How To Use Statistics Content To Attract High Quality Backlinks
Imagine you wake up at 8 a.m. bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, slurp down your first caffeine boost for the day, and sit down to do some cold but needed backlink outreach.
You’ve tried desperately for months, like a 5th-grade school girl crushing hard, to catch the attention of numerous link-worthy websites – only to get gut-wrenchingly turned down.
Ugh.
It’s too much effort for little return.
You’re at your wit’s end.
You’ve even forked over chunks of change for guest posts. And that hasn’t worked out so well either.
You know that the most organic way to scale is to create quality links, but how do you gain backlinks naturally?
Here’s my hot take: Use statistics content to generate natural backlinks by offering a great resource page for content creators.
This simple tactic sets you up for success and saves you plenty of time in the long run.
Let’s now take a look at how this works.
Why Should I Create Statistics Content As A Link Building Tactic?
As you already know, getting backlinks from cold email outreach can feel like finding a needle in a haystack.
Your email goes into their spam. They read it but don’t respond or respond months later and then ghost you.
Either way, it’s time-consuming and frustrating.
To make things even trickier, guest posts can eat up a lot of your marketing budget.
Content creation takes multiple people (writer, editor, designer, strategist) and time to truly be done well.
You want to make sure all content you create counts.
By focusing on educating your audience and crafting “less-salesy” content, you’ll set yourself up for success by attracting your ideal audience and seamlessly building links.
In return, when you cultivate more organic backlinks, your Domain Authority increases – slingshotting you toward page one of Google (hello, more sales!)
Quick note for the naysayers: As an SEO expert, I believe a metric like Domain Authority (though not Google confirmed) directly impacts SEO success.
Now back to the nitty-gritty: Getting natural backlinks with statistics content.
It Positions Your Brand As A Thought Leader
Mindfully crafting content with valid statistics for your consumer base, product, or industry is a simple way to position your brand as a thought leader.
When done correctly, others will look to you to provide solid, trustworthy data, creating sharing opportunities.
Now, at this point, I’d like to emphasize that gathering data doesn’t mean chewing up different stats from around the internet and spewing them back out again.
The data you choose to share should be as original as possible and directly relate to what you do as a business.
Although these types of posts can be more challenging to create since you’ll need to morph into your detective data-gathering mode, they are incredible assets for improving your website and your brand’s authoritativeness.
Content Creators Are Already Looking For It
Statistics are often used as a primary source of information, meaning they’re sought by content creators (journalists, marketers, bloggers, data analysts, market researchers, etc.) all the time.
With the rise of fake news, the responsibility to share trustworthy content is greater than ever, specifically for those with a larger following.
For this reason, creators are serious about sharing statistics that are accurate and transparent.
That’s why content creators actively seek brands like yours to help provide important statistics to back up their own content.
Content creators in your industry will likely refer to your content as their credible source.
It Gets Shared More Often
Simply put, people like numbers.
They want something tangible to grasp because data can back up ideas.
That is why content with statistics gets shared much more on both social media and blog platforms.
In fact, this works so well that it’s the center of a typical data-driven PR strategy.
Either way, it’ll help your social presence and backlink situation.
Talk about a win-win!
You Can Rank For It
Think about the creators in your industry.
What would they type into a search engine to find statistics?
If you’re in the beauty industry, maybe, “beauty statistics 2022.”
If you’re in the tech industry, possibly, “new tech statistics May 2022.”
Do you catch my drift?
Once you’ve put yourself in a creator’s shoes, you can use a keyword that’ll generate backlinks and rank organically.
And the more you rank, the more backlinks you’ll generate because you’ll get more clicks from the SERPs, meaning more organic traffic.
It should always be your main goal to create topics with keywords that have search volume.
In essence, you create an automated backlink accumulation machine (as long as those statistics stay timely and relevant).
Now you’re at the edge of your seat, wondering, “How can I take action on this?”
Buckle in. Here we go!
How To Build Natural Backlinks Using Statistics Content
For those who’d like a quick visual summary of the next section, take a look below:
Learn What Your Audience Is Looking For
It all starts with your people because there wouldn’t be a need to create content in the first place without them.
What types of content is your audience seeking?
What statistics would help them achieve their goals?
How can you help your audience inform their audience?
