Results and analysis of this survey I did few months ago about the perception of Eurovision among young people. I know some people were interested so here it is. I couldn't post it sooner so it wouldn't look like I plagarised a random tumblr account so! Here we go. These are more or less directly translated from the research part of my thesis.
I apologize for any mistakes made since the whole thing, including graphs and tables were originally in croatian, and given tumblr format, it's bound to be messy.
The age of the participants was 18+ due to ethical rules, but most of the them are young people in the age bracket 18-35, precisely because the opinion of young people who cannot physically be present at the event itself is often ignored. The research question was "How do young people perceive Eurovision?", and the goal of the research was "To see what kind of view young people have of Eurovision, and what they consider its most important aspect, entertainment, politics or something else entirely."
Considering all of the above, the participants, who were 559 in total, were asked 22 questions through an anonymous online survey that was conducted in the period from March 21, 2024 to April 5, 2024.
From this, three hypotheses were distinguished before the actual research;
H1: Young people view Eurovision more politically than the older generation.
H2: Young people focus more on the performance and the message of the song than on the quality of the vocals.
H3: Young people think that Eurovision is a competition for the audience, not for the jury, and that the winner should be decided by the audience.
For the sake of transparency, most of the data is expressed in percentages and due to the amount of data, some of the questions are additionally crossed referenced and compared to see how they interact.
Tumblr media
Graph 1 shows the age of the participants, which was important for determining the dominant age group. As can be seen on the graph, the largest number of respondents are aged 18-24, followed by 25-35, which corresponds to the aim of the research, as the focus was on the opinion of young people about Eurovision.
Tumblr media
Graph 2 shows the gender of the participants, in which it can be seen that the largest number of them were women, over 65%. The data on the second largest group of respondents was unexpected, as over 20% of them declared themselves non-binary. This percentage was certainly contributed by the fact that the respondents received the survey via social networks, especially Tumblr, and considering that the topic is Eurovision, which is known for its openness towards the LGBT community. Men made up less than 10% of respondents, and the Other category referred to respondents who either did not want to share information about their gender identity, or their gender identity was not part of the first three categories.
Tumblr media
Table 2(changed it to graph here because of tumblr) shows the countries from which the participants come from, and this answer to this question was open, that is, the participants had to write it themselves. To make it easier to navigate through so many different answers, they are presented in a table.
Table 2 shows that the majority of respondents are from the UK, Finland, and Germany. USA and Croatia. The number of responses from Finnish respondents is at least partly caused by last year's competition, where their representative was the crowd favorite. As for the large number of respondents from the USA, it can be assumed that with the inclusion of voices from the rest of the world, they became more active in the Eurovision virtual spaces last year.
Tumblr media
Graph 3 shows the answers to the question "Are you part of the LGBT community", where participants could answer with "Yes", "No" or "Other" in case they did not want to declare themselves.
As shown in Graph 3, it can be seen that the percentage of respondents who are part of the LGBT community is also influenced by the collection of data from social networks where the LGBT identity is more pronounced, but it does not deviate much from the Eurovision name "Queer Olympics". This is also important information that can be obtained through an anonymous survey, as most of the previous research was conducted on respondents from live events, so this question was often avoided due to doubts about the sincerity of the answers. Thus, over 80% of respondents identify themselves as part of the LGBT community, which confirms previous research on the importance of connecting with other queer people through ESC as an event.
Tumblr media
Graph 4 shows the answers to the question "Do you watch Eurovision" where there were three answers; "Yes", "No" and "Ocassionally".
According to Graph 4, it can be seen that the majority of respondents (over 70%) watch Eurovision regularly, while another 23% watch it occasionally, probably depending on external factors. Only 6% of respondents do not watch Eurovision at all, which is logical in the context of solving the questionnaire about Eurovision itself.
Tumblr media
Graph 5 shows the three associations the participants had to Eurovision. Sets of three words each were divided into positive, negative and mixed associations, and for the sake of simplicity of presentation, thus entered in the graph. It should be noted here that the majority of respondents still have positive associations related to Eurovision, while slightly less than 17% have negative associations, and only slightly less than 2% have mixed associations. It is also important to note that each association was separated before sorting, so it is possible that someone had both positive and negative associations that were added to one or the other, but if the separate ones were not in a mixed category, then they were not added.
Tumblr media
The full question for participants was to choose from 30 songs in the last 10 years (with 3 answers offered for each year) who they thought won that year. The real winners each year are highlighted in yellow in Table 3.
Regarding the recognition of winners in the last ten years, Table 3 shows that the majority of respondents knew the winners. However, it should be taken into account that these are respondents who mostly follow Eurovision regularly, and for this reason every artist who was not the winner that year and has more than 10% of the votes is relevant. This group includes Zlata Ognevich from 2013, Dami Im from 2016, but also Sergey Lazarev from 2016 (most likely because the predictions were in favor of Russia that year, and Austria was the original audience favorite), Kristian Kostov from 2017, and Käärijä from It will be in 2023. Therefore, it is important to look at this table with the predictions of the winners for each year, and to compare it with the difference between the votes of the jury and the audience, but every passing of 10% in this survey is significant.
Tumblr media
The full question for the participants was; Did the backstage content (i.e. preparties, interviews, socializing between contestants that is published on social networks) influence their decision on who they voted for. Answers were offered on a scale from "It had a lot of influence" to "It had no influence at all".
Considering the fact that Eurovision organizers invest a lot of money and time in the organization of content even before the competition itself, especially in their famous preparties, it is relevant to see that according to Graph 6, as many as 37% of respondents admit that watching this content directly affects who they vote for, although it is to a lesser extent. Of course, it should be taken into account that 31% of respondents are not influenced by this content at all in their decision to vote, but if we add neutral respondents and respondents who were not influenced by this content, we get about 53%. On the other hand, the total number of respondents on whom the content had an impact in general is about 47%, which means that the content is still quite relevant and good marketing for Eurovision itself, but also for the contestants.
Tumblr media
The question for the participants was what they perceive as the main point of Eurovision. Answers to this question were offered, but respondents could also add their own answer. The responses "A mixture of more than the above" and "Political/economic gain" were written by respondents.
