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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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".

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. Måneskin 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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Rathi Steel and Power Limited: Insights from the Board Meeting on November 13, 2024

On November 13, 2024, Rathi Steel and Power Limited (RSPL), a prominent player in the steel manufacturing industry, convened its Board of Directors meeting, which concluded at 5:30 PM. The agenda and resolutions from the meeting shed light on the company's financial health and operational strategies, signaling its commitment to transparency and growth.

At the heart of the discussions was the approval of RSPL's unaudited financial results for the quarter and half-year ending September 30, 2024. This comprehensive financial snapshot highlights the company's performance over the period, including key figures, operational revenues, and expenses.

Financial Performance for Q2 and H1 FY 2024-25 The financial data revealed that RSPL generated significant revenue from operations, amounting to ₹12,142.62 lakh in Q2 FY 2024-25. Although this figure was slightly lower than the previous quarter's ₹12,772.78 lakh, it underscored a consistent demand for the company's products amidst a challenging market environment. The half-yearly revenue stood at ₹24,915.40 lakh, reflecting resilience despite fluctuations in global economic conditions.

Adding to its operational revenue, the company reported ₹41.61 lakh as other income for the quarter, contributing to a total revenue of ₹12,184.23 lakh for Q2. On the expenses front, material costs remained substantial, accounting for ₹9,060.34 lakh, while other key expenditures, such as employee benefits and depreciation, were ₹305.50 lakh and ₹232.87 lakh, respectively. The meticulous management of expenses resulted in a profit before tax of ₹694.10 lakh for the quarter, signaling steady financial stewardship.

Exceptional Adjustments and Net Profit An exceptional gain of ₹471.48 lakh positively impacted the company's financial results, pushing its profit before tax to a robust ₹962.62 lakh for the half-year. This performance starkly contrasts the ₹261.83 lakh profit recorded during the same period in the previous fiscal year.

RSPL’s earnings per equity share (basic and diluted) were ₹0.82 for Q2 FY 2024-25, marking a notable improvement from the corresponding quarter in the prior fiscal year.

Operational Highlights and Strategic Updates The meeting also brought attention to the utilization of proceeds from the company’s equity share listing on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) earlier this year. RSPL successfully raised ₹221.878 crore through its listing, utilizing the funds for critical purposes such as debt repayment, capital expenditure, and working capital. This strategic financial maneuver underscores RSPL’s commitment to fortifying its operational framework and driving long-term growth.

Sustainability and Governance As an ISO 9001:2015 and 14001:2015 certified company, RSPL continues to prioritize sustainability and operational excellence. The Board emphasized its dedication to upholding high standards in corporate governance and environmental stewardship, which are integral to its business ethos.

Looking Ahead The unaudited results for H1 FY 2024-25 reflect Rathi Steel and Power Limited's resilience and strategic focus in navigating an evolving market landscape. The company’s emphasis on optimizing operational efficiency, combined with prudent financial management, positions it favorably for sustainable growth.

With its unwavering commitment to innovation and excellence, RSPL remains poised to strengthen its market position while delivering value to its stakeholders. As the company moves forward, the insights from this board meeting will undoubtedly play a pivotal role in shaping its trajectory for the remainder of the fiscal year and beyond.

Election trade stalls, Nvidia results ahead

This week, the focus is on Wednesday's Nvidia quarterly results. The most magnificent stock of the "Magnificent Seven" has been at the core of the AI buy-everything rally in 2024. Nvidia's results, whether good, bad, or indifferent, will drive outsized moves in equities.

Last Friday, better-than-expected US Retail Sales data and some hawkish Powell comments on Thursday finally saw the post-election trade pause for breath. US yields climbed, equities retreated, and the US dollar held steady as markets continued to temper the depth of the US easing cycle.

The S&P 500 fell by 1.32%, the Dow Jones eased by 0.70%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq slumped by 2.24%.

The US dollar retreated during the day as the street took risk of the table. The greenback reversed course abruptly after the US data as bond yields rose, closing almost unchanged against most major currencies. The dollar index (DXY) closed just 0.18% lower at 106.67. The technical picture remains very constructive above 106.00, although an overbought RSI suggests some consolidation for the first part of the week.

