This guest post is by Neil Patel of KISSmetrics. If you’re a blogger, do you know how to stay on the right side of the law?

Written by Taylor - 39 Comments This discussion we’ve been having about whether bloggers should get paid for their work is fascinating, and I think it’s pretty great that the whole MwP community here has been so level-headed and thoughtful about it.

Pillar content, also called cornerstone content, is a term that has been thrown around in content marketing since at least 2006 , if not earlier. It's not commonly talked about, but it's something many bloggers use, even if they don't quite know it's what they're doing. So what is a pillar post, and how can you create one for yourself?