According to graph 7, most participants believe that the main point of Eurovision is entertainment (36.31%), and almost the same number think that the main point is for the competing countries to unite around something fun through the competition. While only about 8% of people think that the political and economic part is the main point of the competition. Considering the age of the respondents and the fact that many say that Eurovision is a very political event, it seems that most still focus on the main point as a kind of entertainment and unity between countries.
Tumblr media
Graph 8 shows the answers to the question "What should voting look like?".
The answers confirm one of the set hypotheses, which is that young people think that deciding on the Eurovision song should have primarily been the decision of the viewers who vote, and not the jury. It should be noted that the answers offered to this question were "Only viewers should be able to vote", "It should be half-and-half", "There are different winners for the jury and the audience" and "I don't know/Neutral/On my own". In other words, the answer that both of them vote, but that the votes of the audience have more weight, is the answer that 20.57% of respondents wrote under "Other" in different forms.
Tumblr media
The question shown in Graph 9 was what participants think the current Eurovision slogan is. There the answer was open and they had to write it themselves. Graph 9 shows that the majority of participants know the Eurovision slogan, which coincides with the number of respondents who regularly watch ESC. It is important to note that for the first time the slogan is the same as last year, which certainly contributed to the respondents' accurate recall of the slogan, which was the goal of the organizers when they decided on this move.
Tumblr media
The question presented in Graph 10 logically follows on from the previous one, where participants had to answer which slogan they think best describes the idea/meaning of Eurovision as a brand. In Graph 10, it can be seen that the majority of respondents also agree that the current, permanent slogan of the ESC is the most suitable for representing Eurovision as a brand. Here the answers were already offered, and the slogans offered to the respondents were those that had been used in the last ten years, most of which alluded in some way to community. "United by music", however, incorporates both music and togetherness in one slogan, and it seems that it is precisely because of this that it is memorable and easy to associate with Eurovision.
Tumblr media
In Graph 11, participants were supposed to express their general opinion about ESC. Here the answers were also offered on a scale from "Very positive" to "Very negative".
In Graph 11, it can be seen that the opinion of the respondents is mostly positive, over 50%, and even 22% of them are neutral about the view of ESC. Given that these are respondents who mostly watch Eurovision regularly, the assumption would be that their opinions are more polarized, either to one side or to the other. However, through the questionnaire, it can be seen that respondents gravitate more towards "predominantly positive/negative" when the more accurate answer would probably be "strongly positive/negative" when comparing their answers with the other associations and answers provided. When the divisions are narrowed down to positive/negative/neutral, the ratio of positive view of ESC is even more prevalent, and despite a lot of talk about political aspects and contest rigging, less than 1% of respondents have a very negative opinion about Eurovision.
Tumblr media
In this question, participants had to answer what they consider the most important part of the contestant's performance, which is shown in Graph 12. This question touches on another hypothesis, and from the answers received, that hypothesis can neither be fully confirmed nor rejected. The answers confirm that the performance is a very important aspect, as predicted in the hypothesis, but the second most important aspect for the respondents is the melody of the song itself, which we assumed would not be so important and that the message of the song would be more important, which is not the case with the respondents . It should also be noted that the answers to this question were again only semi-structured and the respondents could write their answers. "A mixture of all of the above" and "Be a special feeling" are answers that were not offered, but were included by the respondents themselves as their answers.
Tumblr media
Graph 13 shows participants' answers to the question of whether they prefer competitors from neighboring countries. Answers were offered on a scale from "Yes, I strongly prefer songs from neighboring countries" to "No, I never have a preference for songs from neighboring countries".
This question was relevant due to the media's frequent reference to the preferential voting of certain countries for their neighbors. The respondents show that this is a rare case, and that only about 11% of them had preferences for neighboring countries. This also coincides with the selection of the song for its performance, as most of the similarities between neighboring countries come through the melody of the song.
Tumblr media
This question showed for how many participants the contestant changed their view of the country they represented, which is shown in Graph 14. The offered answers to this question were only "Yes" or "No". There are several studies on Eurovision as a mega-event and an event through which better diplomatic relations can be achieved. (Zahavi, Ariely, 2024) It can be seen that here the distribution of influence is more balanced, but almost 60% of respondents, most of whom regularly watch the ESC claim that their view of at least one of the countries has changed by watching their performance at the ESC. In other words, the large investment of countries in their representatives has its purpose.
Tumblr media
This question is a continuation of the previous one, that is, if one of the contestants changed their opinion about a country, was it a positive or negative change of view. Answers are offered on a scale from "Strongly positive" to "Strongly negative".
As can be seen from the presentation on Graph 15, if the 42% of respondents who were not influenced by the competitors are put aside, the positive influence prevails again. However, it is important for which countries there are which impressions, for which reason these data were compared with the following question, which was: "If this influenced your opinion about a certain country, for which country was it?" Then we divided the countries that were repeated the most and compared the positive/negative impressions. For the sake of clarity, strongly positive/negative and mostly positive/negative are added together in the same column and put in percentages.
Tumblr media
In Table 5, the data on the positive/negative opinion and on the countries for which the participants changed their opinion are cross-referenced. From Table 5, it can be seen that Slovenia and Finland are the countries most often cited by respondents as those whose opinion has changed to a positive one. Also, a large number of respondents left the country for which they had a positive change of opinion unspecified. It is important to add the popularity of Finnish and Slovenian competitors from last year to the very context of the analysis. As for the negative impression, it is evident that Israel is in the lead, even though 4.29% is still much lower than 11.45%, which is the biggest positive impression, that is still important data. It is an important fact that despite the large investment, Israel has such a negative level of impression, especially as the main sponsors of the ESC. However, this can be added to the hypothesis that young people still see Eurovision through its political aspect, and that the recent conflict between Israel and Palestine has only increased this negative view.
Tumblr media
Graph 16 shows the answers to the question of how many respondents discovered a performer through Eurovision, and that they continued to listen to him after Eurovision. From Graph 16, it is clear that this was exactly the case for over 90% of respondents. The answers offered were only "Yes" or "No".
Tumblr media
Table 6 shows which performers the participants continued to listen to after Eurovision. The answer to this question was free, and most respondents answered with more than one contractor.