DXY H1

EUR/USD gave back all its intraday gains on Friday, closing just 0.10% higher at 105.40, failing ahead of initial resistance at 1.0600. Thanks to an oversold daily RSI, the single currency may consolidate as the week begins. The street continues to price Europe as the biggest loser of a Trump presidency. Throw in potential interest rate divergence with the US and political instability in the bloc, and it's hard to find many reasons to buy Euros other than for short-term corrections. Only a rally above 1.0700 changes the bearish technical picture.

EURUSD H4

Brent crude and WTI slumped by over 2.0% on Friday as markets fretted over lower demand from China and more potential supply from the US. Brent crude fell 1.95% to $71.00 a barrel, and WTI slumped by 2.45% to $66.90. Critical triangle support at $66.40 edges ever closer. Failure signals deeper losses.

USOIL Daily Today’s calendar is quiet in Asia, Japan Machinery Orders are unlikely to move the dial.

Indeed, the global data calendar is fairly quiet. China Loan Prime Rates(LPRs) should remain unchanged on Wednesday, while Thursday's UK inflation data has the potential to be sticky, possibly boosting sterling. Friday has a plethora of PMIs from around the world.

Central bank speakers abound this week and should be suitable for some intraday volatility.

Top On-Page SEO Strategies Every Website Needs in 2024

In 2024, the digital landscape continues to evolve, and search engines are becoming increasingly sophisticated in how they rank websites. To stay competitive, it’s crucial for businesses to adopt the latest on-page SEO strategies. On-page SEO focuses on optimizing the individual elements of your website to make it easier for search engines to crawl, index, and rank your content. When done correctly, on-page SEO can drive more traffic, improve user engagement, and enhance the overall user experience.

As a trusted SEO agency in Pune, Osumare is committed to helping businesses improve their online presence with the latest SEO techniques. In this blog, we’ll highlight the top on-page SEO strategies that every website needs in 2024 to stay ahead of the competition.

1. Create High-Quality, Relevant Content

Content has always been king, and it remains one of the most important factors for ranking well on search engines in 2024. Quality content not only helps your website rank higher, but it also keeps visitors engaged, leading to longer sessions and lower bounce rates.

Best Practices:

Focus on User Intent: Understand the reason behind a user's search query and provide content that directly answers their questions or solves their problems.

Comprehensive Content: Longer, in-depth articles (1,500+ words) that thoroughly cover a topic often rank better than shorter, shallow content.

Use Multimedia: Including images, videos, infographics, and charts not only enhances user engagement but also helps your content stand out in search results.

At Osumare, a leading SEO agency in Pune, we ensure that your content is aligned with your audience's needs and is optimized for search engines.

2. Keyword Optimization and Strategy

While content is important, the proper use of keywords remains a core component of on-page SEO. However, keyword stuffing is outdated. Instead, focus on creating content that naturally incorporates relevant keywords while prioritizing quality and readability.

Best Practices:

Target Long-Tail Keywords: Long-tail keywords are more specific and have less competition. They often have a higher conversion rate since they are more closely aligned with user intent.

Optimize Key Areas: Use your target keywords in key areas like the page title, URL, meta description, H1 tag, and naturally throughout the content.

LSI Keywords: Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI) keywords are related terms that help search engines understand the context of your content, improving its relevance.

At Osumare, we conduct thorough keyword research to ensure that your website ranks for the most effective and relevant terms, helping you attract the right audience.

3. Optimize for Featured Snippets

Featured snippets are the boxed answers that appear at the top of Google search results. These snippets can dramatically increase your visibility and traffic. In 2024, optimizing for these is more important than ever.

Best Practices:

Answer Questions Directly: Search engines often pull snippets from pages that answer questions directly in clear, concise language. Use question-based headings (e.g., "What is SEO?") and answer them in a paragraph or list format.

Use Schema Markup: Schema markup helps search engines better understand the content on your page. Implementing it correctly can increase your chances of appearing in rich results or featured snippets.

Our team at Osumare, one of the top SEO companies in Pune, specializes in helping clients optimize their content to appear in featured snippets, giving them an edge over competitors.

4. Mobile Optimization

Mobile optimization is no longer optional — it’s a necessity. Google’s mobile-first indexing means that the mobile version of your website is considered the primary version. If your website is not mobile-friendly, it will be penalized in rankings.

Best Practices:

Responsive Design: Ensure your website is designed to adapt to different screen sizes, from desktops to smartphones.

Fast Loading Speed: Mobile users expect fast load times. Compress images, minimize JavaScript, and use lazy loading to improve your mobile site's performance.

Mobile-Friendly Navigation: Simplify the navigation menu and ensure that buttons and links are easily clickable on mobile devices.

