Kates, much appreciated! Let us know if there are any important topics missing, we're always looking to extend ContentKing Academy.

As an avid user of ContentKing, I can say its a must have for any company doing content marketing through a blog. The real time monitoring is the killer feature IMO. I highly recommend it!
