List 5 things that make you happy, then put this in the ask box of the last 10 people who reblogged something from you (if you want !! 💛💖)

Wow I rambled a lot with this but i can't add cuts bc I'm on mobile rn DHSISHSJ sorry :"))))

1. Ik Ik "haha how cringe are you" of me to say, but honestly? Homestuck. Homestuck helped me in a time of need and when i so desperately wanted something to latch onto. Finally, I caved into my friends telling me to read it-- and it's been a blast!! The epilogues / hs^2 make me feel kinda sad though, because so much of what I loved about the original was yeeted through the nine circles of hell and into the trash. I love Y/ffany's (I call her Yippi tho) design, the art is really pretty at times, Harry is a major dork, I LIVE for seeing Vrissy bc honestly?? Her design is 10/10, very early 2000s emo style and I also live for that. Tavros is cute and a nerd and I think that's swell!

But in terms of story and how any of this happens, it makes me sad to see it happen. If Vriska could return as Vrissy, why not OTHER beta trolls? Where's my Eridan fish man, writers?? Give me the boy or perish by my fury.

2. Also super "haha how cringe are you" but,,, murder cats (Warriors), esp the early 2005-2015 amvs and stuff. I remember watching Flightfootwarrior's "I Will Not Bow" Scourge amv for HOurs and having no clue what was happening, but all these edgy kitties were KITTIES! It's introduced me to a lot of music I still listen to to this very day (Imagine Dragons, Young/the entirety of Hollywood Undead, Breaking Benjamin). And yknow what?? This new arc is absolute chaos, but in the good way.

I'm an "OG Fan". I prefer the first arc, The Prophecies Begin, to almost any of the other arcs. I just could never get into the other arcs-- not to say I haven't read them, I HAVE and the Fire Scene was probably one of my favorite moments beside grumpy Jaypaw, god complex Lionblaze, and fear the gods Hollypaw. I thought the build-up for it was SUPER satisfying. Gray Wing is my baby and I fully embellish in the Gray Wing is Silverpelt theory.

This new arc is definitely something new for the universe. While I didn't read aVoS (but I may do that if i can find the files for it), and so I don't know the major events of it other than what I've seen M.A.P.'s (Multi-Animator Projects, for clarification,,, bc unfortunately that term is also something disgusting). There's fucking cat possession and all the Clans questioning their belief system, yo. Shit be on fire.

Also the Imposter is 100% Ashfur, that's canon now, yeah??? Also im sorry but fuck Root x Bristle that's the dumbest shit I have ever seen. Give me Root x Shadow or face the wrath of my dragon plushies.

RiverClan is my Clan and my gov assigned warrior name is Fireshell 🌟🌟

3. As much as I hate the author,,,,, Harry Potter. It's been a major part of my life for as long as I can remember. I can never really remember why, but I've always just loved it- the movies, the books, the extra little merch that would pop up in my local Walmart. Of course my favorite character is Draco Malfoy. I could go on and on and ON about how I think his character arc was SHIT and JKR didn't have the balls to make him a confident gay man that was always implied through the text (at least, my lesbian ass thought it was implied but i may just be projecting, idk). I could ramble about Draco for HOURS and what I think his character SHOULD have been and how his parents are horrible (more specifically, Lucius bc Narcissa [?] Actually showed a few good moments), and a child should never have to pay for their parents sins.

Oh noo, Draco's a villain because he's a victim of major abuse and peer pressure? He's a villain because a literal child can be horrible and they'll always always always stay as a horrible little fiend?? Fuck that. He's a child.

Unlike manchild grease pan Snape, who was a racist piece of shit and shouldn't have became a fucking school teacher but it's okay because he was ~~~in love~~~. No, fuck you, he was a creep. James Potter n Co may have been a little posh bitch to you, Snape, but that's no fucking excuse to continue to bluntly be a little cunt all the way into adulthood. You're an adult who flatly changed your PATRONUS to imitate Lily's. You have no excuse. And Harry went and named his child after you LIKE JESUS CHRIST, DID RON'S SISTER NOT HAVE A SAY IN THE NAMES TOO?????

I also fully adore the idea that Muggles can run into Hogwarts and their patronus can 100% be a made up, fantasy creature. Imagine you learn the patronus spell and suddenly fucking ARCEUS comes from your wand. Imagine learning the spell and CHTULU (i did not spell that right but im so tired) comes from your wand-- an entire ass fucking Lovecraftian, Eldrith horror is just the embodiment of you. What if it was a fucking Homestuck character like Vriska? How fucking METAL would that be?? Hskajssowjjsjs get on it fandom.

4. Hee hee very evident by my url but Pokemon is another major thing of mine. While vespiquen isn't my favorite (that title goes to Hydreigon), it is definitely up there!

I've ALWAYS enjoyed the idea of Pokemon. You run around, training up these fight monsters and collecting them. I remember playing my sister's Ruby version on her flip-up Gameboy. I couldn't even read but I ran around catching god only knows how many of the same pokemon wherever she was. Apparently, I had fought for hours in the same area and leveled her Blaziken up to lvl 50 something and left her lvl 30s in the dust LMAO.

I got my first game when it was Pearl/Diamond. It was Pearl, and it still holds a very fond place in my heart. I could barely read, I could barely write-- I had named my Turtwig something along the lines of "MmorpHy" and my player boy "ZbsibJ". Yes I remember the names slightly. I really didn't get far-- I barely got to the first gym but I was just so happy to play it.

I eventually lost the game, as a 5 year old would do, but I can still vividly remember what was happening when the game arrived. I had just came back from the dentist and was quite tired from fighting the dentist bc I was super scared. Mom suddenly handed me a box and said it was mine-- my overseas (at that time) dad had bought me Pearl and my sister Diamond, because I lost my shit about it when he visited one time.

Well, tdlr, I played it for about five minutes while struggling to stay awake against the loopy gas they made me take. I fell asleep listening to Twinleaf Town's soundtrack. Every time I play a rom of Pearl and I get to where the player's house fades in and I hear that first tune of the song, I get a huge smile on my face and cry-- as.. Weird as it sounds.

A few years later, I had gotten Pokemon Black bc I liked Reshiram on the cover. Now, this one I could actually READ when playing, but I don't remember a lot of things about it. I probably lost this one too, as a 8/9 year old would do. I DO remember, I chose Snivy and my sister chose Tepig (hrmm there's a theme here of grass/fire goin on......) and vibing to the music. I was so amazed by the sprites moving, I just kept getting into encounters to see the sprites move (oh boy, no one tell younger 7-9 y/o me about Zelda......oh wait....)

Playing Pokemon NOW, as a 17 year old """gifted""" chick, I stil have very fond memories. I recently beat Pokemon Black again and GOD the OTS SLAPS. I fucking adore the soundtrack-- the track that plays when you battle a trainer, the low health dings being turned into a legit song that also slaps, the battle! gym leader themes-- and oh my gOd, the legendary theme is amazing? It really tells you just how glorious these pokemon are supposed to be. It's not intimidating like Groudon/Kyroge/Rayquaza's themes. It's not action packed like Palkia/Dialga's is, it's not filled with tension like Giratina/Arceus's is-- but it radiates the GLORY that the beasts portray. And I live for that. (Also, Kyurem's version is my favorite because it glitches in the beginning and that's rly cool)

P/D/P and BW/BW2's stories, imo, are some of the greatest ones. Yeahhh, US/USUM's is cool and I haven't played XY nor SwSh-- but the ones I can find memorable are PDP and BW/BW2. I love N. I love Barry. They're my sons. Ghetsis is fucking terrifying, Cyrus needs a hug. Giratina scared the piss out of me when I was younger, which was NOT helped by Giratina and The Sky Warrior.

I think my favorite movies are the gen 4 ones. The Rise of Darkrai having a tear-jerking theme for such a mysterious pokemon (i still tear up when i hear Ocarion), Giratina being spiteful is a mood and Shaymin was cute, Arceus being angry is also a mood. Yeah, Pokemon 4Ever made me cry my eyes out over Celebi, Mewtwo Returns made me again cry because Mewtwo accepting who he is, I remember how vastly different the BW movies are-

I just. I have a lot of memories with the series, even if Gamefreak and Nintendo kinda do the series dirty a lot (your top-grossing thing and you made That monstrosity for the Switch? How dare you.). It's comforting to be stressed and pull up my roms for the games and to play them. Mystery Dungeon is incredibly fun to play, Pokemon Ranger is really fun with the concept (Shadows of Almia continues to kick my ass to this very day and FUCK the Jungle Relic, I hate the Water Challenge fucking gyarados bullshit). I remember the pokemon I got for MD (I got Time, my sis got Darkness) was Mudkip, if that is any help.

I love my little fictional pixel monsters.

5. Yup, someone told tiny 7-9 y/o me about console games. The legend of Zelda. My first Zelda game was Twilight Princess on the Wii and BOY did I play the fucking SHIT out of that game.

Honestly, looking back and looking at playthroughs now-- I still love TP. Twilight Princess is still one of my top favorite Zelda games-- yes, even after playing OoT, Majora's Mask, Wind Waker, Skyward Sword, the anniversary four swords edition for the DS where you could play by yourself (Nintendo pls bring that back, I don't have friends to play it with ;-;), Phantom Hourglass- ect.

Something about Twilight Princess grabbed me by the head and yeeted me into the world. I can remember playing it for hours with little to no breaks. I, a tiny 9 y/o, had gotten the hang of the controllers and managed to get past the tutorial quite easily. And then, I was launched into the game and I wasn't stopping for NOTHING. Mom and Dad would have to force me to save and get off to go and eat dinner. THAT sucked.

I had done everything on my own up until the first temple, the forest temple. Not where/when you saved the dumb kid, but when you were saving the spirit's light. Theeeeeeennn I got stuck on the fucking Forest Temple for deadass six months straight. I'd play for hours, running around in circles, unable to figure out where to go, and because I didn't grasp the temple's purpose of being that way- I'd get angry and get off. It wasn't until dad looked up a walkthrough and talked me through what I was supposed to do that I learned how to get through temples.