At Osumare, we prioritize mobile optimization for every website, ensuring it’s fully responsive and delivers a seamless user experience across all devices.

5. Page Speed Optimization

Page speed remains one of the most important ranking factors in 2024. Slow loading times can increase bounce rates, reduce user satisfaction, and negatively impact your SEO.

Best Practices:

Compress Images: Use image optimization tools to reduce file sizes without sacrificing quality.

Leverage Browser Caching: This allows browsers to store static files locally, reducing load times on repeat visits.

Minimize JavaScript and CSS: Reducing the number of scripts and stylesheets can help speed up your website.

Use a Content Delivery Network (CDN): A CDN helps distribute your website’s content across multiple servers worldwide, improving load times for global visitors.

At Osumare, we ensure your website loads quickly, improving both user experience and search rankings.

6. Internal Linking

Internal linking is an essential aspect of on-page SEO. It helps search engines crawl your site more efficiently, distributes link equity, and improves navigation. A well-structured internal linking system can enhance both SEO and user experience.

Best Practices:

Use Descriptive Anchor Text: Make sure the text you use for internal links is descriptive and relevant to the linked page’s content.

Link to Relevant Pages: Only link to pages that provide additional value and context to the user.

Limit the Number of Links: Too many internal links can overwhelm users and reduce the value of each link. Keep it relevant and concise.

As a top SEO agency in Pune, Osumare helps businesses develop an effective internal linking strategy that improves rankings and ensures users can easily navigate your website.

7. Meta Tags Optimization

Meta tags, including the meta title and meta description, provide search engines with a summary of your page content and influence whether users click on your link in search results. Optimizing these is crucial for both rankings and click-through rates (CTR).

Best Practices:

Meta Title: Keep your title under 60 characters, include your target keyword, and make it compelling.

Meta Description: Write an engaging meta description under 160 characters that includes your target keyword and entices users to click.

At Osumare, we craft optimized meta titles and descriptions that help improve CTR and boost your visibility in search results.

8. Optimize for User Experience (UX)

In 2024, user experience (UX) is critical to SEO success. Google’s algorithms prioritize websites that offer a positive user experience, including factors such as navigation, design, and content layout.

Best Practices:

Easy Navigation: Ensure your website has a clean and intuitive design that allows visitors to find what they need without difficulty.

Fast Load Times: As mentioned earlier, page speed directly impacts user experience. Faster websites create a better UX.

Mobile-Friendly Design: Since mobile searches dominate, a mobile-optimized site is essential for providing a seamless UX.

By focusing on UX, Osumare ensures that your visitors have a positive experience on your website, which in turn helps improve your rankings.

9. Image Optimization

Images can significantly impact both user experience and SEO. Large images slow down page load times, which can negatively affect rankings. Additionally, search engines can’t "see" images the way humans can, so proper optimization is key.

Best Practices:

Alt Text: Include descriptive alt text for every image. This helps search engines understand what the image is about and improves accessibility.

Compress Images: Use image compression tools to reduce the file size without sacrificing quality.

Use Proper File Formats: For most images, use formats like JPEG or WebP to ensure high quality with smaller file sizes.

At Osumare, we help clients optimize their images for both search engines and user experience, ensuring faster load times and improved rankings.

Conclusion

On-page SEO is critical for improving search engine rankings, user engagement, and overall website performance. By implementing the right strategies, you can ensure your website is optimized for both search engines and users, giving you a competitive advantage in 2024.

At Osumare, one of the leading SEO companies in Pune, we specialize in creating customized on-page SEO strategies that help businesses improve their online visibility and drive organic traffic. Whether you need help with content creation, technical optimization, or user experience, our expert team is here to help.

Videos: If applicable, include videos that explain concepts in a visual format. A tutorial on “SEO-friendly writing” could be an excellent addition.

Infographics: For example, you could create an infographic that summarizes SEO tips and strategies.

Adding these elements can enhance engagement and improve your ranking, as Google considers user experience.

9. Optimize Content Length and Quality

The ideal length of words in a page is usually between 1,500-2,500 words, depending on the topic.

Quality over Quantity: Don’t add unnecessary fillers. Every sentence should provide value.

Use Accurate Data: Ensure data points are up-to-date and relevant. This improves credibility and user engagement.

For content creators, adding a relatable touch, ensuring quality, and following SEO guidelines will help achieve better rankings. With patience and practice, you’ll be able to create content that not only appeals to search engines but also provides real value to readers.

