		<description>I totally agree that intending to write a pillar post article when you're starting out is difficult; I think the motivation has to be something other than just the desire to generate traffic.  But I've seen a handful of new bloggers who have started out with the intention of sharing what they know about particular topics, and because they've provided solid advice or information or interesting perspectives, they've ended up accruing really large audiences in a short amount of time.  I think it's really your community that defines what your pillar articles are though in the end.</description>

		<description>Aha, quite right, it's the outcomes that really define a pillar article, not the content itself. However as you state and I repeat, there are certainly specific characteristics that are more likely to create a pillar article.

Imagine if every article you wrote had pillar outcomes? Your traffic would be huge!

Thanks for the mention!</description>