I had gotten to the last little fight with Ganondorf before the Wii broke and i could no longer play. Despite the Wii being broke and we got rid of it, I was ADAMANT on keeping the game, and I kept that game for YEARS. It was an original copy out of a sealed box, and I eventually lost it when I left it accidentally at my now ex-friend's house.

She had a Wii and I went "hey I have a Wii game!" And I brought my Zelda over. Worst fucking choice of my goddamn life. Mom called me to come home and said I couldn't sleep over like the original plan was, and that was it. My ex-friend stashed my Zelda and I never saw it again. And, even if I wanted to-- I couldn't get it back, which makes me upset. We had a BAD falling out. She likely doesn't even remember it's there, or sold it to the local game junkie kid who buys ALL games.

But I still love the game. Midna was amazing, and I loved how snarky she was and she has a very cute design! The game's OST is fucking phenomenal. Midna's Desperate Hour makes me cry bc goddamn it really sells how serious that situation is. I love Hyrule Field's theme in this game. I love the Twilight Realm's song. Zant was fucking hilariously scary. Ganondorf's design in this game scared the piss out of me when I was younger.

Midna and this game's Link and Zelda are def my favorites. Yeah yeah, Sheik is cool and all I Guess but dhsushwishs Midna holds the special place in my heart. She was totally my gay awakening BUT

For other game antagonists, I adore Ghirahim-- let's go you funky little queer-coded villain. Skull Kid was great, I love the entire dynamic of him. Prankster lost soul stumbles upon Majora's Mask and the mask makes him act out due to powers-- which, I actually took very heavy inspiration from for one of my OCs. The moon falling to Hyrule was a fucking terrifying looming threat.

But the game series holds a place, and I've yet to be able to play BoTW-- although, I'm fairly certain I'll like it. The playthroughs I've watched of it are all fairly decent! I just. Gotta save up enough money to buy it haha.

Dang guess I gotta go watch a Twilight Princess playthrough again.

Honorable Mentions:

Avatar: the Last Airbender, specifically Book 3

my OCs definitely make me happy, they're my children and I'd ramble A LOT longer if given the chance WHEEZE

My friends, but I didn't add them here bc it's more fictional stuff, I presume

Baking. I love to bake cupcakes.

Painting is fun. I'm an artist and goddammit im going to use painting as an excuse to make a mess.

Fire. I rly like fire, down to a pyromaniac level. However, i hate the fires that happened to my home town, the Great Smokey Fires of 2016-- THAT pissed me off. How dare you burn mountain landscapes to the ground. Perish.

History. I'm a history nerd.

I'm also a science nerd.

But fuck math, I cannot comprehend math to save my life.

For some reason, I rly like learning how the human body works??? like did you know, organs are actually sticky when touched by a bare hand?? Did you?? How fucking cool is that.

Bakugan. I love Bakugan, esp the DS game. I love my Darkus Leonidas. Give me back the online world, you peasants-- I want my Darkus Dragonoid. (Also fuck all my friends from when I was in kindergarten- my theory that Alice was Masquerade was somewhat correct.)

Reading: I just finished Finale by Stephanie Garber, and I plan on starting Girls of Storm and Shadow soon.

Watching: Downton Abbey with my mom. It is surprisingly really good (I usually prefer either fantasy/sci-fi shows or animated shows.

At the moment, taking walks. I’m super active during the summer, but rarely during the winter, and it feels good to get outside on the nice days.

Sorry for the fucking essay but no actually I’m not

So I saw a buzzfeed story article on snap and it was from a hashtag on twitter that was trending a few days back, #igotwokewhen or something to that effect.

And it reminded me of something that would be WAY too long of a story for twitter.

Well, several somethings. Three to be exact. This was like a two year process that only sort of included tumblr.

So it started in my sophomore year of high school (10th grade, I was... turning 16 that coming March) and I was in Honors 10th Grade English with the rest of the tryhards.

(Honors didn’t really mean anything in the grand scheme of things, the classes were relatively similar to core, it was basically a box you checked during class selection to say “I want to be in a class with people who give a shit”)

And I was in a corner with two other kids: the one I’ll call Cake Face, and her best friend, Cutie. (Cause they were cute. Like adorable non-threatening videogame-nerd-who-even-I-could-drop-kick-if-they-tried-anything cute, which was very much my “type” in high school as I was in complete and utter denial about my lack of sexual attraction and only let myself grow close to people I could totally take in a fight to ease my anxiety about being touched.)

Cake Face was a terrifying girl who very Clearly had a tumblr.

This was 2014-2015. She Very Clearly Had A Tumblr.™️ like it was Scary.

She sat behind me and she terrified me. I’d known her from 7th grade onwards and until that point I knew 3 things about her: she wore WAY too much makeup, she was a try hard at school, and she hated pretty much everyone.

Except Cutie, who she would kill and die for.

Cutie, whose real name I can’t even remember now, was the first out trans peer I remember having. (I say “out” because two of my best friends who is known for much longer came out later, but at the time to my knowledge Cutie was the only one so I count them as first cause it was my first interaction under the pretense)

Cutie was also the first non-binary person I knew. That is without condition, to my knowledge (I haven’t kept track of many people from high school) as the next notable encounter was well into college.

So now you had me, vaguely crushing on Cutie whose Overbearingly Agressively Supportive best friend sat right behind me.

Needless to say that crush went nowhere, we hardly talked cause I was too afraid of Cake Face to even start up a coversation for fear I’d say something wrong and get my head ripped off. She was openly confrontational with our teacher and the rest of the class and I just kept my head down and said nothing.

Come to think of it, that’s probably what Cutie was doing too. I certainly wouldn’t want my best friend fighting people on my behalf all day. Talk about embarrassing.

But the idea had been put in my head and since I was about ankle deep in Fandom Tumblr that that point (mostly popular anime with some J-fashion on the side) I decided to dip my toes in further.

And while I was still wrapping my head around the vague idea of asexuality and oh no what does this mean for the boyfriend I got last spring my near best friend in the world cane out as a trans guy on like, day one of our AP language and composition class.

Just to me and our mutual friend but like, it happened. The name he ended up choosing could be shortened to a rather gener neutral nickname so he ended up going by that at large, but the actual conversation only happened with us.

(To be fair, his deadname when combined with his middle name was a weed based pun so no one was surprised he changed it. it was also spelled weirdly.)

And that was the first time I’d ever like, fully integrated into the... entire culture of interacting??? I guess??? Like learning the lingo, learning the flags, figuring out what a binder was (and trying to talk him out of wearing it to gym class, irresponsible little shit!) and I quickly became very protective of him.

I mean I was protective before cause he had other problems like anxiety worse than mine and we all know that when a group of friends all have anxiety that whoever’s is currently least active gets to pretend they’re fine and deal with shit. But this was a whole other layer. It honestly made me a little paranoid cause people... people show their true colors at times like these.

Like that second friend he told.

“Friend”

I ended up writing her into a novel just to hit her character with a truck over one (1) conversation.

Cause when my friend was around she was a sweet angel.

But when he wasn’t she was rude as shit and misgendered him constantly. Also she was really jealous of me being better at essay writing than her and like well maybe if you focused more effort into class and less into talking shit about your supposed best friend then??? Maybe you’d know how to write???

And I worked my ass off on a group poster project and she threw it out and redid the whole thing herself cause she didn’t like mine and it’s been like four years and I have never forgiven her for that I had like three panic attacks for that poster and you threw it away?

I’m not even gonna censor her name Fuck You Jillian you entitled piece of shit!

And around that time I also met the most important person of my life.

She’s a year younger than me and three times as smart, she’s still my best friend to this day and all of our friends unironically call her mom.

And she was the first person I came out to as ace.

(Mostly because she did first and the only response I could think of was “me too!” We were eating lunch. I think I was sitting on the floor. She was on a bench. I was looking up at her. Her hair was bright fire engine red and down to her butt and she was in full gothwear.)

It was because of her that I eventually made a new tumblr account (first under lily-of-the-rain, then raininglillies, then Feitanswife which I have no interest in changing cause I can’t fathom anyone else having this url) and sort of dove deep into all of this cause I finally felt like I could.

Like she was the full permission to exist in this space! She ran our high schools GSA and now is Vice President of our college’s Queer and Allues club (which I only joined cause she dragged me)

and all of that while being ace, which I was ultimately horrifically ashamed of until I met her.

Not because I thought it was wrong to be ace, I just thought it made me less important. Just in general. I was less important in the straight world and less important among the lgbtq+ community. No one was gonna make a fuss over me if I just sat down and shut up, but I wasn’t going to be missed if I disappeared either.

I was just what I’d always been, a background character. Meant to be seen and not heard. Don’t make a fuss just sit and be quiet and be glad we saved you a chair at all.

But she wasn’t. She walked in and it didn’t matter if it was a night out or 7 am on a Tuesday she was dressed to the nines, with her nearly neon red hair and a sort of “DONT fuck with me” energy that let her just mow down anyone who wanted to start shit, with her or anyone else.

And people respected her not in spite of who she was but because of it

And that was the final flip of the switch I needed. First it was the awareness, then the caring personal connection, and then there was “you have the right and the duty to flip that fucking switch. It is yours.

Not because someone else told you to or because it affects people you care about, but because it affect you

How to Use Custom Fonts on Lexiconga

The first wave of new features has arrived, and with it comes the ability to add custom CSS styling to your dictionaries! This tutorial will walk you through how to set up your dictionary’s CSS to use a custom font on your word entries.

That’s right, if you’ve put the time into creating a special font for your conscript, you can utilize Lexiconga’s new features to show your script in your dictionary right now!

Read on for step-by-step instructions!