Why On-Page SEO is Essential in 2024

On-page SEO focuses on optimizing elements within your website to ensure search engines understand and rank your content effectively. As Google’s algorithms become more sophisticated, on-page SEO now emphasizes user experience, relevance, and content quality as much as traditional keyword optimization. By prioritizing on-page SEO, you create a foundation for higher rankings and set your site up for long-term success.

Top On-Page SEO Tactics to Boost Your Rankings Quickly

1. Optimize for Target Keywords with Local Relevance

Identifying and using relevant keywords is essential for effective on-page SEO. For businesses in Warangal, this means incorporating keywords that reflect local intent, such as “SEO expert in Warangal” and “digital marketing services in Warangal.” Targeting these keywords within your content and meta tags will improve visibility for local searches.

Action Step: Conduct keyword research to identify high-impact local keywords, then place them strategically in your title tags, meta descriptions, headings, and throughout your content.

Example: Instead of just using “SEO services,” go for more specific phrases like “affordable SEO expert in Warangal.”

2. Craft Engaging, Optimized Title Tags and Meta Descriptions

Title tags and meta descriptions are the first elements users see in search results. An optimized, compelling title tag can boost click-through rates (CTR) and improve rankings. Keep them concise, relevant, and engaging to increase the likelihood of attracting clicks.

Best Practices:

Title Tag: Use primary keywords near the beginning of the title and keep it under 60 characters.

Meta Description: Include secondary keywords, and keep it under 160 characters.

Example: “SEO Expert in Warangal - Boost Your Rankings with Proven Strategies | [Your Business Name]”

3. Use Headers (H1, H2, H3) to Structure Content

Headers not only improve readability but also help search engines understand the structure and relevance of your content. Use H1 for the main title and H2, H3, etc., for subheadings to guide readers and reinforce keyword relevance.

Action Step: Incorporate relevant keywords into H2 and H3 headers to improve your on-page SEO and ensure readers can navigate content easily.

Example: “Why Choose a Local SEO Expert in Warangal for Your Business?” as an H2 tag.

4. Incorporate Internal and External Links

Internal linking improves site navigation, helps distribute page authority, and makes it easier for search engines to index your content. External links to high-authority sources boost credibility and provide additional context for readers.

Google’s algorithms favor comprehensive, high-quality content. Providing in-depth answers and covering topics thoroughly not only improves rankings but also increases engagement. Content that answers users’ questions fully has a better chance of being featured in Google’s rich snippets.

Action Step: Write detailed content that covers all relevant aspects of a topic. Aim for a minimum of 1,000 words where appropriate, with specific information that adds value to readers.

Example: Instead of a basic overview, create a detailed guide like “Complete Guide to Finding the Best SEO Expert in Warangal.”

6. Optimize Images with Alt Text and File Names

Images enhance content but can slow down a website if not optimized. Adding alt text helps search engines understand the image’s content, and optimized file names improve image relevance.

Add alt text with keywords to every image.

Example: Alt text could be “Professional SEO Expert in Warangal Optimizing a Website.”

Enable browser caching.

Use a Content Delivery Network (CDN) to improve load times for users in various locations.

Action Step: Use responsive design to ensure your content adapts well to any device.

Example: Check your site’s mobile-friendliness with Google’s Mobile-Friendly Test and address any issues it flags.

SEO Course 2024: The Essential Beginners Guide

In the digital era, knowing SEO (Search Engine Optimization) can be a game-changer for anyone looking to improve website visibility, increase organic traffic, and enhance online presence. For beginners, however, navigating the complexities of SEO can seem challenging. Our "SEO Course 2024: The Essential Beginners Guide" is designed to simplify the basics, bringing you the foundational elements needed to kickstart your journey in SEO.

This comprehensive guide covers everything from keyword research and on-page SEO to technical SEO and content creation. By the end of this guide, you’ll be well-prepared to apply core SEO practices to rank higher in search engines, increase web traffic, and grow your audience.

Chapter 1: Understanding SEO and Its Importance

Before diving into SEO strategies and tools, let’s begin by understanding what SEO is and why it’s critical in 2024.

What is SEO?

SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization, a method used to enhance a website’s visibility in search engine results. Search engines like Google, Bing, and Yahoo use algorithms to rank websites, and SEO is about aligning your content to those algorithms to achieve higher rankings. When implemented well, SEO can boost your organic traffic significantly, helping you reach a larger audience.

