Content type	Example
Citable	Journalists and bloggers need a reason to reference your content.
Data driven	Facts, statistics, and trends increase credibility.
Unique and engaging	A fresh perspective gets people talking and linking.
Interactive or visual	Calculators, quizzes, and infographics encourage engagement.
Evergreen	Content that remains relevant year after year offers long-term link growth.