These answers also confirm that positive impressions about the country are closely related to its representatives and fans who follow them even after Eurovision. Here again, you can see the huge influence of the Finnish and Slovenian representatives from last year, who greatly raised positive impressions for those countries. MĂĄneskin also greatly raised the rating of Italy after his victory in 2021, but it should be taken into account that after a few years, fans of a band or an artist have a smaller association of them with that country. It should also be noted that many of the aforementioned artists are not winners, and many of them were not even in the top 3 at Eurovision itself. From this, it can be concluded that there is a difference in what is considered a Eurovision song, and what the interviewees consider in their everyday life to be the songs they want to listen to.
Tumblr media
Graph 17 shows the answers to the question about what the participants think about the direct passage of the "Big Five" to the finals. Answers were offered on a scale from "Strongly positive" to "Strongly negative".
From the answers shown in Graph 17, when separating the answers into only positive and negative views about having a direct passage to the final, it is evident that about 55% of respondents have a negative opinion about it, and slightly less than 40% a neutral opinion. This confirms again that the majority of young people do not have a positive opinion about the privileged position of some countries, which is a direct influence of politics.
Tumblr media
Graph 18 shows the answers to the question "Do you plan to boycott watching Eurovision this year" with the answers offered "Yes", "No" and "Maybe/I haven't decided yet." Here, of course, it was meant boycotting specifically because of the participation of Israel and the current conflict between them and Palestine.
The question about boycotting Eurovision was deliberately put last, so as not to affect associations and positive and negative impressions. The question could have been more properly asked in the form "Are you planning to watch Eurovision this year" as the word boycotting still came out as suggestive. As can be seen from the responses from Graph 18, more than 50% of the respondents said that they would boycott Eurovision, which does not fit in with the majority's positive impressions about the event itself, which we analyzed in the previous responses. In any case, this supports the hypothesis that young people view the ESC more politically than the older generation, as the majority of younger respondents were more inclined to answer the question about boycotting in the affirmative.
However, it was interesting to compare some of the responses with the respondents' decision to boycott. That is why in Table 5 we have combined the data of the General opinion on Eurovision presented in Graph 11 and the data from Graph 18 on boycotting watching the ESC.
Tumblr media
Table 8 shows that almost 30% of participants with a positive opinion of Eurovision planned to boycott watching because of Israel's participation, while only slightly less than 10% of those with a negative opinion planned the same. It can be seen that this trend continues with other answers as well. The fact is that a positive opinion about Eurovision prevails among respondents, but almost 10% more of those with a positive opinion plan to boycott than those who plan to watch. For the same reason, data on respondents' viewing consistency were combined with their response on boycotting in Table 9.
Tumblr media
Table 10 compares the age of the participants with their answers about boycotting. The percentages were taken from the number of each of the age groups, and not the total sum, as there were the most respondents in the first two groups, that is, from 18-24 and from 25-35. Nevertheless, this table is important to us because we can see a reconfirmation of our hypothesis that young people look at Eurovision more politically than the older generation.
Now, this is of course, very, very brief look into the whole thesis, without literature citation to back it up and without discussion because it's already way too long. That said, I don't wish to imply that people who said they are boycotting on the survey lied about it, I just thought it was an important look into why someone with generally good opinion on the event would decide to boycott and if age had anything to do with it.
If anyone has any questions, regardless if it has to do with smth being translated confusingly or about the data itself, please let me know! Also consider that this data, while it was overwhelming done via tumblr, also took participants via facebook and instagram and ofc people I know irl and people those people know, so this is not only tumblr mentality reflected either. Hope this satisfied everyone's curiosity!

UK Stocks Reversed Rebound, GBPUSD Advances
UK stocks plunged on Wednesday, reversing the rebound made in the previous session, with the roller-coaster ride continuing as US President Trump’s tariff wars wreaked havoc once more on global markets.
Trump's sweeping tariffs, announced last week, came into force on Wednesday, including a swinging 104% import duty on China, which the President had hiked by an extra 50% on Tuesday after the Asian powerhouse had imposed reciprocal tariffs on US goods.
China reacted on Wednesday by announcing new tit-for-tat tariffs of 84% on the US, up from the 34% previously announced.
Bonds were also caught up in the market mayhem. UK government bonds – gilts – saw yields reach their highest point since 1998. The yield on a 30-year gilt hit 5.518% on Wednesday morning, surpassing a previous 27-year high of 5.472% set in January.
Tumblr media
UK100Roll H1
The yield on US Treasuries rose sharply as well, with T-bonds temporarily losing their safe-haven status, which could impact Federal Reserve policy. Minutes from the last US Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting were set to be released after the London close, with investors keen to see what the Fed policymakers had to say on economic prospects given the, then pending, tariff wars.
On foreign exchanges, sterling rose 0.06% against a weak US dollar to 1.2774. But the pound sunk to a one-year low versus the euro, down 0.91% to 1.1545.
By the stock market close in London, the blue-chip FTSE 100 index had dropped 2.9% to 7,679, while the broader FTSE 250 index shed 2.5% to 17,890.
Pharma giants suffered after President Trump said on Tuesday that the US would soon announce a major tariff on pharmaceutical imports. AstraZeneca was the biggest FTSE 100 faller, down 6.8%, while GSK fell 5.7%.
Oil majors were also under pressure, with BP dropping 6.0% and Shell losing 4.3% as crude prices plunged on the China tariff moves. Brent crude hit fresh four-year lows below $60 a barrel before recovering some ground.
But on the upside, Fresnillo rose 2.4% and Endeavour Mining added 2.3% as gold prices advanced amid the flight to safety, moving back above $3,000 an ounce.
Among Wednesday’s corporate news, JD Sports topped the blue-chip gainers, jumping 9.5% as the retailer said that its full-year profits are set to be in line with previous guidance and announced the launch of a £100 million share buyback.
Tumblr media
GBPUSD H1
Away from the blue chips, healthcare provider Assura gained 5.1% after agreeing to be bought by a consortium of private equity firm KKR and Stonepeak in a ÂŁ1.6 billion deal, having rejected a ÂŁ1.5 billion merger proposal from Primary Health Properties.
Churchill China jumped 11.7% after the ceramics manufacturer reported a resilient profit performance for 2024, despite a decline in revenue, and hiked its full-year dividend.
But PageGroup fell 2.4% as the recruiter said that the slower end to its fourth quarter had continued into the new financial year, with the full-year outlook now uncertain due to an unpredictable economic environment.