Why SEO Matters in 2024

In 2024, with the rapid evolution of digital marketing and AI-driven search engines, SEO continues to be crucial for businesses of all sizes. As more businesses migrate online, competition for top search rankings has intensified. Good SEO practices can lead to higher credibility, user engagement, and ROI.

Chapter 2: Keyword Research - The Foundation of SEO

How to Perform Keyword Research

Keyword research is the bedrock of SEO. Choosing the right keywords can be the difference between ranking on page one and remaining unseen.

Identify Your Niche: Understanding your target audience is the first step. Think about the terms and phrases your audience might use to find information.

Use Keyword Tools: Popular tools include Google Keyword Planner, SEMrush, and Ahrefs. These platforms help identify low-difficulty keywords with high search volumes, which are ideal for beginners.

Focus on Long-Tail Keywords: These are longer and more specific phrases like “how to start SEO for beginners” or “easy SEO tactics for 2024”. Long-tail keywords often have lower competition and are easier to rank for.

Chapter 3: On-Page SEO - Optimizing Individual Pages

On-page SEO is crucial for telling search engines what your page is about. By optimizing your content, you make it easier for search engines to index and rank your site.

Key On-Page SEO Elements

Title Tags: Use a clear and keyword-focused title for each page. For instance, if your keyword is SEO Course 2024, include it in your title tag.

Meta Descriptions: This is the short description appearing below your page title in search results. Craft meta descriptions that entice readers to click and include relevant keywords.

Headings (H1, H2, H3): Structure your content using headings. H1 should include your primary keyword, while H2 and H3 tags can incorporate related keywords.

Content Quality: Content should be informative, engaging, and valuable to the reader. Google rewards high-quality content by ranking it higher.

Internal Links: Link to other pages on your website to keep visitors engaged and help search engines understand your site’s structure.

Chapter 4: Technical SEO - The Backbone of Your Site

While on-page SEO focuses on content, technical SEO revolves around your website’s infrastructure. It’s critical for ensuring that search engines can crawl and index your site.

Key Technical SEO Components

Website Speed: A slow-loading site can negatively impact user experience and ranking. Tools like Google PageSpeed Insights and GTmetrix help you measure and improve site speed.

Mobile-Friendliness: With mobile traffic on the rise, Google prioritizes mobile-optimized websites. Ensure that your site is responsive and accessible on all devices.

SSL Certificate: Secure websites (those with HTTPS) rank better and are trusted by users. An SSL certificate is essential.

XML Sitemap and Robots.txt: A sitemap helps search engines understand your site’s structure, while a robots.txt file tells them which pages to crawl or ignore.

Chapter 5: Content Creation - Fueling SEO

Content is a primary ranking factor. Regularly publishing high-quality, relevant content helps you attract and retain visitors, signaling to search engines that your site is valuable.

Content Strategies for SEO Success

Create Evergreen Content: Content that remains relevant over time, like “SEO basics” or “how to do keyword research,” can drive traffic long after it’s published.

Update Existing Content: Search engines value fresh information. Regularly update older posts with current stats, insights, and keywords.

Incorporate Multimedia: Images, videos, and infographics can enhance user engagement and encourage sharing, indirectly boosting SEO.

Use Clear Calls-to-Action (CTAs): Encourage readers to subscribe, comment, or share, which increases page interaction and indirectly boosts SEO.

Chapter 6: Off-Page SEO - Building Authority

Off-page SEO refers to activities done outside your website to increase its credibility and trustworthiness, primarily through backlink building and social media engagement.

Link-Building Strategies

Guest Blogging: Writing guest posts for other sites in your niche can help drive traffic and build quality backlinks.

Directory Submissions: Add your website to reputable online directories, increasing its visibility and gaining backlinks.

Social Media Promotion: Active social media profiles can increase your site’s exposure and attract organic traffic. Share your content on platforms where your target audience is active.

On November 11, 2024, HMA Agro Industries Ltd., a Star Export House recognized by the Government of India, shared its unaudited financial results for the quarter and half-year ending September 30, 2024. This announcement, made in compliance with Regulation 33 of SEBI’s Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements (LODR) Regulations, 2015, showcases the company’s continued financial stability and growth as a leader in the manufacturing and export of buffalo frozen meat and related products.