Non-Public Dictionaries

If you’re only using Lexiconga locally and not sharing your dictionary publicly, then you’ve got the easiest setup possible! All you need to do is make sure your font is installed on your computer, then you can add the following to your Custom Styling field:

.orthographic-translation { font-family: “Your Font’s Name”; }

That’s it! If you typed the font’s name correctly and it’s installed on your computer, all of the words and references to words should now be using that font!

Public Dictionaries

So you’ve got a conscript you want to share with the world. That’s pretty cool! Unfortunately, it’s a little bit trickier to get your custom conscript font to show up in other people’s browsers. But don’t worry, the following is a step-by-step guide on exactly what you need to do to get your font online and visible for anyone viewing your Lexiconga dictionary!

Step 1: Create a GitHub Account

If you’re not a programmer, you might be wondering what good this could possibly do you, but don’t worry, it’s helpful in several ways in addition to giving you a way to add suggestions or report issues for Lexiconga!

The main benefit (and the reason this tutorial works) is that GitHub provides a service called “GitHub Pages”, which is free website hosting for anyone with an account. After finishing this tutorial, if you want to set up a website for yourself or your conlang, you can do that with some HTML and CSS skills!

Step 2: Create a New Repository

“Repository” is the name for a project on GitHub, and it’s where all of your files live. Click the + sign in the top right corner and choose “New repository” from the menu:

You’ll need to give your repository a name in the field circled below. This can be anything, but it should ideally be something that can be easily typed into the URL bar of your browser, then click the green “Create repository” button, where the arrow is pointing below:

Step 3: Upload Your Font

After your repository is created, the first thing you’ll see is a bunch of scary-looking information. If you’re not a programmer, you can ignore this unless you really want to learn how to use Git. The thing you’re looking to click on this first page is “upload an existing file”, circled below:

This will take you to a place where you can either choose the file from your computer or simply drag it into the drop zone specified on the page. Make sure your font’s file name does not have spaces in it! Replacing spaces with dashes makes it much easier to type. Find your conscript font (ideally in a TTF format, though OTF will also work) and move it into the page. Once it’s uploaded, click the green “Comit changes” button at the bottom of the screen, optionally making a note about the file you’re uploading in the fields above it:

Step 4: Set up GitHub Pages

After your file is uploaded, you’ll see it in the project page as the only file there (circled below). From there, click the “Settings” button near the top of the page, where the arrow is pointing below:

You’ll land on the settings page, pictured below, where there are lots of settings that don’t matter for this tutorial. Scroll way down until you reach the “GitHub Pages” section:

When you reach the “GitHub Pages” section, click the drop-down button labeled “None” under the “Source” label (circled below) and choose “master”, marked with the arrow below:

The page will refresh, placing you back at the top of the Settings page. Scroll back down and you’ll find your GitHub Pages project URL in the spot circled below. If follows the format “https://your-username.github.io/repository-name”. Copy the URL shown on that page and take note of the file name of your font from the project page:

Step 5: Set Your Font in Lexiconga

Finally, head on over to Lexiconga. Click the Edit button for the dictionary you want to add the font to and go to the “Settings” tab. From there, edit the “Custom Styling” field like so, replacing the “url()” text with your project’s URL and font file name specified above:

The CSS in the above picture (so you can copy and paste it to help with modifying it) is:

@font-face { font-family: “My Conscript”; src: url(https://your-username.github.io/repository-name/conlang-font.ttf); } .orthographic-translation { font-family: “My Conscript”; }

The “.orthographic-translation” CSS class applies the specified styling to all word names and word references in the dictionary description and word details.

Lastly, click “Save & Close” to see the result:

And that’s all there is to it! If you set your dictionary to be public and share the link, people viewing it should see the conscrpt font just like you’re seeing it!

Last Note: Orthographic Translations

The new update also adds a feature that enables swapping certain letters for other letters in word names and references. The field is on the Details tab when you click Edit, labeled “Translations” underneath the “Orthography” section. If your font uses special Unicode characters to represent letters other than the ones on your keyboard, you can set up the Translations to change an easy-to-type romanization of your words into the characters your font needs to display correctly. If your spelling is consistent enough, you should be able to use this to display everything just right!

Enjoy!

We hope this tutorial has been helpful, and we hope you enjoy the new features in Lexiconga!

Please let us know if you run into any issues and we’ll try to help you figure out how to get it set up! And please submit any problems with Lexiconga that you might find to the Issues page, along with any suggestions or requests that you’d like to see in Lexiconga in the future!

Hi! I hope you're doing well. For the Pokemon ask meme, would you like to answer the questions for Pokedex, Ultra Ball, and Shadow Ball? Thank you!

: D ! HI! ANd thank you, you too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pokédex (Your perfect/favorite team): this one is kind of tough to answer, coz i dont really use set teams and i am very indecisive! like i just sorta add pokemon whenever i feel like it on an impulse, and switch through them pretty quickly? like ill have a whole other team and a half in the pc that i take out sometimes to mix with whoever im using at the time. so im not really sure how to answer this! sorry for not having a better/more specific response!

Ultra Ball (Favorite Pseudo-legendary(ies): I’m! gonna use this question to ramble a little, like more than the previous one so sorry in advance this is gonna be long? theres not too many pseudo-legendaries so im just gonna list them! and say stuff that way!! mini list in this ask list! im only talking about the final evolution coz if it was the whole line thisd be WAY too long

Dragonite: its so round and huggable!! and cute!!!! i really like the darker colour it was in gen 5/dpp! its also super interesting how the wing colour of its shiny has gone back to how it was in gen 2 now. in general dragonite is great i dont think its one of my favourites compared to some of the others but its still very good!!! so cute, so so cute.

Tyranitar: this one is probably my actual least favourite, its not bad i do like it a lot it just appeals to me less, not really for me yknow? but its very cool!! i wanna hunt one in gen 2, speaking of shinies its interesting to me how its normal mega goes from blue pattern to red, but its shiny is the same colour. its sprite in silver is the best it looks like it missed the bus and is just now processing that D :

Salamence: its! so! flat! just a squished lizard that has a batarang attached to its back! i love salamence a lot its very very good, its name is hard to spell though. why is its mouth orange in its shiny but its mega has a pink mouth, thats a weird thing to change. they really did change its colours a lot actually just, slowly over time, looking at these sprites. thats cool! i prefer the red to the orange, though the darker blue of gen 3 is very nice : O !salamence!! is very very good! veryverygood/10!

Metagross: I LOVE METAGROSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE!! METAGROSS!!!!!!! one of my favourite pokemon just in general!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love it i love it so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the shiny is perfect and how its mega references its normal colours and the normal mega references its shiny? PERFECT!, gold n silver together i love in general!!! and steel and psychic are a couple of my favourite types!!!!!! I love metagross so SO much!! im gonna stop talking here coz if i dont ill just keep repeating my self but i really love metagross a lot a lot alot!! it with the beldum following it that image apart of the pseudo legendary thing its SO cute

Garchomp: garchomp is cool!! i think in my brain its on level with tyranitar? i dont have much of an attachment to it and i sorta forget it exists. but its cool I like it!!!!!!!! its shiny mega is SO good, love that! also pokemon gender differences are so stupid. and it looked better in sprites i think, it looks like they reused its sprite from dpp for black and white, i didnt know that! but, yeah! garchomp is pretty neat! i like its name

Hydreigon: HYDREIGON IS ANOTher one of my super super favourites!!!!! its so cool and its shiny is creepy like zombie colours, love love green and purple together!!! and its a dark type i love dark types!!!!!!!!!!!!!! did you see the deino hand puppet thats a part of the new pseudo legenday thing theyre doing i want it its so cute sfjksfd. YEAH!!! i love hydreigon a lot a lot a lot a lot a lot a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i dont have much to say though aside from

Goodra: GOODRA I LOVE GOODRA TOO AAH!!!!!! its like dragonite but slime, love that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! its shiny and normal both have perfect colours, see i love green and purple i just said that wow!!!!!!!! i dont have much to say with this one either coz its just the model, but i love it a lot alot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kommo-o: KOMMO-O is So cool!!!!!!! i used to not like it much but i like it more now!!!!!!!! the shiny is so great and its normal colours are nice as hell too!!!!!!! grey and yellow i love that i love that!!! i have, less to say here than even goodra but thats ok coz holy shit this is long im so so so sorry. kommo-o is great though!!!! yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so like putting that over in my head my favourites are metagross, hydreigon and goodra, followed then by kommo-o, then salamence/dragonite then garchomp/tyranitar at last. but i do love them all a lot!!

Shadow Ball (Favorite Ghost types(s): all of them? all of them, yes! all. ghost is one of my favourite favourite types so!! all of them!! if i could i would totally list them all like i did the pseudo legendaries and say something about each of them though, i love them all all all a LOT!! dhelmise is worth mentioning though as one of my absolute favourites!! sableye and drifloon and shedinja have a nostalgic attachment, and blacephalon i need to mention just out of obligation coz of my url. also frillish and jellicent deserve more love. and polteageistthis is the truth about it youll learn to never doubt it the whole affair is shrouded in living mystery..and ill stop there, but!! yes i love them all SO much

RECENT NEWS, RESOURCES & STUDIES, April 6, 2021

Welcome to my latest summary of recent ecommerce news, resources & studies including search, analytics, content marketing, social media & Etsy! This covers articles, podcasts, videos and infographics I came across since the early March report, although some may be older than that.

I am hoping to launch a new ecommerce resource page on my website in May, although that is looking a bit ambitious with everything else I have on the go. (I've released the latest version of my Etsy search ebook, and am working on updating the keyword research ebook this week as well as still drafting a few new blog posts on Etsy search.)

If you have any questions, please drop me a line here on Tumblr, reply to this post, email me, or contact me on Twitter.