Look at this example:
If a newspaper had an audience of American sports fans, they might be interested in the number of gold medals the U.S. has received over the years in the Olympics.
This type of statistic may interest journalists writing about their forecast of the upcoming Olympics winners based on past results.
Think of this scenario like this: If you have reliable data related to sports, then your content might be used as the next source in CNN Sports.
Here’s another scenario: Startups may consider cities with the most entrepreneurs and how this number has grown over the years.
This data could help them decide where to relocate for the most optimal chance for success.
Sounds like a topic with credible research that might show up in a magazine like Entrepreneur.com, right?
Now you’ve got the idea!
Quick tip: To dive deeper into your audience’s interests, you can use a tool like BuzzSumo for the initial content research.
Become Your Own Authoritative Source
Instead of digging for data from others, make your own!
That’s how you become known for something as a brand. And if you’re worried you don’t have a huge amount of data, your content just needs to have a big enough sample to be relevant.
So remember, quality over quantity!
To determine how you can become your own source, ask yourself the following questions:
- What are we true experts on and can present credible data about?
- What do we have enough data on to present some findings based on that data?
- How can we create unique data that our audience finds useful?
- Where is there an information gap we can fill by providing relevant data?
- How does this data help what we stand for as a brand, especially our values, mission, and purpose?
When considering these factors, it becomes easier to hone in on what you’re truly an authority on and balance that with what your audience finds interesting.
By the way, another convenient factor in being your own authority is eliminating the dreaded citation loop.
A lot of times, sources are cited with nobody knowing where they originated, or when you do find the original source, you realize it’s data from decades ago.
If you happen to find a scenario like that in your industry, it might just be an information gap you can become a new authority on!
Compile Your Own Data
Now that you understand why being your own authority is the best route start to piece together your own statistics.
Depending on the type of data you need, you can create pools from channels like your website, social media, and customer data.
A few quick ways to gather data include:
- LinkedIn polls.
- Your own business analytics data.
- Qualitative or quantitative data about customers (if you’re allowed to share it).
- Market surveys.
- Expert interviews.
- Market research.
Quick tip: if you’re struggling to get a large enough sample, you can actually use a tool like SurveyMonkey to pay for survey responses from specific demographics.
This method saves a huge amount of time and is more objective than constantly asking your LinkedIn network to fill out a survey.
Focus On Data Presentation
Numbers jumbled up on a screen are confusing.
Your data needs to be accurate and purposeful, but it should also be visually appealing.
For instance, you can create an infographic that highlights the information in a simple manner.
Use branded colors, vivid designs, and appropriate UX to keep your audience’s attention.
Weaving in the data to a visual story is a sure-fire way to keep them scrolling and is also the perfect way to repurpose information across multiple channels.
Reach Out To Relevant Experts
Ever wondered why brands create content like “expert roundups?”
This is the reason: Brands compile data from credible subject matter experts and publish it on an owned channel like their website, then those experts want that exposure as well, so they share it, which in turn brings in more backlinks.
This might take some extra organizing, but creating your own data using niche experts is a great way for you and them to gain exposure.
Everybody’s happy!
Consider A Paid Boost
When you’re in the beginning stages and those organic rankings just aren’t there yet, consider a paid boost with Google Ads.
This way, you’ll boost your views, and if you’ve created content with keywords that have search volume, you can still get those backlinks.
Craft Link-Worthy Statistics Content To Generate Natural Backlinks
Link acquisition is not only the result of active outreach and content partnerships but a reflection of the quality and authoritativeness of your content.
And, as you may have guessed, in any good SEO strategy – link building and content creation should go together like Spongebob and Patrick.
To create “linkbait” content, it’s crucial to create content focused on the people actually creating the link.
In other words, to naturally generate backlinks with any piece of content, you should keep in mind content creators as your primary focus.
Now that you’re all in on crafting statistics content may the force be with you to generate those coveted natural backlinks!

How To Use ChatGPT For Keyword Research
Anyone not using ChatGPT for keyword research is missing a trick.
You can save time and understand an entire topic in seconds instead of hours.
In this article, I outline my most effective ChatGPT prompts for keyword research and teach you how I put them together so that you, too, can take, edit, and enhance them even further.
But before we jump into the prompts, I want to emphasize that you shouldn’t replace keyword research tools or disregard traditional keyword research methods.