The Complete Manual for SEO in 2025: Methods to Rule Search Results
Digital marketing
Because Google's algorithms are becoming more intelligent and user behavior is changing, search engine optimization, or SEO, is always changing. To stay ahead of the curve in 2025, you will need to combine technical know-how, excellent content, and strategic link-building. If you are a blogger, digital marketer, or business owner, learning SEO can help you increase conversions and drive organic traffic.
In order to help you dominate search engine rankings in 2024, we will examine the most recent SEO tactics in this guide.
1. Recognizing SEO in 2025
Enhancing your website's visibility on search engines such as Google and Bing is known as SEO. A higher ranking for pertinent keywords, organic traffic, and improved user experience are the objectives.
Relevance, authority, and high-quality content are given top priority by search engines. Google's algorithms have become increasingly complex in comprehending search intent and rewarding websites that offer genuine value as a result of developments in AI and machine learning.
2. Keyword Analysis: The Basis for SEO
The foundation of SEO is still keyword research. But in 2025, search intent will be more important than ever. Take into account the following rather than just high-volume keywords:
Long-tail keywords are longer, more focused terms with higher conversion rates and less competition.
Semantic keywords: Include synonyms and variations of your primary keyword because Google's algorithms can comprehend related terms.
Keywords that are based on questions: A lot of users enter terms like "how to," "best way to," or "why does." By responding to these questions, you can increase how likely you are to be featured in snippets.
The Top Resources for Researching Keywords:
For both PPC and organic search insights, Google Keyword Planner is a free and helpful tool.
Ahrefs: Offers competitor analysis, search volume, and keyword difficulty.
SEMrush: Provides backlink analysis, site audits, and keyword research.
Finding frequently asked questions about your subject is made easier with AnswerThePublic.
3. Optimizing Your Content with On-Page SEO
Improving search rankings by optimizing individual pages is known as on-page SEO. Here's how to make your content better:
a. Meta descriptions and title tags
Your title tag should contain your target keyword, be compelling, and be no more than 60 characters. Likewise, your 160-character meta description should enticingly summarize your content and entice readers to click.
b. Header tags, such as H1, H2, and H3.
Use the main title in H1.
Utilize H2s and H3s for subheadings to enhance structure and readability.
Naturalize the use of primary and secondary keywords.
c. Optimizing URLs
A clean, descriptive URL helps both search engines and users. Example: Bad URL: www.example.com/p=12345 Visit www.example.com/seo-strategies-2025 for a good URL.
d. Linking Inside
Link equity is distributed, navigation is improved, and user engagement is prolonged when you link to other pertinent pages on your website.
e. Optimization of Images
To speed up page loads, reduce the size of images.
To help search engines understand images, use alt text to describe them.
4. Improving Website Performance with Technical SEO
Making a site's backend better for search engines to crawl and index is the main goal of technical SEO.
A. Optimization for Mobile
As mobile-first indexing is the standard, make sure your website is responsive. Google's Mobile-Friendly Test can be used to test your mobile performance.
b. Page Speed and Essential Web Elements
Google takes into account Core Web Vitals (LCP, FID, and CLS) and page speed when determining rankings. Boost speed by:
making use of a content delivery network (CDN).
making videos and pictures better.
turning on browser caching and minifying JavaScript and CSS.
c. Make Your Website Secure with HTTPS
Safe websites are given priority by Google. Convert your website to HTTPS if it still uses HTTP for better search engine rankings and user confidence.
Robots.txt and XML Sitemap
Make sure that all of the key pages are indexed by submitting an updated XML sitemap to Google Search Console. A robots.txt file can also be used to prevent the crawling of unnecessary pages.
5. Developing Authority and Trust through Off-Page SEO
a. Creating Links
One important ranking factor is still backlinks. Quantity is not as important as quality. Pay attention to:
guest posting on trustworthy websites.
Links are created by having high-quality content.
"Broken link building" is the process of identifying and fixing broken links.
Consider using HARO (Help A Reporter Out) to get backlinks from news websites.
b. Social Media Brand Mentions
Despite social signals not being direct ranking factors, a strong social media presence can boost credibility and drive traffic.
c. Local SEO and Internet critiques
If your business operates locally, encourage customers to leave positive reviews on Google My Business and Yelp. The local SEO rankings of your business are also raised when local citations contain your company's name, address, and phone number.
7. The Growth of Voice and Zero-Click Searches
It is imperative to optimize for voice search given the popularity of smart assistants like Alexa and Siri.
Make use of FAQs and keywords in natural language.
Because many voice searches are location-based, make sure your website is optimized for local search engines.
There is also an increase in zero-click searches, in which Google provides an answer right in the SERP. In order to appear in featured snippets:
Give succinct, well-organized responses.
For clarity, use lists and bullet points.
8. The Synergy of Content Marketing and SEO
Content marketing and SEO are closely related. For 2025 success, concentrate on
1,500+ words of long-form content that offers comprehensive answers.
Integration of multimedia (podcasts, infographics, and videos).
User interaction promotes sharing, comments, and conversations.

Imagine a homebuyer searching for their dream property. Where do they start? Online. In today’s digital world, real estate searches begin on Google, making SEO (Search Engine Optimization) a game-changer for real estate agents and property owners. If your website isn’t ranking well, you’re missing out on valuable leads.
This guide will walk you through everything you need to know about real estate SEO, from keyword research to local and technical optimization. By following these steps, you'll improve your website’s search rankings, attract potential buyers, and grow your real estate business online.
1. Keyword Research for Real Estate SEO
Keywords are the foundation of SEO. They help search engines understand what your website is about and connect you with potential buyers.
How to Find the Right Keywords
Use tools like Google Keyword Planner, Ahrefs, or SEMrush to identify high-traffic, low-competition keywords.
Think like a homebuyer: What would they type into Google? Examples:
"Homes for sale in [Your City]"
"Best neighborhoods in [Your Area]"
"Real estate investment tips"
"Luxury apartments for rent in [Location]"
đź’ˇ Pro Tip: Target long-tail keywords like "3-bedroom houses for sale in Miami" for better conversion rates.
2. Optimizing On-Page SEO
Title Tags & Meta Descriptions
Your title and meta description are the first things users see in search results.

URL Structure
Keep URLs short and keyword-rich.
Example: www.yoursite.com/homes-for-sale-los-angeles
Header Tags (H1, H2, H3, etc.)
Use H1 for the main title, H2 for subheadings, and H3 for sections within subheadings.

