Corrected 6 fabricated case studies, each attaching invented precise statistics to real companies and people: fabricated Ahrefs content-aging figures (blended/altered from two real but different studies); a fabricated Marcus Sheridan 'traffic maturity' statistical study that does not appear in his real book or blog; a fabricated Sarah Bird/MozCon 2019 quote with invented conversion and backlink statistics; a fabricated NerdWallet S-1 statistical breakdown (the real IPO figure of 31 million was accurate, but the specific acquisition-channel percentages were invented); fabricated Backlinko backlink/domain-authority statistics (the real million Semrush acquisition figure, self-disclosed by Brian Dean, was accurate); and a fabricated Content Marketing Institute 'special analysis' with invented percentage comparisons that does not exist in CMI's real published research.
BeforeArticle attached fabricated precise statistics to real companies, people, and publications across nearly every case study in the piece.
AfterRemoved the fabricated statistics from each case study while preserving the real, accurate underlying facts (the real IPO amount, the real acquisition price, the real general research findings) and generalizing the specific claims that could not be verified.
Why: This was one of the most fabrication-dense articles in the batch - every major case study (Ahrefs, Sheridan, Moz, NerdWallet, Backlinko, CMI) needed correction, following the consistent pattern across this legacy content of real entities used as credibility scaffolding for invented precision.
