Paulo, your article highlights a crucial point that many of us, especially bloggers and content creators, tend to overlook: the true essence of writing is to provide value, not just to chase SEO metrics. It's easy to fall into the trap of focusing solely on SEO tactics, trying to rank higher on search engines, and obsessing over keywords, backlinks, and other optimization strategies. However, this often leads to content that may perform well in search algorithms but fails to engage or genuinely benefit readers.

by focusing more on the quality and usefulness of content, we reduce the stress and exhaustion associated with constantly trying to 'game the system.' Writing from a place of authenticity and purpose can be far more rewarding than chasing the latest SEO trends.

This is the kind of insight that encourages us all to rethink our strategies and align more closely with what readers actually want and need.