ChatGPT can make mistakes. It can even create new keywords if you give it the right prompt. For example, I asked it to provide me with a unique keyword for the topic “SEO” that had never been searched before.
“Interstellar Internet SEO: Optimizing content for the theoretical concept of an interstellar internet, considering the challenges of space-time and interplanetary communication delays.”
Although I want to jump into my LinkedIn profile and update my title to “Interstellar Internet SEO Consultant,” unfortunately, no one has searched that (and they probably never will)!
You must not blindly rely on the data you get back from ChatGPT.
What you can rely on ChatGPT for is the topic ideation stage of keyword research and inspiration.
ChatGPT is a large language model trained with massive amounts of data to accurately predict what word will come next in a sentence. However, it does not know how to do keyword research yet.
Instead, think of ChatGPT as having an expert on any topic armed with the information if you ask it the right question.
In this guide, that is exactly what I aim to teach you how to do – the most essential prompts you need to know when performing topical keyword research.
Best ChatGPT Keyword Research Prompts
The following ChatGPT keyword research prompts can be used on any niche, even a topic to which you are brand new.
For this demonstration, let’s use the topic of “SEO” to demonstrate these prompts.
Generating Keyword Ideas Based On A Topic
What Are The {X} Most Popular Sub-topics Related To {Topic}?
The first prompt is to give you an idea of the niche.
As shown above, ChatGPT did a great job understanding and breaking down SEO into three pillars: on-page, off-page & technical.
The key to the following prompt is to take one of the topics ChatGPT has given and query the sub-topics.
What Are The {X} Most Popular Sub-topics Related To {Sub-topic}?
For this example, let’s query, “What are the most popular sub-topics related to keyword research?”
Having done keyword research for over 10 years, I would expect it to output information related to keyword research metrics, the types of keywords, and intent.
Let’s see.
Again, right on the money.
To get the keywords you want without having ChatGPT describe each answer, use the prompt “list without description.”
Here is an example of that.
List Without Description The Top {X} Most Popular Keywords For The Topic Of {X}
You can even branch these keywords out further into their long-tail.
Example prompt:
List Without Description The Top {X} Most Popular Long-tail Keywords For The Topic “{X}”
List Without Description The Top Semantically Related Keywords And Entities For The Topic {X}
You can even ask ChatGPT what any topic’s semantically related keywords and entities are!
Tip: The Onion Method Of Prompting ChatGPT
When you are happy with a series of prompts, add them all to one prompt. For example, so far in this article, we have asked ChatGPT the following:
- What are the four most popular sub-topics related to SEO?
- What are the four most popular sub-topics related to keyword research
- List without description the top five most popular keywords for “keyword intent”?
- List without description the top five most popular long-tail keywords for the topic “keyword intent types”?
- List without description the top semantically related keywords and entities for the topic “types of keyword intent in SEO.”
Combine all five into one prompt by telling ChatGPT to perform a series of steps. Example:
“Perform the following steps in a consecutive order Step 1, Step 2, Step 3, Step 4, and Step 5”
Example:
“Perform the following steps in a consecutive order Step 1, Step 2, Step 3, Step 4 and Step 5. Step 1 – Generate an answer for the 3 most popular sub-topics related to {Topic}?. Step 2 – Generate 3 of the most popular sub-topics related to each answer. Step 3 – Take those answers and list without description their top 3 most popular keywords. Step 4 – For the answers given of their most popular keywords, provide 3 long-tail keywords. Step 5 – for each long-tail keyword offered in the response, a list without descriptions 3 of their top semantically related keywords and entities.”
Generating Keyword Ideas Based On A Question
Taking the steps approach from above, we can get ChatGPT to help streamline getting keyword ideas based on a question. For example, let’s ask, “What is SEO?”
“Perform the following steps in a consecutive order Step 1, Step 2, Step 3, and Step 4. Step 1 Generate 10 questions about “{Question}”?. Step 2 – Generate 5 more questions about “{Question}” that do not repeat the above. Step 3 – Generate 5 more questions about “{Question}” that do not repeat the above. Step 4 – Based on the above Steps 1,2,3 suggest a final list of questions avoiding duplicates or semantically similar questions.”