TOP NEWS & ARTICLES

Etsy Ads have been turning themselves on without sellers taking any action. There are threads here, here, here, and here. There is a video here with more people reporting the issue in the comments. A few cases seem to be related to using vacation mode, and at least one person reports a much higher budget than they would have chosen. So go check to make sure they ae still off (unless you want them running).

eBay, Etsy and some other marketplaces have formed a coalition to lobby against proposed laws they say could harm small sellers and microbusinesses. The Coalition to Protect American’s Small Sellers (PASS Coalition) is currently fighting the INFORM Consumers Act, which “would require online marketplaces to disclose third-party seller information to consumers, including name, address, email and telephone, or face civil penalties.” An Etsy rep said that this would be problematic because it would affect the privacy of sellers, and could potentially move communications off-site meaning Etsy would have less “ability to ensure seller integrity and consumer protections.”

PayPal is now allowing Americans to pay using cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin; this is rolling out over the next few months.

ETSY NEWS

Remember when Etsy Ads got way more expensive and stopped working for some people? Here’s the technical explanation of what they changed. [It is very technical in some parts, so most people will struggle with a lot of it] Note they explain that the Etsy Ads algorithm “ranks listings based on their bid price, multiplied by their predicted click-through rate”, and that they added contextual factors such as the time, the day of the week, and the buyer’s platform to tailor the bidding, and the expected order value is supposed to be part of the final bid calculation. They also mention that the current system is using the “30-day listing purchase rate” as a factor. The results of testing: “[t]he buyers saw more relevant results from ads (+6.19% CTR), the buyers made more purchases from ads (+3.08% PCCVR) and the sellers received more sales for every dollar they spent on Etsy Ads (+7.02% ROAS).” It’s clear that Etsy Ads are designed for the really big spenders, not small shops.

April’s attribute updates include candles and desks.

In their latest sustainability initiative, Etsy will now offset carbon emissions from packaging.

Etsy’s “disaster relief fund” has launched, but it is only available to US sellers, which is something not stated until you click to the application form. The FAQs actually state it is available to “all sellers”. Because everyone on Etsy is American, right?

Etsy donated $500,000 to two groups working against Asian hate. Ironically, they also got called out for having an algorithm that was surfacing “erotic” photos of Asian women as recommendations on listings that were completely unrelated items with only “Asian” as a common keyword. The issue was also noted in searches for “Asian photo”. Etsy’s response was to remove 3 listings and to promise to “continue to work on improving our algorithm to avoid surfacing recommendations where not relevant or appropriate.”

The Spring and Summer Trend Report is out, with the usual detail on trending items and keywords used. Some of the search trends:

“143% YoY increase in searches on Etsy for checkered prints”

Things like mushrooms, and “waves and squiggles” are hot

Outdoors, plants and gardening, staycations & decor related to travel are all expected to continue to be popular

“286% YoY increase in searches on Etsy for vintage colored glassware”

“42% YoY increase in searches on Etsy for pendant necklaces”

“86% YoY increase in searches on Etsy for clothing patterns”

SEO: GOOGLE & OTHER SEARCH ENGINES

If you are fairly new to SEO for search engines such as Google, you may find that it seems way too complex, and you might worry that you are missing something. Here is a great basic checklist for websites. Most of these items will not apply on marketplaces such as Etsy; e.g., Etsy rewrites the file name, and doesn’t allow you to create an URL separate from the listing title, or a meta description different from the listing description.

One of the most common questions I get is “how do I get backlinks”? Fortunately, Moz just came out with the Beginner's Guide to Link Building.

You know that links are very important for Google ranking, but do you know how Google decides that? Read this, and you will. [text with lots of graphics]

If you really want to know everything about SEO, Search Engine Journal compiled a fabulous list of resources. Some get very technical, so this list is definitely not for everyone.

A new study says that ⅔ of Google searches do not result in a click; people are getting the information they seek from various Google features on the search page. The study does not separate out simple searches such as the temperature outside, or a spelling check, in which users wouldn’t benefit from clicking. But while the click rate is dropping, users are still growing, so the total number of clicks continues to increase. Here’s a bit of commentary on the study.

Although Google says it likely won’t change ranking much, here’s a good overview of the upcoming Core Web Vitals algorithm update.

Good news! Bots don’t hurt your Google ranking.

SEO for videos on Google, appropriately in the form of a video. [links and highlights in the video’s description]

Former Google employees are involved in Neema, a subscription-based search engine which will protect users’ privacy. The site is currently in beta and there is a waitlist.

(CONTENT) MARKETING & SOCIAL MEDIA (includes blogging & emails)

Trends in the best headline/caption/title for sharing have changed. BuzzSumo’s review of 100 million posts shows that emotional phrases are no longer as big as they were in 2017, and the most shared headlines are now shorter: only 11 words/65 characters. There is a lot of analysis of Twitter and Facebook as well as general info here.

3. Three Fears: Spiders, heights, needles

7. Four Turn ons: Sass, dominance, intelligence, and a sense of humor

8. Four Turn Offs: Loud ignorance, holier-than-thou attitudes, stereotypical girliness, not listening (especially to no)

9. Dream Date Scenario: Something personal, which of course sounds super vague. If an idea/activity/event/anything immediately makes you think of me, then it is most likely a good idea. I don't like flashy or expensive dates, we could literally just watch something on Netflix or get a Redbox and have takeout, and I'll be over the moon. Just give me your time, and I'll try my best to make it worthwhile.

10. Tattoos/ Piercings: I have 6 tattoos, currently; a crescent moon on my hip, a barcode on one ankle and a chain of paper people on the other, Disturbed's Guy and a Hylian shield on one calf, and the Evanescence logo on the other. I only have piercings in my ears; one set is gauged to 00, and I have 2 in the left ear and 3 in the right.

11. Why I joined Tumblr: Truthfully, so I didn't have to steal my husband's phone to look at porn, and I've found all sorts of fun, not perverted things as well. Now there's very little porn on my dash.

12. How I feel Right Now: Tired as shit, but I'm a glutton for punishment.

13. Something I really, really want: My own space to be myself, and people that love me who understand that I just need to be a burrito sometimes.

14. My relationship status: Married with 2 wonderful step kids.

15. The meaning behind my URL: I prefer Raynai, but that spelling was taken.

16. Favorite songs: Shit, umm... Anything Disturbed, Bloody Creature Poster Girl by In This Moment, Battle Born by Five Finger Death Punch, Papa Roach's Born for Greatness, Natural Born Killer by Avenged Sevenfold, Shinedown's cover of Simple Man..... There's a ton along those lines.

21. Three things I find attractive in other people: Wit, humility, emotional maturity

22. Something I love: Sleep

32. My pets: Oh damn.... 2 dogs, Kara the pit bull and Abbie the pit/lab mix; 2 cats, all black Salem and Tiger the dark tabby; 2 bearded dragons, Dante and Lucifer, and a piebald ball python, Gunn.

33. How I got into witchcraft: Cheesily enough, my mom and I used to watch Charmed all the time when I was little... I was always interested in witchy stuff, and in highschool I started looking into Wicca. It was a decent start, but it didn't quite fit. When I finally moved out I started doing more research, and now here we be. I'm still working out kinks (ha), but I do know that spirit work is a thing I enjoy.

34. My practice/path: I am a beginning spirit worker who's still trying to find her feet. I find Celtic and Norse mythologies interesting but I'm still digging.

35. Something that’s constantly on my mind: ....Yes? I tend to have an internal chatter running, and there's almost always parts of songs floating around in there.

36. Three habits I have: I apologize a lot, and I pick at my nails/cuticles too much, and I don't speak up when I sometimes should.

37. My future goals: To have a stable home life and the income to provide for my family. I don't need to be rich, I just want to be able to pay bills and afford food. I also want to iron out my path and maybe pass it on to future children.

38. Something I fantasize about: Having a tiny house. Clearly not as my main house, but I'd use it for witchcraft or reading or crafting. It'd be my space to be me.

39. Favorite Colors: Black, blood red, hunter green

40. What I did yesterday: Worked. So exciting.

47. Where I want to vacation to: What are vacations?

48. Do I want kids: At some point, but not this minute.

49. My favorite thing to learn about/ study: Learning is awesome, in general, but science is cool as shit.

50. A random fact or quirk about me: My typing style changes a bit when I'm angry. Like, I use proper phrasing and grammar, and tend to stop using contractions like don't or can't.