Claim and optimize your Google My Business profile to appear in Google Maps and local search results.
Add your business name, address, and phone number (NAP consistency is key).
Upload high-quality images of properties and your office.
Collect positive Google reviews.
Local Citations & Directories
List your business on real estate directories and local business sites like:
Zillow
Realtor.com

Write blog posts about your local real estate market:
"Top 5 Family-Friendly Neighborhoods in [City]"
"Real Estate Market Trends in [City] for 2024"
"Best Schools Near [Neighborhood]"
4. Technical SEO for Real Estate Websites
Technical SEO ensures that search engines can crawl and index your site properly.

What is SEO? A Complete Guide to Search Engine Optimisation
Tumblr media
In today’s digital landscape, where over 90% of online experiences begin with a search engine, Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) has become an essential digital marketing strategy. With billions of searches conducted every day, SEO helps websites rank higher on search engines like Google, Bing, and Yahoo, driving organic traffic, increasing online visibility, and improving brand credibility.
If you want to grow your website traffic, improve search rankings, and generate leads, understanding what SEO is and how it works is crucial. In this complete SEO guide, we will explore SEO fundamentals, different types of SEO, key ranking factors, benefits, and best practices to help you dominate search engine results pages (SERPs).
At MIDM (Modulation Digital), Online Best Institute in Delhi, we provide expert training in SEO and digital marketing to help students and professionals master the art of ranking websites on search engines.
What is SEO?
Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is the process of optimising a website to improve its rankings on search engine results pages (SERPs). It involves a combination of technical SEO, content marketing, and link-building strategies to help websites appear higher for relevant search queries.
Simply put, SEO ensures that your website is visible to users searching for your products, services, or content, increasing the chances of attracting visitors without relying on paid advertising.
According to Google, websites that rank on the first page of search results receive over 70% of clicks, highlighting the importance of a well-optimised website.
Types of SEO
SEO is divided into three major categories:
1. On-Page SEO
This focuses on optimising elements within your website to improve search rankings. Key aspects include:
Keyword research & optimisation (using relevant keywords in titles, content, and meta descriptions)
High-quality, engaging, and original content
Optimised title tags, meta descriptions, and headers
Internal linking & user-friendly URL structure
Optimised images with alt tags and compressed file sizes
2. Off-Page SEO
Off-page SEO helps build website authority and reputation through external activities, including:
Backlink building from high-authority websites
Social media marketing & engagement
Guest blogging & influencer outreach
Brand mentions & online reputation management
3. Technical SEO
Technical SEO focuses on optimising the backend of a website to improve user experience and search engine crawling. It includes:
Mobile-friendliness & responsive web design
Website speed optimisation
Secure HTTPS implementation & SSL certification
Schema markup & structured data for rich snippets
Fixing crawl errors, broken links & duplicate content issues
Why is SEO Important?
SEO is crucial for businesses and websites because:
Increases organic traffic: SEO helps drive free, targeted traffic from search engines.
Enhances credibility & trust: Websites ranking high on Google are perceived as more trustworthy.
Cost-effective marketing strategy: Unlike paid advertising, SEO provides sustainable long-term results.
Better user experience: A well-optimised website improves page speed, mobile usability, and navigation.
Higher conversions & sales: More website visitors mean more potential leads and customers.
Top SEO Best Practices for 2024
To stay ahead in SEO rankings, implement these key strategies:
1. Perform Effective Keyword Research
Use tools like Google Keyword Planner, Ahrefs, and SEMrush to find high-ranking keywords relevant to your business. Focus on long-tail keywords for better search intent targeting.

Google prioritises websites with valuable, engaging, and original content. Ensure your content is:
Well-researched and informative
Optimised with relevant keywords
Structured using proper headings (H1, H2, H3, etc.)
Free from plagiarism and duplicate content
3. Optimise for Mobile & Improve Page Speed
More than 60% of searches come from mobile devices. Use Google PageSpeed Insights to optimise website speed and ensure mobile-friendliness.
4. Build High-Quality Backlinks
Backlinks from authoritative and reputable websites improve domain authority. Engage in:
Guest blogging
Link outreach campaigns
Content marketing collaborations
5. Focus on Technical SEO
Ensure your website is technically sound by:
Improving website security (HTTPS)

Average yearly pay growth was 5.8% Including bonuses, shrinking from 6.1% in the three months to December and falling short of the 5.9% consensus.
Meanwhile, the latest US data showed jobless claims totalled 223,000 in the week ended 15 March, more or less in line with the consensus forecast for 224,000, and up slightly from 221,000 the week before, which was revised higher by 1,000.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5aquqj-NkKM All About Keywords: A Comprehensive Guide to SEO Success Introduction Keywords have been at the core of search engine optimization (SEO) since the early days of the Internet. Despite evolving algorithms, they remain crucial for ranking on Google. This guide explores the history, best practices, and strategies for using keywords effectively in 2024. The Evolution of Keywords in SEO Early Search Engines and Keyword Usage In the late 1990s, search engines like Lycos, AltaVista, and AOL used simple Boolean searches. Web pages were ranked based on keyword frequency, leading to the rise of keyword stuffing. Websites repeated targeted phrases excessively, sometimes even hiding them in the background by matching the text color to the page's background. These manipulative tactics initially worked but soon led to poor search results. Google's Algorithm Changes As search engines evolved, Google implemented more intelligent algorithms that penalized keyword stuffing and rewarded content with natural language and contextual relevance. Instead of focusing on exact matches, Google now looks for keyword variations and related terms to determine page relevance. Updates such as Google Panda, Penguin, and Hummingbird refined how keywords were evaluated, emphasizing content quality over manipulation. Understanding Modern Keyword Optimization The Role of Keywords Today Despite algorithm changes, keywords remain essential. However, they must be used strategically with supporting context. Simply repeating a phrase like "Houston movers" is not enough—Google expects additional context, such as "packing services" or "moving company reviews." Using a natural language approach that aligns with user intent is now the key to effective keyword optimization. Finding the Right Keywords for Your Website One of the most crucial steps in SEO is identifying the right keywords for your content. A good exercise is to create a list of 50 relevant words related to your business and organize them into groups. This helps structure content efficiently and target multiple search queries. Essential Keyword Research Tools Keywords Everywhere This browser extension helps users https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5aquqj-NkKM keyword search volume, competition, and variations. It also helps them discover which terms are most valuable for ranking in search results. The tool provides real-time data, making keyword research accessible and efficient. Google Keyword Planner Google's free keyword tool offers insights into search volume, competition, and related search terms. It allows businesses to refine their keyword strategy based on search trends and