Generating Keyword Ideas Using ChatGPT Based On The Alphabet Soup Method
One of my favorite methods, manually, without even using a keyword research tool, is to generate keyword research ideas from Google autocomplete, going from A to Z.
You can also do this using ChatGPT.
Example prompt:
“give me popular keywords that includes the keyword “SEO”, and the next letter of the word starts with a”
Tip: Using the onion prompting method above, we can combine all this in one prompt.
“Give me five popular keywords that include “SEO” in the word, and the following letter starts with a. Once the answer has been done, move on to giving five more popular keywords that include “SEO” for each letter of the alphabet b to z.”
Generating Keyword Ideas Based On User Personas
When it comes to keyword research, understanding user personas is essential for understanding your target audience and keeping your keyword research focused and targeted. ChatGPT may help you get an initial understanding of customer personas.
Example prompt:
“For the topic of “{Topic}” list 10 keywords each for the different types of user personas”
You could even go a step further and ask for questions based on those topics that those specific user personas may be searching for:
As well as get the keywords to target based on those questions:
“For each question listed above for each persona, list the keywords, as well as the long-tail keywords to target, and put them in a table”
Generating Keyword Ideas Using ChatGPT Based On Searcher Intent And User Personas
Understanding the keywords your target persona may be searching is the first step to effective keyword research. The next step is to understand the search intent behind those keywords and which content format may work best.
For example, a business owner who is new to SEO or has just heard about it may be searching for “what is SEO.”
However, if they are further down the funnel and in the navigational stage, they may search for “top SEO firms.”
You can query ChatGPT to inspire you here based on any topic and your target user persona.
SEO Example:
“For the topic of “{Topic}” list 10 keywords each for the different types of searcher intent that a {Target Persona} would be searching for”
ChatGPT For Keyword Research Admin
Here is how you can best use ChatGPT for keyword research admin tasks.
Using ChatGPT As A Keyword Categorization Tool
One of the use cases for using ChatGPT is for keyword categorization.
In the past, I would have had to devise spreadsheet formulas to categorize keywords or even spend hours filtering and manually categorizing keywords.
ChatGPT can be a great companion for running a short version of this for you.
Let’s say you have done keyword research in a keyword research tool, have a list of keywords, and want to categorize them.
You could use the following prompt:
“Filter the below list of keywords into categories, target persona, searcher intent, search volume and add information to a six-column table: List of keywords – [LIST OF KEYWORDS], Keyword Search Volume [SEARCH VOLUMES] and Keyword Difficulties [KEYWORD DIFFICUTIES].”
Tip: Add keyword metrics from the keyword research tools, as using the search volumes that a ChatGPT prompt may give you will be wildly inaccurate at best.
Using ChatGPT For Keyword Clustering
Another of ChatGPT’s use cases for keyword research is to help you cluster. Many keywords have the same intent, and by grouping related keywords, you may find that one piece of content can often target multiple keywords at once.
However, be careful not to rely only on LLM data for clustering. What ChatGPT may cluster as a similar keyword, the SERP or the user may not agree with. But it is a good starting point.
The big downside of using ChatGPT for keyword clustering is actually the amount of keyword data you can cluster based on the memory limits.
So, you may find a keyword clustering tool or script that is better for large keyword clustering tasks. But for small amounts of keywords, ChatGPT is actually quite good.
A great use small keyword clustering use case using ChatGPT is for grouping People Also Ask (PAA) questions.
Use the following prompt to group keywords based on their semantic relationships. For example:
“Organize the following keywords into groups based on their semantic relationships, and give a short name to each group: [LIST OF PAA], create a two-column table where each keyword sits on its own row.
Using Chat GPT For Keyword Expansion By Patterns
One of my favorite methods of doing keyword research is pattern spotting.
Most seed keywords have a variable that can expand your target keywords.
Here are a few examples of patterns:
1. Question Patterns
(who, what, where, why, how, are, can, do, does, will)
“Generate [X] keywords for the topic “[Topic]” that contain any or all of the following “who, what, where, why, how, are, can, do, does, will”
2. Comparison Patterns
Example:
“Generate 50 keywords for the topic “{Topic}” that contain any or all of the following “for, vs, alternative, best, top, review”
3. Brand Patterns
Another one of my favorite modifiers is a keyword by brand.
We are probably all familiar with the most popular SEO brands; however, if you aren’t, you could ask your AI friend to do the heavy lifting.