Want to drive a TON of organic traffic to your website? Here’s the basic formula: Pick a topic/keyword Create an exceptional piece of content around that topic Promote it. Build links to it. Rank it. Sounds simple, right!? I’ll let you in on a little secret: It is simple, but only if you use the right tools for the job. What do I mean by that? Well, there are a ton of questions you need to answer before you get started, such as: Which keywords/topics should you be trying to rank for? Is it even possible to outrank the competition? What kind of content should you create? (e.g. blog post, infographic, interactive content, etc) How many links do you need to build to rank for your chosen keywords? (and can you build that many links?) In this post, I’ll be showing you how to answer all these questions (and more) with only one tool: Ahrefs. What You Will Learn Let me make one thing clear: My aim here isn’t to list everything Ahrefs can do. (If that’s what you want, you can find a big list of features here.) My aim is to show actionable ways to use Ahrefs (and no other tools) to get more organic traffic to your website. Here’s everything I’ll be teaching you: Getting Started: How to get started with Ahrefs and set yourself up for success (note: do not skip this stage, it is very important). Backlink Health Check: How to identify (and fix) any backlink issues that may be holding your website back in the SERPs. WARNING: Fixing these issues can lead to an instant rankings boost! Keyword Research: Ahrefs Keywords Explorer is perhaps the best keyword research tool on the market. I’ll show you how to use this tool (and a couple of other Ahrefs tools) to build an initial keyword list for your website. Keyword Prioritisation: How to prioritise your keywords list and identify “low-hanging” opportunities that can boost traffic FAST. Content Research: How to figure out EXACTLY what type of content you should be creating to rank for your chosen keywords. Link Building: How to build links to your website using a variety of methods (note: this is where Ahrefs really shines!) Site Audit: How to diagnose and fix errors with your website (note: this is highly recommended, as on-site errors can hold back your success, even if you’ve done everything right thus far!) Analyse your Progress/Success: How to use Ahrefs to make sure you’re on the right track and that things are improving with your website. I’ve made a big effort to lay this out as a checklist, rather than a random list of ideas and tactics. This means that if you follow this guide from start-to-finish, I guarantee you will see results. What Is Ahrefs (And Why Should You Care)? Ahrefs is a powerful—and complete—SEO analysis tool. It does pretty much everything you could ever need to do from an SEO standpoint, including: Keyword research (via Keywords Explorer) Content research (via Content Explorer) Backlink research (via Site Explorer) Rank tracking (via Rank Tracker) Competitor research (via Site Explorer, Link Intersect Tool, etc) Site auditing (i.e. diagnosing site health issues, etc.) (via the Site Audit tool) Right now, the only important thing Ahrefs can’t do is manage or send link building outreach emails. But you can use Gmail for that. Everything else is covered. You can search a database of 4.9 million keywords in seconds with Keywords Explorer. You can search 700+ million pieces of content to find content ideas that will generate a ton of traffic, with Content Explorer. You can search the world’s largest index of backlinks (over 3 trillion!) to see all your competitors backlinks, with Site Explorer. You can find and fix hundreds of on-site issues in seconds, with the Site Audit tool. And that’s the tip of the iceberg, really. But, impressive industry-leading stats aside, what does this mean for the average Joe? Simple. It means you have everything you need—under one roof—to grow your website traffic like crazy. This post will walk you through the process of doing this, step-by-step. Getting Started With My Ahrefs Review In this short section, I’ll show you how to get started with my Ahrefs review and how to set up your account for success. So, first things first, head over to Ahrefs and sign up for a trial. Note: It’s $7 for a 7-day trial. I recommend trying the “Standard” plan. Once you’re in, Ahrefs will prompt you to add a project (i.e. website) to your account. This is pretty straightforward—give your project a name and hit “next”. Make sure to use the http + https naming scheme. You’ll then be asked to add keywords that you want to track. Ahrefs actually suggests a bunch of keywords that your website is already ranking for. Basically, the higher up the list of suggestions they are, the more traffic those keywords are sending to your website. I recommend adding the first 4-5 pages worth of keywords. Why? Because this allows you to track your most important keywords (i.e. the keywords that are the most traffic to your website). Step some competitors. Again, you can either add competitors manually (if you know them) or choose from the suggestions Ahrefs gives. I recommend adding 5 competitors from the suggestions Ahrefs gives. And finally, add some branded keywords to track. I really recommend taking a moment to set this one up. We’ll be using it later in the guide. Note: By default, Ahrefs sends you daily emails about these keywords. If you prefer not to have daily emails flooding your inbox, go into the settings and change this to weekly (or monthly). That’s it. You’re ready to rock! Backlink Health Check Backlinks from spammy, low-quality websites. Backlinks with over-optimised anchor text. These types of backlinks can spell disaster for your website. At best, they’ll prevent your website from ranking as well as it should. At worst, they’ll lead to a Google Penguin penalty. That’s why you need to nip any “bad” backlinks in the bud before you invest time, energy, and money optimizing your website. But: How do you do this? Like I said earlier, Ahrefs has the largest backlink index on the planet— this makes it the perfect tool for identifying and fixing any “bad” backlinks. NOTE: Ahrefs just released a new Site Audit tool to help diagnose even more issues with your website. I’ll be running through this later in the guide. Here’s how to do it: Look for “Dodgy” Links in the Backlinks and Referring Domains Reports Enter your domain into Site Explorer, then navigate to the referring domains tab. By default, this will show you all referring domains ordered by Domain Rating (DR)—highest to lowest. But remember: You’re looking for low-quality links, so reverse this (i.e. order by DR low to high). Look for domains that look low-quality or suspicious, such as: Anything you don’t recognise Foreign-language websites (e.g. .ru, .dk domains, etc) .xyz domains Low-quality wiki pages Article directories [empty anchors] Of course, it would be pretty time-consuming if you had to check every backlink manually. But, luckily, Ahrefs has a few filters to help you out. If you move to the Backlinks report, there are filters for both languages and platform. I recommend filtering by languages like Russian to find spammy backlinks, as Russian sites are kind of notorious for link spam. Note: You can get even more specific with languages by filtering for exact TLDs (e.g. .dk, .ru, etc.) in the Referring Domains report. You can also easily uncover low-quality Wiki pages with the Wikis filter in the Backlinks report: But remember, even if something looks super-dodgy, always check out the link manually before making a judgement. Otherwise, you run the risk of disavowing links that may be helping your website. If you can confirm that the link is “bad”, hit the checkbox next to the domain. You can then simply click “disavow links” to send them to your disavow area + create a disavow file. NOTE: You can only see checkboxes if the domain that you’re reviewing is added to Ahrefs Dashboard. This should be the case if you added your domain(s) in the “getting started” section above. Look for Unnatural Anchor Text Issues Anchor text is the clickable text within a link. Example: The anchor text for this link is “this link here”. Anchor text helps to tell Google (and potential visitors) what your website is about—that’s why it remains a Google ranking factor. But: Anchor text over-optimisation (i.e. too many keyword-rich links) can trigger a Google penalty. If your website has an unnatural link profile with tons of exact match (or partial match) anchor texts, this could be an issue. Here’s how to identify—and fix—these issues with Ahrefs: Enter your domain into Site Explorer, then go to the Anchors report under Backlink Profile. This will show you exactly what anchor text is being used within the links back to your website. If you have a healthy backlink profile, most of your anchors will probably be: Branded anchors (e.g. “matthew woodward”, “matthewwoodward.co.uk”, etc.) Generic anchors (e.g. “click here”, “this post”, etc.) What you don’t want to see is lots of exact-match anchors. This is a sign of over-optimisation. If you spot anything that looks dodgy, hit details > referring domains to see which sites are linking to you. Right now, you can’t disavow these links directly from within the anchors report. However, you can simply hit the export button then upload the file manually to the disavow area. Look for LOTS of Links from the Same C-block IPs Every website has its own IP address that looks something like this: 04.27.36.55 In simple terms, while you may be used to typing in matthewwoodward.co.uk to get to my blog, that’s really just a memorable way of navigating to an IP address where my website resides. Basically: Because humans are better at remembering website URLs than a random string of numbers, we let the browser do the work and translate a URL into an IP address behind the scenes. Now, IP addresses are separated into blocks: A, B, C, and D blocks, like so: AAA.BBB.CCC.DDD If we have the following two websites: 04.27.36.55 04.27.36.7 We would say they’re on the same C-block. In internet terms, these sites are neighbours. Note: More information on IP addresses here. Why does this matter? Lots of links from the same C-block IP can be a bad sign. This is because it signals to Google that these sites may be closely related (e.g. a PBN) and therefore, not the most natural links ever. Luckily, you can use Ahrefs’ Referring IPs report to find these. Here’s how: Enter your domains into Site Explorer, then hit the Referring IPs report under Backlink Profile. Ahrefs groups referring IPs by C-blocks by default—very useful! In the example above, you can see that the first few results look a bit dodgy—there are thousands of links, from hundreds of domains, all on the same C-block IP. Let’s take a deeper look. Yep, they’re spammy. They need disavowing/removing. Again, there’s no way to disavow these directly from this report but you can export the domains to a .csv and upload them manually. Find (AND Fix) Broken Backlinks Building backlinks is damn hard. It’s laborious. Time consuming. And costly. So: It makes sense to ensure that you’re getting the full benefit of the links you build, right? Definitely. Unfortunately, links sometimes break. And when this happens, you won’t feel the benefit of those links. That’s why fixing broken links is a quick way to regain some valuable link juice and increase rankings. Here’s how to do it: Enter your domain into Site Explorer then go to Pages > Best by links. Then, add a filter so you see only pages with a 404 status code. You will now see all 404 pages on your website ranked by the number of referring domains they have. Here’s how to reclaim the “link juice” for these pages: Restore the broken page—this should be done if there is an actual error on your part (i.e. you’ve accidentally deleted a valuable page at some point). Add a 30 redirect to the broken page—this should point to either the new location of the page, a suitable alternative, or the homepage. Reach out and asking the website owner to fix the link—this is your best bet if there’s an actual problem with the link such as incorrect formatting. So, just restore these pages or redirect them to something relevant to preserve all your link juice. Do this for any valuable broken links and you’ll see an instant boost! Remove