user behavior. Using Excel for Keyword Management Organizing keywords in an Excel spreadsheet allows for better analysis and strategy development. Keywords should be grouped logically to improve content structuring. Website owners can tailor content by categorizing terms based on intent—informational, navigational, or transactional—accordingly. On-Page Optimization for Keywords Keyword Placement and Density Google’s algorithm considers more than just keyword frequency. Proper header placement (H1 to H6), meta descriptions, and body text are critical. The ideal page length for ranking well is around 1,700 words, ensuring the content is comprehensive and informative. The Importance of Related Terms Google assesses content using an interrelation of words. Instead of focusing solely on a single keyword, including related terms helps improve page relevance and search visibility. For example, a page targeting “home health care services” should also incorporate phrases like “senior home care,” “skilled nursing,” and “in-home medical care.” Using Header Tags Effectively Header tags (H1, H2, H3) should logically contain keywords and structure content. Breaking content into readable sections improves user experience and search engine crawling. Google prioritizes well-structured content with precise topic segmentation. Standard SEO Mistakes to Avoid Lack of Contact Information Websites without a phone number, address, or precise business details can appear less credible to users and search engines. Contact information signals legitimacy and improves local SEO rankings. Using Overly Broad Keywords Targeting general terms like "shoes" is ineffective due to high competition. Instead, focus on more specific keywords that reflect user intent, such as "best running shoes for flat feet." This approach reduces competition and increases conversion rates. Neglecting Content Depth Thin content with insufficient keyword coverage fails to rank well. Each page should provide detailed information that comprehensively answers user queries. Adding FAQ sections, bullet points, and related topics enhances content value. Content Strategy for Better Rankings Writing High-Quality, SEO-Friendly Content A well-structured blog post or landing page should include keyword-rich headings, FAQs, and a natural writing style. Content should be informative and address user needs rather than simply inserting keywords. Google values pages that provide actual value over those that try to rank for specific phrases. Crafting Keyword-Rich Blog Posts For businesses like home health care services, an article titled "Essential Home Care for Seniors: Tips for Living Comfortably" can rank well by incorporating related keywords like “in-home nursing,” “senior care,” and “skilled nursing facilities.” Structuring content around commonly searched questions improves visibility and user engagement. The Role of Internal Linking Internal linking helps distribute page authority and improves site navigation. Linking to relevant blog posts or service pages enhances keyword relevance and keeps users engaged on the website longer. For example, linking a blog post about “home health care services” to a service page detailing in-home care offerings strengthens keyword associations. Using Schema Markup Schema markup provides additional context to search engines, helping pages appear in rich snippets. Adding structured data for services, reviews, and business details increases search visibility and click-through rates. Keywords Remain Important Keywords are still fundamental in SEO, but their usage has evolved. To rank effectively in 2024, website owners must focus on keyword relevance, strategic placement, and high-quality content. Businesses can improve their search engine rankings and drive more organic traffic by utilizing keyword research tools, structuring content logically, and avoiding common mistakes. With a strong keyword strategy, SEO success is within reach. Read the full article

The Camarilla Pivot Points Playbook: Unlocking Hidden Profits in EURJPY Why Most Traders Get EURJPY Wrong (And How You Can Avoid It) If you think trading EURJPY is as simple as buying support and selling resistance, you might as well be flipping a coin at your local arcade. The market is designed to outsmart the obvious, and if you're relying on traditional pivot points, you're playing checkers while the pros are playing 4D chess. Enter Camarilla pivot points, the lesser-known but insanely powerful tool that elite traders quietly use to exploit price action with precision. In this guide, we’ll break down how Camarilla pivots can give you an edge in trading EURJPY, revealing ninja tactics, underground strategies, and game-changing insights that most traders overlook. The Secret Sauce: What Makes Camarilla Pivot Points Different? Camarilla pivot points aren’t just another set of support and resistance levels—they’re designed for mean reversion and breakout trading with insane accuracy. Unlike standard pivot points that rely on high, low, and close averages, Camarilla pivots use a unique mathematical formula to generate eight precise levels: - L1 - L4 (Support levels) - H1 - H4 (Resistance levels) - H5 & L5 (Extreme breakout levels) Why does this matter? Because unlike traditional pivots, Camarilla pivots adapt to volatility, allowing you to trade EURJPY with sniper-like precision. The Hidden Pattern: How EURJPY Moves Around Camarilla Levels The EURJPY pair has a knack for respecting Camarilla pivots, particularly around the H3/L3 and H4/L4 levels. These levels act like magnets, and price either: - Mean reverts—bouncing off L3/H3 for a safe trade back to the day's open. - Breaks out—smashing through H4/L4, triggering a high-probability momentum play. Pro Tip: Backtest EURJPY on the M15 and H1 timeframes using Camarilla pivots, and you’ll notice these hidden patterns repeat over and over again. Ninja Tactics: How to Trade EURJPY with Camarilla Pivots 1. The Bounce Trade (Mean Reversion Strategy) Setup: Look for price rejection at H3 or L3 with confirmation (e.g., a pin bar or engulfing candle on M15/H1). - Entry: Enter a trade in the opposite direction of the bounce. - Stop-Loss: Place it just beyond H4/L4 to protect against breakouts. - Take-Profit: Target the daily open or a midpoint between L3 and H3. ✅ Why it works: EURJPY frequently oscillates between these levels, making this an easy yet powerful play. 2. The Breakout Play (Momentum Strategy) Setup: When EURJPY breaks through H4 or L4 with strong volume, expect a breakout move toward H5/L5. - Entry: Enter on the first retest of the broken level. - Stop-Loss: Just inside H4/L4 to minimize risk. - Take-Profit: Aim for H5/L5 or a Fibonacci extension level. ✅ Why it works: High volatility in EURJPY often leads to explosive breakouts when price breaches key Camarilla levels. Case Study: How a Pro Trader Nailed a EURJPY Breakout Using Camarilla Pivots On February 12, 2024, EURJPY hovered near the L3 support level at 159.80. Many traders anticipated a bounce, but savvy Camarilla traders noticed the telltale signs of a downside breakout: - Price consolidated below L3 instead of bouncing. - The Asian session low was breached, signaling impending momentum. - Volume increased on the breakdown. A seasoned trader entered short at 159.65, targeting L5 at 158.50. The result? +115 pips in a single session. Expert Insights: What The Pros Say About Camarilla Trading John Carter, founder of Simpler Trading: “Camarilla pivots allow traders to anticipate intraday moves with precision. When price action aligns with volatility expectations, these pivots become incredibly reliable.” David Linton, Market Analyst at Updata: “The ability to trade mean reversion and breakout setups using a single indicator makes Camarilla pivots an essential tool for serious traders.” Final Takeaways: The Camarilla EURJPY Playbook - Master L3/H3 for mean reversion trades—EURJPY loves to bounce here. - Watch for H4/L4 breakouts—momentum traders feast on these moves. - Use M15 and H1 timeframes—they provide the cleanest signals. - Backtest, backtest, backtest—Camarilla pivots aren’t magic; they require historical analysis. - Combine with volume analysis—breakouts work best when supported by high volume.

