                    We have a place for this to go, in the official
                    docs, already split out

                    by version, and it starts here:

                    
                    https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/static/tutorial-start.html

                  
            As for some "strong SEO" I think already the top hit
              for almost everything I seek postgres related is the
              official manual, so it seems to have good SEO. The only
              big improvement would be somehow to tell google to only
              show me the newest version of the manual, not all of the
              older ones too, for the same page.
            

    You aren't wrong on how its ranked but here is an example of what I
    am talking about with SEO:

    
    Search:

    postgresql backups

    
    For me, the first three are the docs which are not very useful if
    you just want backups that just work (unless you are someone like
    you and I who are using the docs for reference not howto). The
    fourth link is this one:

    
https://www.compose.com/articles/postgresql-backups-and-everything-you-need-to-know/

    
    Which is a great article but also isn't what I am thinking about.
    What I am thinking about is articles like this:

    
https://www.commandprompt.com/blog/a_better_backup_with_postgresql_using_pg_dump/

    
    Which in this case is clearly out of date but provides context of
    what I am trying to achieve.