ALL Low-Quality (or Irrelevant) Outbound Links Spammy inbound links are BAD. But outbound links are also extremely important. You, therefore, need to make sure that you’re not linking to low-quality (or totally irrelevant) websites. Here’s how to do it: Enter your domain into Site Explorer then go to Outgoing links > Linked Domains > add a dofollow filter By default, Ahrefs shows the most linked-to domains first. Reverse this list. When I gave this report a quick onceover for my own website, everything looked pretty above board (phew!) BUT…this isn’t the case for all sites. Here’s an outbound link I found on Moz.com: This is clearly a spammy domain. If you find anything like this, remove (or replace) the links on your website. Also: Sometimes, you’ll find that your website is linking to a particular URL many times. Example: Upon closer inspection, we can see that this is a WordPress theme link present in the theme HTML. In all honesty, this probably isn’t going to cause any huge issues. However, as it’s a dofollow link across (almost) every page of the website, at the very least it’s diluting authority for no good reason. I recommend that you remove anything like this from your website’s HTML, too. Fix Broken Outbound Links Broken outbound links lead to a bad user experience. Not only is it annoying to click a link on a website and be taken to a broken page but also, it leaves the visitor questioning the validity of your content. Why? Because they’ll assume your website hasn’t been updated in awhile. Or that you simply don’t put much effort into your content—certainly not enough to curate resources that actually exist. Also, if Google thinks your content is going to lead to a bad user experience, they certainly aren’t going to rank your website. Luckily, this is easily fixable. Here’s how: Enter your website into Site Explorer, then go to Outgoing Links > Broken Links. If anything shows up in this report, there are issues to be fixed. Looks like I have 56 broken outbound links on my website :( You should fix these links by either removing them or replacing them. Note: Here’s a checklist from Vertical measures that goes into detail regarding exactly how to deal with broken outbound links. Keyword Research Fixing the errors outlined above should be enough to give you a small traffic boost. BUT: Now it’s time for the big guns. No matter what website you’re working on, your SEO strategy should follow roughly the same blueprint, which is: Find keywords you want to rank for (and that you already rank for) Prioritise keywords/topics into long-term opportunities + short-term opportunities (i.e. low-hanging fruit) Create some content (or improve existing content) around those keywords Build links to content (wherever appropriate/necessary) Analyse what did/didn’t work and refine your strategy/plan going forward. Rinse and repeat all of the above Trust me: Do those things, in that order, and I guarantee you’ll see a HUGE traffic increase. So, let’s get started with the first step: keyword discovery. Pop a Few “Seed” Keywords into Keywords Explorer Keywords Explorer is the first place I turn when I want to discover keywords for a new (or existing) website. That’s because all you need is a few “seed” keywords and it’ll give you thousands of ideas. Here’s the process: Go to Keywords explorer and enter a few seed keyword ideas. Note: There’s no exact process for coming up with these. Just make an educated guess. Hit the search button. Note: Make sure to select the appropriate country (e.g. United States) before searching, otherwise you’ll see keyword volume estimates and whatnot for a country unrelated to your business. Go to the metrics tab. This shows you monthly search volume, Keyword Difficulty (KD), and tons of other information. If a keyword looks good (i.e. it has some decent search volume and is relevant to your business), save it to a keywords list. Note: If a keyword is super-relevant to your business, it makes sense to prioritise it, even if the search volume for that keyword is quite low. As I’ll mention later in this guide, search volume isn’t always the best indicator of traffic. However, it is a good starting point and it’s still worth looking at. See Other Keyword Ideas (Based on Your Seed Keywords) Right now, Ahrefs has the biggest keywords database in the industry. Because of this, Keywords Explorer will show you with a bunch (and I really do mean a bunch!) of other keyword ideas based on your seed keywords. Just hit one of these 6 options on the left-hand menu: Personally, I usually just select “all”. However, this will usually give you a few million keywords to play with (see, I told you they had a lot of data), which is pretty damn impossible to work with. So, I tend to play with the Keyword Difficulty (KD) filter to narrow them down. Your best bet is to filter for keywords with a KD score of less than 0. Why? Because anything below KD 0 means that top-ranking results have less than or equal to 0 backlinks on average, so it should be fairly easy to rank for them. I usually just tick anything that looks good and add it to my keywords list. And if you prefer to get a little more granular with your keyword suggestions, you can learn more about what “phrase match”, “having same terms”, etc. mean here. Note: Ahrefs presented me with 32K+ keyword suggestions from just the 8 keywords I entered above…so you certainly won’t be short of ideas! Find the Keywords/Topics that Send the Most Traffic to Your Competitors Enter a competitor’s domain into Site Explorer, then go to Organic search > Top Pages Here you will see which of your competitors pages are attracting the most organic search traffic. You’ll also see the top keyword that page ranks for, along with the search volume for that keyword. Note: It’s also worth paying attention to the RD (Referring Domains) column as this shows how many ref.domains are pointing to that page. If you can identify pages that receive a lot of traffic, yet only have a few RDs, it’s most likely a topic that you can rank for pretty easily! Pretty cool, right!? BUT it gets even better… This report also shows you all of the other keywords these pages rank for (in order of the amount of traffic they drive to your competitors page). This is not only useful for generating additional keyword ideas but also, finding keywords/topics/phrases that you can sprinkle into your content to increase relevance (i.e. LSI keywords). Analyse YOUR Competitors to Find Keyword “Content Gaps” Content gaps exist when your competitors rank for keywords that you don’t rank for. Think about it: If you could see what those keywords are, you could create content to compete with them (and ideally outrank them). Here’s how to find those keywords with Ahrefs: Enter your domain into Site Explorer, then go to Organic Search > Content Gap Now, enter the domains of (at least) three competitors plus your domain in the “but the following target doesn’t rank for” field. Hit “show keywords”. Bingo…here are hundreds of keywords that (at least) one of your competitors rank for, yet you don’t. Tip: Enter competitors with a similar Domain Rating (DR) score. This will ensure that the Content Gap analysis kicks back keywords you stand a chance of ranking for. If you enter Moz.com as a competitor and you have a DR 40 site, the sad truth is that you’re probably never going to outrank Moz. I recommend paying particular attention to any keywords where your competitors are ranking in the top 0. Why? Because if they’re ranking in the top 0, chances are you could, too! Keyword Prioritisation (PLUS How to Identify Low-Hanging Opportunities) At this stage, you should have a big list of keywords that you could try to rank for. BUT: Just because you can target these keywords doesn’t mean you should. Some will be easier to rank for than others (in fact, you may not even stand a hope in hell of ranking for some of them). Some will drive a lot of traffic (while others will drive very little). Some will require creating new content (others won’t). Analysing keywords for certain attributes will allow you to prioritise your list, and divide your ideas into long-term and short-term topics. Here are a few tips: Find Keywords That You’re Already Ranking for in Positions 4-6 Already ranking in positions 4-6 for some high-volume keywords? These are your low-hanging fruit. Why? Because CTR increases exponentially within the top 5 positions. Therefore, it only takes a ranking increase of one position to see BIG traffic boosts from these keywords. And improving rankings by -2 positions can be as simple as building a handful of high-quality links. But how do you find these keywords? Simple. Enter your site into Site Explorer, then go to Organic Search > Organic Keywords This will show you all of the keywords your website is currently ranking for. Note: By default, they’re ordered by the amount of organic traffic they send to your website—neat! But here’s the trick: Add a positions filter to show the keywords you’re currently ranking in positions 4-6. These keywords are your low-hanging fruit—they should be prioritised when it comes to on-page optimization and link building. Find Keywords AND Topics with High Traffic Potential Sometimes individual keywords won’t have a particularly high search volume. Example: “best keyword research tools” If you were to rank for this keyword, you would receive roughly 30% of these clicks. That’s a measly 75 visitors/month (approx.) Hardly worth bothering, right!? Not so fast. Looking at individual search volumes for a single keyword rarely shows you the true ranking potential of that topic. This is because pages almost always naturally rank for TONs of variations of that keyword (i.e. “long-tail keywords”). So how do you figure out the true ranking potential of a topic? Easy… Check how much organic traffic the top ranking pages for that keyword are getting. If it’s a lot, the topic/keyword has a high traffic potential. Here’s how: Go to Keywords Explorer and enter a keyword. Scroll down to the SERP overview and you’ll see who’s ranking in the top 0. You can also see how much organic traffic these top ranking pages are attracting (across all keywords). These are the SERPs for “best keyword research tool” and as you can see, the top ranking pages are getting WAY more than 75 visits/month. So, this topic DEFINITELY has a high traffic potential and is worth prioritising. Content Research Keyword research? Check. Keyword prioritisation? CHECK. (you’re off to a good start!) But…you ain’t going to rank for any of those keywords without creating some EPIC content around them. Obviously, some of the keywords you’ve found (e.g. the low-hanging opportunities in positions 4-6) won’t require new content. You just need to optimise—and build some extra links to—your existing content. For others, however, you’re going to need to create something new! BUT here’s the problem: It’s NOT always easy to discern exactly what you should be writing about solely by looking at a keyword. Example: Let’s take the keyword “keyword research”. It’s a great keyword with a ridiculously high search volume (at least for this niche). BUT, it’s also massively competitive. If I was to write a reasonably generic guide to keyword research, I probably wouldn��t stand a chance of ranking in the top 3 for this exact keyword. However, that doesn’t mean that I can’t write about keyword research at all…I just need to “niche down” a little and write a UNIQUE piece of content. Here’s how: Find UNIQUE, EASILY BEATABLE Content Ideas Using Content Explorer Ahrefs has an index of 800+ million pieces of content on various topics. They also add 5+ million new pieces of content to this index every 24 hours (which is absolutely INSANE). But, data and stats aside, what benefit does this have? Well, it means that you can enter (almost) any keyword into Content Explorer and it’ll kick back a TON of content ideas. Example: That’s 3900+ content ideas for “keyword research”. And this is only results where the phrase “keyword research” is in the article title… You can also search for content where the phrase is mentioned anywhere in the article content, which will return exponentially more results! BUT, like I said, it would be VERY difficult to rank for this exact keyword without “niching down”. This is