Example prompt:
“For the top {Topic} brands what are the top “vs” keywords”
4. Search Intent Patterns
One of the most common search intent patterns is “best.”
When someone is searching for a “best {topic}” keyword, they are generally searching for a comprehensive list or guide that highlights the top options, products, or services within that specific topic, along with their features, benefits, and potential drawbacks, to make an informed decision.
Example:
“For the topic of “[Topic]” what are the 20 top keywords that include “best”
Again, this guide to keyword research using ChatGPT has emphasized the ease of generating keyword research ideas by utilizing ChatGPT throughout the process.
Keyword Research Using ChatGPT Vs. Keyword Research Tools
Free Vs. Paid Keyword Research Tools
Like keyword research tools, ChatGPT has free and paid options.
However, one of the most significant drawbacks of using ChatGPT for keyword research alone is the absence of SEO metrics to help you make smarter decisions.
To improve accuracy, you could take the results it gives you and verify them with your classic keyword research tool – or vice versa, as shown above, uploading accurate data into the tool and then prompting.
However, you must consider how long it takes to type and fine-tune your prompt to get your desired data versus using the filters within popular keyword research tools.
For example, if we use a popular keyword research tool using filters, you could have all of the “best” queries with all of their SEO metrics:
And unlike ChatGPT, generally, there is no token limit; you can extract several hundred, if not thousands, of keywords at a time.
As I have mentioned multiple times throughout this piece, you cannot blindly trust the data or SEO metrics it may attempt to provide you with.
The key is to validate the keyword research with a keyword research tool.
ChatGPT For International SEO Keyword Research
ChatGPT can be a terrific multilingual keyword research assistant.
For example, if you wanted to research keywords in a foreign language such as French. You could ask ChatGPT to translate your English keywords;
- The key is to take the data above and paste it into a popular keyword research tool to verify.
- As you can see below, many of the keyword translations for the English keywords do not have any search volume for direct translations in French.
But don’t worry, there is a workaround: If you have access to a competitor keyword research tool, you can see what webpage is ranking for that query – and then identify the top keyword for that page based on the ChatGPT translated keywords that do have search volume.
-
Or, if you don’t have access to a paid keyword research tool, you could always take the top-performing result, extract the page copy, and then ask ChatGPT what the primary keyword for the page is.
Key Takeaway
ChatGPT can be an expert on any topic and an invaluable keyword research tool. However, it is another tool to add to your toolbox when doing keyword research; it does not replace traditional keyword research tools.
As shown throughout this tutorial, from making up keywords at the beginning to inaccuracies around data and translations, ChatGPT can make mistakes when used for keyword research.
You cannot blindly trust the data you get back from ChatGPT.
However, it can offer a shortcut to understanding any topic for which you need to do keyword research and, as a result, save you countless hours.
But the key is how you prompt.
The prompts I shared with you above will help you understand a topic in minutes instead of hours and allow you to better seed keywords using keyword research tools.
It can even replace mundane keyword clustering tasks that you used to do with formulas in spreadsheets or generate ideas based on keywords you give it.
Paired with traditional keyword research tools, ChatGPT for keyword research can be a powerful tool in your arsenal.

OpenAI Expected to Integrate Real-Time Data In ChatGPT
Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, dispelled rumors that a new search engine would be announced on Monday, May 13. Recent deals have raised the expectation that OpenAI will announce the integration of real-time content from English, Spanish, and French publications into ChatGPT, complete with links to the original sources.
OpenAI Search Is Not Happening
Many competing search engines have tried and failed to challenge Google as the leading search engine. A new wave of hybrid generative AI search engines is currently trying to knock Google from the top spot with arguably very little success.
Sam Altman is on record saying that creating a search engine to compete against Google is not a viable approach. He suggested that technological disruption was the way to replace Google by changing the search paradigm altogether. The speculation that Altman is going to announce a me-too search engine on Monday never made sense given his recent history of dismissing the concept as a non-starter.
So perhaps it’s not a surprise that he recently ended the speculation by explicitly saying that he will not be announcing a search engine on Monday.
He tweeted:
“not gpt-5, not a search engine, but we’ve been hard at work on some new stuff we think people will love! feels like magic to me.”