Retail Food Group launches US fast food brand as profits soar
Australian food and beverage business Retail Food Group (ASX: RFG) has delivered a strong set of numbers in the first half of the 2025 financial year (H1 FY25), showcased by a significant jump in revenue and profit. 
The company is also set to launch the Firehouse Subs premium sandwich brand in Australia with plans to open 165 outlets across our nation over the next decade.
Tumblr media
Robust financial performance
In H1 FY25, underlying revenue of $66.5 million grew by 24.7 per cent from the previous corresponding period time as total network sales of $257.1 million ticked up by 3.2 percent. This was supported by a strong performance from the group’s core brands such as Gloria Jean’s, Donut King, Brumby’s, and Beefy’s.
In turn, underlying operating earnings (EBITDA) increased by 15.8 per cent from the previous half-year and were up 4.2 per cent from the same time last year. 
Statutory net profit after tax (NPAT) surged by nearly 74 per cent year-on-year to reach $7.3 million in H1 FY25.
Operational optimisation
On an operational level, the company continued to optimise its store network with the opening of 25 new outlets and the closure of 17 underperforming stores. The acquisition of CIBO Espresso – which settled at the tail end of 2024 – contributed an additional 22 outlets in H1 FY25.
Management noted that new store openings outperformed closures by 35 per cent in average weekly sales. It expects further improvement to the group’s overall network quality in future reporting periods.
Firehouse Subs expansion 
Notably, Retail Food Group is set to introduce the Firehouse Subs premium sandwich brand into Australia after entering a 20-year development agreement with Restaurant Brands International. The deal includes a commitment to open 165 restaurants over the next decade with the first location set to launch in the first half of FY26.
Management estimates the value of the sandwich category in Australia at more than $1.7 billion and growing, with only a single national chain competitor in the market. It believes such traits represent an attractive opportunity for expansion compared to other food categories.

Jade Malay Keyword Strategies to Improve Content Visibility
Tumblr media
In today's digital world, content visibility is crucial for businesses and individuals looking to build an online presence. Without the right strategies, even the best content can go unnoticed. Jade Malay, a digital marketing expert, shares powerful keyword strategies to enhance content visibility and improve search engine rankings. By implementing these techniques, businesses can attract more traffic and boost their online success.
Why Keyword Strategy Matters
Search engines like Google use complex algorithms to determine which content appears in search results. Keywords play a critical role in this process, helping search engines understand what your content is about. By using the right keyword strategies, you can increase your chances of ranking higher and reaching your target audience effectively.
1. Focus on Semantic SEO
Semantic SEO goes beyond using single keywords—it involves optimizing content around related terms and concepts that match user intent. Instead of stuffing articles with one keyword, Jade Malay recommends using:
Synonyms and related phrases
Long-tail keywords (more specific keyword phrases)
Contextually relevant terms
For example, instead of just using "fitness tips," an optimized article might include "workout routines," "healthy diet plans," and "exercise motivation." This strategy helps search engines understand the topic comprehensively, leading to better rankings.
2. Perform In-Depth Keyword Research
Finding the right keywords is the foundation of a successful content strategy. Jade Malay suggests using tools like:
Google Keyword Planner
Ahrefs
SEMrush
AnswerThePublic
These tools help identify high-volume, low-competition keywords that can boost content visibility. Additionally, analyzing competitor keywords can provide valuable insights into which terms are driving traffic in your niche.
3. Optimize On-Page Elements
Search engines prioritize well-structured content. To enhance visibility, ensure that:
Title tags include primary keywords (e.g., "Best SEO Strategies for 2024 | Expert Tips by Jade Malay")
Meta descriptions are engaging and keyword-rich
Headings (H1, H2, H3) are structured properly and include relevant keywords
Alt text for images contains descriptive, keyword-related phrases
By optimizing these on-page elements, search engines can better understand and index your content.
4. Write for Users, Not Just Search Engines
Many content creators make the mistake of writing solely for search engines, leading to keyword-stuffed, robotic-sounding text. Jade Malay emphasizes the importance of creating content that is:
Engaging and easy to read
Informative and valuable to the audience
Naturally incorporating keywords without overuse
When users find content helpful, they spend more time on the page, reducing bounce rates and improving rankings.
5. Leverage Internal and External Links
Linking strategies enhance content authority and improve SEO. Consider these best practices:
Internal linking: Connect related articles on your website to guide readers and keep them engaged.
External linking: Reference credible sources to build trust and improve your site's reputation.
For example, if writing about "digital marketing trends," linking to a trusted source like Google’s SEO guidelines adds credibility.
6. Use Local SEO for Targeted Visibility
For businesses targeting local customers, local SEO is essential. Jade Malay advises:
Optimizing Google My Business listings
Using location-specific keywords (e.g., "best coffee shop in New York")
Encouraging customer reviews for credibility
These strategies help businesses appear in "near me" searches, boosting visibility in specific regions.
7. Monitor Performance and Adapt
SEO is an ongoing process that requires regular tracking and adjustments. Using tools like Google Analytics and Google Search Console can help monitor keyword performance, identify trends, and refine content strategies over time.
By continuously optimizing and updating content, businesses can stay ahead of changing search engine algorithms.