because the “big guys” (e.g. Moz, Ahrefs, etc) are currently dominating the SERPs for this topic. However, we can use the in-built filters in content Explorer to find ideas that: We can actually compete with Will actually generate traffic for us Here’s the setup: Here’s exactly what we’re doing here (and why!): Filtering for only English results: Pretty self-explanatory, right!? Filtering ONLY for results from websites with a DR between 0-5 Because the DR of my website (matthewwoodward.co.uk) is also 59, I only want to see results for sites with the same (or lower) DR. Why? Because these are the sites I’ll be able to compete with easily. Filtering ONLY for pages with 500 organic visitors per month: This is the important part! By looking for pages that are receiving 500+ organic visits AND have very few links, we can uncover pages that will be VERY easy to outrank. Stealing their traffic will most likely require nothing more than creating better content and building a handful of links (at the most) Here’s what Content Explorer found for my search: This page talks about how to uncover keywords by looking at YouTube tags. It receives 525 organic visits per month, has 0 referring domains, and is 83 words long. If this isn’t easily beatable content, then I don’t know what is! Note: Remember, if your search doesn’t return many results, you can always find pages containing your keyword anywhere in the content (using the “in content”) filter to broaden your horizons. Find Content Ideas That People ACTUALLY Care About with Keywords Explorer Nobody understands search intent like Google does. Their algorithm relies on showing users what they want to see. Because of this, there’s no better way to understand the intent behind a search term (i.e. what people are actually looking to find) than analysing the top 0 search results. Example: Let’s take a keyword like “SEO tools”… Now, there are plenty of SEO tools—some free, some paid—on the market. If we wanted to rank for this keyword, maybe a winning formula for a piece of content would be to create a list of all of these SEO tools, right!? Again, not so fast. Let’s go to Keywords Explorer, enter the keyword, and scroll down to the SERP overview. This shows us the top 0 ranking results. Instantly, I spot a pattern… Although most of the results are lists of SEO tools, a lot of them are actually lists of free SEO tools. In fact, 7/0 results contain the word “free” in the title tag. This tells me that although people are generally typing in “SEO tools”, they actually appear to be looking for a list of the best free SEO tools. It would, therefore, be much smarter to go down this route when creating a piece of content around this keyword/topic. Also: Keywords Explorer tells us how many links (and referring domains) each of these pages has, allowing us to quickly spot topics with great potential to attract a TON of links. Link Building I’ll let you in on a (sad) secret: You ain’t going to rank for any worthwhile keyword/topic without links. Sure, less competitive keywords may only require a handful of links whereas more competitive keywords may require many more links (sometimes even thousands) but still, the bottomline is this: You. Need. Links. But here’s the good news: Ahrefs shines in this department. Not only do they boast the largest live link index on the market, they have a TON of tools that can help you with the task at hand. In fact, I don’t know any serious link builders that AREN’T using Ahrefs. It really is that good. Here are a few ways to use Ahrefs to build all the links you need: Use Branded Alerts to Reclaim Backlinks Remember those branded alerts I told you to set up at the beginning of this guide? If you set them up correctly, you’ve most likely received an email that looks something like this: Basically, this tells you whenever anyone mentions your name (or any other branded terms) on the web. So: If someone mentions you personally in a blog post, you’ll know about it. If someone talks about your brand (e.g. Apple) in a review, you’ll know about it. Etc. BUT: Just because someone has mentioned your name (or brand name) in a piece of content doesn’t necessarily mean that they remembered to link to you. And if they didn’t…getting the link is usually as easy as reaching out and asking for it. Example: If you look closely at the screenshot above, you’ll see that I was recently mentioned in this article about starting a membership website. Here’s the part where I’m mentioned: Weirdly, they didn’t link to the tutorial they mentioned in that paragraph. It’s highly likely that they simply forgot, or made a mistake. So: Getting a link from this article would likely take nothing more than a simple email asking them to add a link. Monitor TOPICAL Keyword Alerts (Then Convince People to Link to You) Monitoring branded keywords is a good start. BUT, that’s the tip of the iceberg… Here’s why: In Ahrefs Alerts, you can monitor for mentions of ANY keyword. For example, here’s an alert I set up for “link building”: Now, each week, I get an email from Ahrefs showing me any newly published content containing that term (i.e. link building) from the past 7 days. Example: That’s 93 new mentions of “link building” in just one week! BUT…how does this help to build links? Basically, you can use these alerts to discover content that could be improved by adding a link to your website (or a particular resource on your website). Example: Take a look at that 2nd article (the one by SearchEngineLand.com). It talks about “7 Reasons Why Your Broken Link Building Campaign Isn’t Working”… It’s a great article, BUT… I get the feeling that readers of this article are likely struggling with link building in general. Scrolling to the end of the post, it looks like the author also thinks this…that’s why he’s chosen to include a few links to additional link building resources. It just so happens that I also have a TON of great link building resources on my blog, such as this list of 44 link building strategies. Because this would also be a great additional resource to include at the end of that SEL post, I could simply reach out to the author of that post (Kevin) and suggest that he add a link to my post in that final section. This is a great, simple way to build links to any piece of content :) Monitor Competitor Links AND Brand Mentions You can learn a lot from your competitors. BUT… Did you know that monitoring your competitors can be a great source of link prospects? Basically, if you can identify where your competitors are being mentioned AND linked-to, you can often steal these links/mentions from yourself. Example: Here are the top 3 Google results for “long tail pro”: Right now, I’m ranking in position BUT…I’d really like to rank . This means that my competitors for this keyword are longtailpro.com and dumbpassiveincome.com. Now: Right off the bat, I could throw these URLs into Ahrefs Site Explorer, look at their backlinks, and see if there are any easily replicable links I could steal for myself. BUT…that’s a different strategy altogether! What I want to talk about is monitoring both competitor links AND branded keywords to give you a constant supply of link opportunities. So, let’s start with backlink monitoring: Like I said, one of my competitors is dumbpassiveincome.com—they have a similar Long Tail Pro review to mine. However, I personally believe my review to be better. I also updated my review very recently, so it’s super fresh. I, therefore, believe that anyone choosing to link to my competitors Long Tail Pro review would be better off linking to mine. So, I want to monitor my competitors review for new links. If they get any, I can then reach out to the person linking to them and suggest that they link to my review instead (as it’s better). Here’s how to set up an alert for these links: Go to the Backlinks section within Ahrefs Alerts and hit “+ New Alert”. Enter the URL of the page you want to monitor for backlinks, choose “New backlinks” under the “Scope” option, and enter your email address. You’ll now receive an email whenever there’s a new link to your competitor’s URL—you can then swoop in and steal the link for yourself. BUT…competitor backlinks aren’t the only thing worth monitoring: You can also monitor competitors branded keywords. Example: Because I have a review of Long Tail Pro, it would be worth setting up an alert for branded keywords like “Long Tail Pro”. Here’s why: If someone is mentioning Long Tail Pro on the web, their readers would find a review and tutorial for the tool rather useful. So, whenever I see Long Tail Pro being mentioned, I can simply reach out to the website owner and suggest they add a link to my review within their post. Easy. Here’s how to set this up: Go to the Mentions section of Ahrefs Alerts and hit “+ New Alert”. Add your keyword, add any blocked domains (e.g. your own website), and your email address. Now you’ll receive an email alert whenever your keyword (e.g. “long tail pro”) is mentioned on the web. Find “Skyscraper” Link Building Opportunities (AND Prospects) Ahh, the infamous “skyscraper technique”… It’s perhaps the most famous link-building technique there is! And for good reason, too—it’s super powerful! For those unfamiliar, here’s the basic process: Find a piece of content with a TON of links. Make something even better. Contact anyone linking to the old, inferior piece of content and suggest that they link to yours instead. Smart. Note: Here’s Brian’s full post on the Skyscraper Technique. BUT… How do you find “skyscraper” content (i.e. content with a TON of links that you can build upon) in the first place? Here’s a super simple method: Enter a well-known competitors domain into Site Explorer, then go to Pages > Best by Links You will now see every page on the domain ordered by # of backlinks. The two posts I’ve highlighted above have thousands of backlinks. If I was to put-together an even better version of any of these posts, I would have thousands of prospects to pitch to! Note: You can gather a list of “skyscraper” prospects by checking the backlink profile of that particular URL in Site Explorer. Just sift through all the links and choose prospects to reach out to. BUT… What if you already have an EPIC piece of content and you want to build some links to it? Here’s a simple trick that I haven’t seen anyone talk about before: Enter a keyword into Content Explorer, then filter ONLY for pages with 00+ referring domains. Example: Let’s say that I wanted to build some links to my list of 44 link building strategies. I would enter the keyword “link building strategies” into Content Explorer and add a referring domains filter. This gives me 76 results—all of these are (a) about link building strategies, and (b) have 00+ referring domains. Now, the trick is then to sift through the results looking for content that is very similar—yet inferior to—your content. Here’s a good example: This page has 09 referring domains, yet it only lists 3 strategies where mine lists 44. It also hasn’t been updated since 204! Anyone linking to this page is a prime “skyscraper” prospect for my post—I just need to reach out and suggest they change the link to my page (and tell them why they should). Broken Backlink Building (with the top pages – 404 report) Nobody likes broken links. You know the ones… They take you to pages like this: It drives me crazy whenever this happens! BUT… Broken links are a link-builders dream. Why? Because if you can find a broken link with a TON of backlinks, you can build links with this simple 3-step process: Find out what the broken link used to be Create a similar—but better—piece of content Ask anyone linking to the broken content to link to your content instead However, before you can do this, you need to actually find a broken link with the following attributes: It has a TON of links pointing to it It’s relevant to your website It can be replicated without too much work Here’s how to do this: Enter a well-known competitors domain into Site Explorer, then go to Pages > Best by Links. This shows you the most linked-to pages on that domain. BUT…we don’t want to see all pages—we want to see broken pages. To do this, filter the list to show ONLY 404 errors. Most websites will have at least a few broken links. Simply sift through these pages