“New Stuff” May Be Iterative Improvement
It’s quite likely that what’s going to be announced is iterative which means it improves ChatGPT but not replaces it. This fits into how Altman recently expressed his approach with ChatGPT.
He remarked:
“And it does kind of suck to ship a product that you’re embarrassed about, but it’s much better than the alternative. And in this case in particular, where I think we really owe it to society to deploy iteratively.
There could totally be things in the future that would change where we think iterative deployment isn’t such a good strategy, but it does feel like the current best approach that we have and I think we’ve gained a lot from from doing this and… hopefully the larger world has gained something too.”
Improving ChatGPT iteratively is Sam Altman’s preference and recent clues point to what those changes may be.
Recent Deals Contain Clues
OpenAI has been making deals with news media and User Generated Content publishers since December 2023. Mainstream media has reported these deals as being about licensing content for training large language models. But they overlooked a a key detail that we reported on last month which is that these deals give OpenAI access to real-time information that they stated will be used to give attribution to that real-time data in the form of links.
That means that ChatGPT users will gain the ability to access real-time news and to use that information creatively within ChatGPT.
Dotdash Meredith Deal
Dotdash Meredith (DDM) is the publisher of big brand publications such as Better Homes & Gardens, FOOD & WINE, InStyle, Investopedia, and People magazine. The deal that was announced goes way beyond using the content as training data. The deal is explicitly about surfacing the Dotdash Meredith content itself in ChatGPT.
The announcement stated:
“As part of the agreement, OpenAI will display content and links attributed to DDM in relevant ChatGPT responses. …This deal is a testament to the great work OpenAI is doing on both fronts to partner with creators and publishers and ensure a healthy Internet for the future.
Over 200 million Americans each month trust our content to help them make decisions, solve problems, find inspiration, and live fuller lives. This partnership delivers the best, most relevant content right to the heart of ChatGPT.”
A statement from OpenAI gives credibility to the speculation that OpenAI intends to directly show licensed third-party content as part of ChatGPT answers.
OpenAI explained:
“We’re thrilled to partner with Dotdash Meredith to bring its trusted brands to ChatGPT and to explore new approaches in advancing the publishing and marketing industries.”
Something that DDM also gets out of this deal is that OpenAI will enhance DDM’s in-house ad targeting in order show more tightly focused contextual advertising.
Le Monde And Prisa Media Deals
In March 2024 OpenAI announced a deal with two global media companies, Le Monde and Prisa Media. Le Monde is a French news publication and Prisa Media is a Spanish language multimedia company. The interesting aspects of these two deals is that it gives OpenAI access to real-time data in French and Spanish.
Prisa Media is a global Spanish language media company based in Madrid, Spain that is comprised of magazines, newspapers, podcasts, radio stations, and television networks. It’s reach extends from Spain to America. American media companies include publications in the United States, Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Mexico, and Panama. That is a massive amount of real-time information in addition to a massive audience of millions.
OpenAI explicitly announced that the purpose of this deal was to bring this content directly to ChatGPT users.
The announcement explained:
“We are continually making improvements to ChatGPT and are supporting the essential role of the news industry in delivering real-time, authoritative information to users. …Our partnerships will enable ChatGPT users to engage with Le Monde and Prisa Media’s high-quality content on recent events in ChatGPT, and their content will also contribute to the training of our models.”
That deal is not just about training data. It’s about bringing current events data to ChatGPT users.
The announcement elaborated in more detail:
“…our goal is to enable ChatGPT users around the world to connect with the news in new ways that are interactive and insightful.”
As noted in our April 30th article that revealed that OpenAI will show links in ChatGPT, OpenAI intends to show third party content with links to that content.
OpenAI commented on the purpose of the Le Monde and Prisa Media partnership:
“Over the coming months, ChatGPT users will be able to interact with relevant news content from these publishers through select summaries with attribution and enhanced links to the original articles, giving users the ability to access additional information or related articles from their news sites.”
There are additional deals with other groups like The Financial Times which also stress that this deal will result in a new ChatGPT feature that will allow users to interact with real-time news and current events .
OpenAI’s Monday May 13 Announcement
There are many clues that the announcement on Monday will be that ChatGPT users will gain the ability to interact with content about current events. This fits into the terms of recent deals with news media organizations. There may be other features announced as well but this part is something that there are many clues pointing to.
