The links bring you to different types of content (not just blog posts but videos too).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1552\" height=\"1196\" src=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/8-dietdoctor-video-course.jpg\" alt=\"Video course about keto diet for beginners\" class=\"wp-image-143846\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/8-dietdoctor-video-course.jpg 1552w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/8-dietdoctor-video-course-552x425.jpg 552w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/8-dietdoctor-video-course-768x592.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/8-dietdoctor-video-course-1536x1184.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1552px) 100vw, 1552px\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike the classic pillar page, Diet Doctor\u2019s guide goes into enough detail for anyone who is casually researching the keto diet.