looking for broken links that have a decent number of backlinks AND would be relevant to your website. Note: You can use Wayback Machine to see how any page used to look. If you identify a page that meets all of the criteria mentioned above, create a similar piece of content then publish it on your website. It’s then just a case of reaching out to anyone linking to the old broken link and suggesting that they fix the link by replacing it with your link. Simple. Find Worthwhile Guest Post Prospects Guest posting is one of the oldest link building tactics in the book. It goes something like this: Find websites that accept guest posts (in your niche) Reach out to them and pitch a post idea Write the post, land the link If you’ve ever done guest posting before, you’ll know there’s no shortage of opportunities around. Example: Google finds 4,000+ “write for us” pages (i.e. websites that are accepting guest posts) for search term “SEO”. That’s a LOT of prospects! BUT there’s a problem… While you could write for thousands of websites, it’s important to remember that guest posting takes a lot of work. Not only do you have to pitch the websites, you also have to write a top notch article, too. This can be pretty time-consuming (or, if you’re outsourcing it, expensive!) And, because we want people to actually read our guest post, there’s ZERO point writing posts for websites that get little/no traffic. So, the question is: how do you know how much traffic a website gets? Simple…just enter the domain into Site Explorer and Ahrefs will show you an estimate of organic traffic. BUT…what if you have a long list of prospects? No worries, just paste the entire list into Ahrefs Batch Analysis tool like so: Note: Make sure to select the option for “domain with all its subdomains” under the mode drop-down. Here’s the result (ordered by organic search traffic): This is a great way to cut down your list and ensure that you’re ONLY writing for websites that actually get traffic! Site Audit Keyword discovery and research…DONE. Content creation…DONE. Link building…DONE! (well, link building is never done, but you should have at least made a start!) Here’s the good news: that’s most of the difficult stuff out of the way. But, even if you’ve executed everything perfectly thus far, the truth is that simple on-site errors can often hinder your success. I’m talking about rogue “noindex” tags… Missing meta descriptions… Thin content… And so forth. This is where Ahrefs Site Audit tool comes in handy. In a nutshell, it will diagnose pretty much every on-site issue you could think of, without you really having to lift a finger. Here are a few useful things you can do with it: Note: I’m not going to cover how to set up a project or run crawls in the Site Audit tool because, honestly, it’s pretty self-explanatory. But, if you’re struggling, this post (by Ahrefs) explains exactly how to do it, along with a lot more! Find Slow Loading Pages (Using the Performance Report) Go to Internal Pages > Performance and you will see a report that looks something like this: At first glance, this may appear as nothing more than a myriad of pie charts. But, this is actually showing you the number of pages on your website that are slow to load, in various ways. I recommend paying particular attention to the “Load time” chart: The red section of the pie chart shows the number of pages that are too slow to load (and thus, need fixing). If you click on the red section, you will see exactly which pages these are, along with how slowly they actually load: One cool thing to note here is that Ahrefs also shows you the amount of organic traffic these pages are receiving. If you spot a slow loading page that is receiving a lot of traffic (like my Buzzbundle review, for example), I recommend prioritising the speeding-up of that page. Why? Because chances are it will attract even more traffic if you improve the visitor experience. Find HTML Tag Issues (e.g. Rogue “Noindex” Tags) with the HTML Tags Report Mistakes with HTML tags can wreak havoc on your website. For example, if you accidentally add a noindex tag to a page, Google won’t even index that page. This means that even if you write great content and build epic links, it ain’t going to rank. And, while not all HTML tag errors are potentially this catastrophic, they’re still worth fixing. Ahrefs’ Site Audit tool makes this super-easy, as it uncovers all the errors for you. To view them, just go to Internal Pages > HTML Tags: Here, it will list all of the issues the crawler has found with your website. In the example above, you can see that I have a few missing meta tags, along with a few other errors. To learn more about where these errors actually occur, just click on one of the errors: It will then tell you more information about the errors, including the pages on which the errors occur: Because Ahrefs does the hard work for you (i.e. the discovery of these errors), you can usually fix them pretty easily just by editing a bit of HTML code. Find Incoming and Outgoing Link Issues (e.g. Broken Outbound Links) with the Incoming/Outgoing Links Reports Earlier in this guide, I showed you how to check for (and remove) toxic backlinks. This is super-important. But, there are other link-based issues that can impact the performance of your website. I’m talking about broken outgoing links… “Nofollow” internal links… HTTPS pages internally linking to HTTP pages… And so forth. Luckily, the Incoming and Outgoing Links reports in the Site Audit tool will help you to uncover and fix these issues. Let’s start by taking a look at the Incoming Links report: In this example, you can see that there are a few issues with my website—namely nofollowed internal links. This isn’t always cause for concern but generally, your internal links should be used to send “link juice” to important and relevant pages. Therefore, they should be dofollow links. Note: I have a full guide on internal linking best practices here. If you click any of these errors, you will see exactly where they reside: Let’s take a look at the Outgoing Links report, too: Again, we have a few errors, including: Pages that link out to broken pages (these should be replaced and fixed!) HTTPS pages linking to unsecure internal pages (this is definitely not the best practice!) Pages without outgoing links (some studies have found outgoing links to have a positive effect on rankings) If you want to investigate an error further (and see exactly where the error occurs), just click through to take a look. And this is only the tip of the iceberg—there are plenty of supporting graphs, data visualisations, and other pieces of information in these reports. Recommended reading: This is the new Site Audit tool by Ahrefs (an overview of the Site Audit tool written by Tim Soulo from Ahrefs) Analysing Your Progress/Success SEO is hard work. That’s why it’s important to keep your eye on progress and make sure that the grunt work is having a positive impact on your website. Google Analytics will be your best bet here. BUT…if you’re anything like me, you’ll probably end up seeing your Ahrefs dashboard much more than your Google Analytics account. So: Here are a few things to look for in Ahrefs to make sure you’re heading in the right direction: Increased Domain Rating (DR) AND Decreased Ahrefs Rank Are you building a consistent flow of links to your website? If so, you should see your Domain Rating (DR) increase over time. Here’s what it looks like on your dashboard: If it increases, you’ll see a green arrow appear alongside this number with the amount of points it’s increased (much like with the URL rating below). Similarly, you should start to see your Ahrefs Rank decrease. Basically, the lower your Ahrefs Rank is, the better, so keep an eye on it. Note: Don’t obsess over these metrics. However, they are a decent indicator as to the overall status of your website. Improved Rankings (for Your Tracked Keywords) Remember during the Ahrefs setup process when I told you to track a bunch of your top keywords in Ahrefs? Well, that’s because these keywords also show up in your dashboard, like this: Basically, this shows how many of your tracked keywords are ranking in the top -3, 4-0, -20, and 2-50 search results. As rankings improve, they’ll show up here. This is my personal favourite way to keep an eye on what really matters—if I see improvements here, I know that my traffic is probably increasing, too. Of course, if you want to take a more granular look at keyword rankings (with graphs and whatnot), you can use Ahrefs Rank Tracker. This can also show you some super-cool data such as the number of featured snippets you own, and much more. Useful Tools (That Work with Ahrefs) Before I wrap this up, I want to mention a handful of tools that incorporate Ahrefs data. I know from talking to Tim (Soulo) that Ahrefs are very picky about which tools they allow to use their data. That’s why this list is quite short. Here are the tools I can personally vouch for: URL Profiler: Pulls in a bunch of metrics (including Ahrefs metrics) for a list of URLs. This is one of my personal favourites. Free trial available here. Ninja Outreach: Use the free trial of this tool to contact thosuands of backlink opportunities/broken backlinks itc in a couple of clicks. They have a range of link building email templates built in! Screaming Frog: Industry-leading crawling tool. A must-have for anyone who’s serious about SEO. It now also allows you to pull in metrics (e.g. DR, Ahrefs Rank, etc.) from Ahrefs directly. More details here. Link Miner (Chrome Extension): Analyse and extract links from any web page. Perfect for finding broken links and quickly assessing them by pulling in metrics from Ahrefs. SeoTools for Excel: Excel add-on that’s absolutely packed with functionality. If you want to pull Ahrefs metrics directly into your spreadsheets, this one is for you! More details here. And here are a few more tools that integrate Ahrefs data (although I haven’t tested these personally). Wrapping It Up Ahrefs is an incredible tool. Not just for link-building, but for (almost) everything else, too. Seriously, if I was limited to using only one SEO tool forever, Ahrefs would probably be my choice. BUT…enough with the praise… Here’s a quick recap of my surefire process for increasing traffic in my Ahrefs review- Make sure your website is healthy (i.e. there are no bad-backlinks, broken links, etc) Look for “Dodgy” Links in the Backlinks and Referring Domains Reports Look for Unnatural Anchor Text Issues Look for LOTS of Links from the Same C-block IPs Find (AND Fix) Broken Backlinks Remove ALL Low-Quality (or Irrelevant) Outbound Links Fix Broken Outbound Links Find all of the best keywords Pop a Few “Seed” Keywords into Keywords Explorer See Other Keyword Ideas (Based on Your Seed Keywords) Find the Keywords/Topics that Send the Most Traffic to Your Competitors / VIDEO TUTORIAL Analyse YOUR Competitors to Find Keyword “Content Gaps” Prioritise your keywords AND find low-hanging fruit (i.e. quick-win opportunities) Find Keywords That You’re Already Ranking for in Positions 4-6 Find Keywords AND Topics with High Traffic Potential Research and create some EPIC content Find UNIQUE, EASILY BEATABLE Content Ideas Using Content Explorer Find Content Ideas That People ACTUALLY Care About with Keywords Explorer Build links to your EPIC content Use Branded Alerts to Reclaim Backlinks Monitor TOPICAL Keyword Alerts (Then Convince People to Link to You) Monitor Competitor Links AND Brand Mentions Find “Skyscraper” Link Building Opportunities (AND Prospects) Broken Backlink Building (with the top pages – 404 report) / VIDEO TUTORIAL Find Worthwhile Guest Post Prospects Complete a site audit and fix all outstanding issues Use The Site Audit Tool To Find Every SEO Problem Find Slow Loading Pages (Using the Performance Report) Find HTML Tag Issues (e.g. Rogue “Noindex” Tags) with the HTML Tags Report Find Incoming and Outgoing Link Issues (e.g. Broken Outbound Links) with the Incoming/Outgoing Links Reports Keep an eye on your progress and make sure you’re on the right track! Increased Domain Rating (DR) AND Decreased Ahrefs Rank Improved Rankings (for Your Tracked Keywords) Do this, in this order, and you won’t go far wrong! How do you use Ahrefs in your SEO campaigns?