HMA Agro Industries Ltd., listed on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) under the symbol HMAAGRO and on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) with the code 543929, operates from its registered office in Agra, Uttar Pradesh. The financial results were formally approved by the company’s Board of Directors during their meeting held on November 11, 2024.

The company’s consolidated financial performance reflects both resilience and robust operational capabilities. For the quarter ending September 30, 2024, HMA Agro reported revenue from operations amounting to ₹14,658.63 million. When combined with other income, the total revenue for this period reached ₹14,780.28 million. Over the first half of the fiscal year, the company achieved a total revenue of ₹28,180.84 million, underscoring its consistent ability to deliver strong results despite challenging market conditions.

HMA Agro’s cost efficiency is evident in its financial reporting, with controlled expenses and strategic inventory management driving profitability. The total expenses for the half-year stood at ₹27,366.78 million, reflecting the company’s emphasis on optimizing operational costs while maintaining product quality and service excellence. These efforts have translated into a commendable profit before tax of ₹813.06 million for H1 FY2024-25, with net profits reaching ₹541.60 million after accounting for tax expenses.

The company’s ability to generate comprehensive income further highlights its financial health. For the quarter, HMA Agro recorded additional other comprehensive income of ₹89.24 million, driven by effective management of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges. This, combined with its net profit, contributed to a total comprehensive income of ₹631.60 million for the half-year.

Managing Director Mohammed Mehmood Qureshi expressed his optimism about the company’s performance and its strategic direction. He emphasized that HMA Agro’s commitment to excellence in manufacturing and exporting has been instrumental in maintaining its leadership position in the global buffalo meat market.

The announcement of HMA Agro’s financial results also reaffirms its commitment to transparent governance and compliance. The unaudited figures for this period have undergone a limited review by the company’s statutory auditors, ensuring accuracy and adherence to regulatory standards. While these results provide an insight into the company’s performance for the quarter and half-year, they also reflect management’s diligent efforts to uphold financial integrity and accountability.

HMA Agro Industries continues to prioritize innovation and customer satisfaction while navigating market dynamics.

Trump 2.0 returns, Wall Street on Coke, FOMC ahead

US stocks surged higher on Wednesday, with all the main indexes hitting record peaks as Donald Trump was clearly and quickly declared winner in the election for the 47th President of the United States.

As Trump, also the winner of the 2016 presidential election, confirmed his stunning return to the White House, his Republican party also took a majority in the US Senate and were also on track to win the House of Representatives, raising the possibility of a clean sweep in the 2024 elections.

Republican control of Congress would present a much easier path for Trump to enact major policy changes and his more inflationary policies. Investors were excited by optimism that the new president’s policies could boost economic growth.

DXY H1

The dollar and Treasury bonds yields jumped on the inflation trade, with the greenback hitting a near four-month high. Meanwhile, gold prices dropped by around 3%.

There was no sign of any caution ahead of the conclusion on Thursday of the Federal Reserve’s two-day policy meeting, with the central bank widely expected to cut interest rates by 25 basis points

Any comment on the Fed’s plan for future rate cuts will be closely watched, given recent signs of stickiness in US inflation, while recent jobs data proved weaker than expected.

At the stock market close in New York, the blue-chip Dow Jones Industrials Average had leapt 3.6% higher to 43,729, enjoying its best session for two years.

SPX500 H4

Meanwhile the broader S&P 500 index jumped 2.5% to 5,929, and the tech-laden Nasdaq Composite gained 3.0% at 18,983.

Banking stocks rose strongly as the new Trump presidency is expected to result in less regulation in the sector. Goldman Sachs leapt 13.1% higher, Citi jumped 8.4%, and Bank of America also rose 8.4%.

Among individual stocks, Tesla climbed 14.8%, with the electric vehicle giant’s CEO Elon Musk a major backer of the new president’s campaign.

Cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase Global leapt 31.1% as bitcoin climbed to record highs with Trump having declared himself pro-crypto.

Trump Media & Technology which owns the Truth Social platform and is primarily owned by the new-elected president, soared 6.0% higher.

But on the downside, First Solar dropped 10.1%, falling along with other renewable energy firms, with Trump expected to reverse many of the climate regulations passed under current President Joe Biden.

Among commodities, oil prices were impacted by the stronger US dollar which outweighed expectations that Donald Trump's foreign-policy plans could squeeze global oil supply.

USOIL H1

UK Brent crude fell 0.5% to $75.19 per barrel, while US WTI shed 0.1% to $71.90.