Final Thoughts
Keyword strategies are essential for improving content visibility and attracting a larger audience. Jade Malay Dallas expert insights highlight the importance of semantic SEO, proper keyword research, and user-focused content creation. By following these strategies, businesses and content creators can achieve long-term success in search rankings and online engagement.
If you're looking to enhance your content visibility, start implementing these keyword strategies today and watch your traffic grow!

10 Essential WordPress SEO Tips to Boost Your Website’s Google Rankings in 2025
In today’s competitive digital landscape, having a website is no longer enough. To stand out, your WordPress site must be optimised for search engines like Google.
SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) is the practice of improving your site’s visibility to increase organic traffic, and WordPress is an excellent platform for implementing SEO strategies. 
https://dcpweb.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/10-Essential-WordPress-SEO-Tips-to-Boost-Your-Websites-Google-Rankings-in-2025-img-v1.jpg
Here are 10 essential WordPress SEO tips to help your website climb the search engine rankings in 2025.
1. Choose an SEO-Friendly WordPress Theme
Your WordPress theme forms the foundation of your website. An SEO-friendly theme ensures your site loads quickly, has a clean codebase, and is mobile-responsive—all crucial ranking factors.
Key Features to Look For: Lightweight design, fast loading speed, schema markup support, and responsiveness.
Recommended Themes: Astra, GeneratePress, and OceanWP are popular choices optimised for SEO.
Pro Tip: Use Google’s Mobile-Friendly Test tool to ensure your theme is responsive across devices.
2. Optimise Your Permalinks
Permalinks are the URLs for your blog posts and pages. WordPress provides default URL structures, but not all of them are SEO-friendly.
Go to Settings > Permalinks in your WordPress dashboard.
Choose the “Post Name” structure to make URLs short, descriptive, and keyword-rich.
Example: Instead of yoursite.com/?p=123, use yoursite.com/essential-wordpress-seo-tips.
3. Use an SEO Plugin
SEO plugins make it easier to optimise your content and website settings without requiring advanced technical skills.
Recommended Plugins:
Yoast SEO: Provides content analysis, meta tag optimisation, and XML sitemap generation.
RankMath: Offers similar features with an intuitive interface and schema support.
These plugins guide you in optimising your content for focus keywords, improving readability, and setting up meta descriptions and titles.
4. Conduct Keyword Research
Keywords are the backbone of SEO. Identify the terms your audience is searching for and use them strategically in your content.
Tools for Keyword Research:
SEMrush
Ahrefs
Ubersuggest
Focus on long-tail keywords that reflect user intent. For example, instead of targeting “WordPress plugins,” aim for “best WordPress SEO plugins for small businesses.”
Pro Tip: Incorporate keywords naturally into your content to avoid keyword stuffing, which can harm your rankings.
5. Optimise Titles and Meta Descriptions
Tumblr media
Your title tag and meta description are the first things users see in search results. They play a significant role in improving click-through rates (CTR).
Best Practices:
Include your primary keyword in the title.
Keep titles under 60 characters and meta descriptions under 160 characters.
Write compelling, action-driven descriptions.
Example:
Title: “10 Essential WordPress SEO Tips to Boost Your Rankings in 2025”
Meta Description: “Learn 10 proven WordPress SEO strategies to improve your Google rankings in 2025. Optimise your site and drive organic traffic!”
6. Optimise Images for SEO
Tumblr media
Large, unoptimised images can slow down your website, negatively impacting your SEO. Optimising images improves loading times and enhances user experience.
Steps to Optimise:
Compress images using tools like TinyPNG or plugins like Smush.
Use descriptive filenames (e.g., wordpress-seo-tips.jpg).
Add alt text to images to help search engines understand their content.
Pro Tip: Use the WebP format for faster loading without sacrificing quality.
7. Create High-Quality, Engaging Content
Content remains king in SEO. Google prioritises websites that provide value to users, so focus on creating in-depth, engaging, and original content.
Tips for Better Content:
Solve specific problems your audience faces.
Use a mix of text, images, and videos.
Structure content with headings (H1, H2, H3) for better readability.
Pro Tip: Aim for long-form content (1,000+ words) when tackling complex topics, as it often performs better in search rankings.
8. Improve Your Site’s Speed
Page speed is a critical ranking factor. Slow-loading websites lead to higher bounce rates, which can hurt your SEO.
How to Improve Speed:
Use a caching plugin like WP Rocket or NitroPack.
Optimise CSS, JavaScript, and HTML using tools like Autoptimize.
Enable browser caching and leverage a Content Delivery Network (CDN) like Cloudflare.
Pro Tip: Test your site’s speed using Google PageSpeed Insights or GTmetrix and follow their recommendations.
9. Build a Strong Internal Linking Structure
Tumblr media
Internal links connect your content, making it easier for users to navigate your site and for search engines to crawl it.
Benefits of Internal Linking:
Improves page authority.
Enhances user experience by guiding readers to related content.
Helps search engines understand your site’s structure.
Example: If you have a blog post about “WordPress Plugins,” link it to related posts like “Best SEO Plugins for WordPress” or “How to Install a WordPress Plugin.”
Pro Tip: Use descriptive anchor text with relevant keywords.
10. Regularly Update and Maintain Your Website
A well-maintained WordPress website signals to Google that your content is up-to-date and relevant.
What to Update:
Refresh old blog posts with new information and statistics.
Fix broken links using tools like Broken Link Checker.
Ensure all plugins, themes, and WordPress core files are updated.
Pro Tip: Set a reminder to audit your website every few months to identify areas for improvement.
Bonus Tip: Leverage Schema Markup
Schema markup helps search engines understand your content better and enhances the way your site appears in search results.
Use tools like Schema Pro or Rank Math to add structured data.
Popular schema types: FAQs, recipes, and reviews.
Pro Tip: Test your schema using Rich Results Test tool.
Conclusion
Implementing these 10 WordPress SEO tips can significantly improve your site’s visibility on Google in 2025. From choosing an SEO-friendly theme to optimising your content and improving site speed, every small step counts toward better rankings.
Remember, SEO is an ongoing process. Stay updated on the latest algorithm changes and continue refining your strategies for long-term success. With consistent effort and these actionable tips, your WordPress site will be well-positioned to dominate the search engine results pages (SERPs).
Start optimising today and watch your organic traffic soar!
