frill fell back asleep but i didnt yet so im just thinking about how if this website and app wasnt actively falling apart at the seams as it does i dont know when or if frill and i wouldve ever made that first move on the other. and now we're ENGAGED
#thank you tumblr you awful awful website#we both reblogged a valentines day themed ask game and frill sent me the do you have a crush on anyone question (and yes. i did)#so i wanted to send it back but i didnt want them to know it was ME that woyld be too suspicious.#so i sent it on anon instead. and frills notifs glitched at one point and for half a second displayed a random fucking url#hard to explain but it happened to me also at some point so i knew what they were talking about when they mentioned it#and i was like actually..... that was me that sent that i dont know ehat tumblr was doing there#and then that night frill sent me a message with both our answers of 'yes i have a crush on someone' and was like. hey. are we being stupid#and we WERE we were both referring to each other.. but if tumblr never got me to admit i was the anon who knows if we wouldve ever realized#i genuinely owe this shitty website my life. everything is so different and ive never been happier or in a better place#ispent so long thinking about this and writing this post its now FIVE am and my tummy doesnt hurt anymore#if you'll excuse me i am going to go cuddle the shit out of my fiancee now (gently so i dont wake them up)

37: tattoos and piercing i want definitely the black widow symbol in the same place Scarlett got her og6 tattoo, an amino acid tattoo that spells out “wah” , definitely more little tattoos! And maybe more ear piercings idk
38: the reason i joined tumblr so, I’ve had a tumblr for many many years. I originally joined bc my best friends at the time had them, and i was like sure! Ive deleted that personal blog since, and started my new personal blog a few years ago. I also have a studyblr that i started i think back in high school, and i just started this blog back in the end of July!
39: do i and my last ex hate each other no, I’d say far from it bc i likes her a lot

43: how long does it take me to get ready in the morning it depends, anywhere from ten minutes to an hour and a half
44: have you shaved your legs in the past three days no! I am super lucky and have really light colored hairs on my legs and so i dont’ have to shave very often. Also i just want to say that i personally love shaving my legs and it is my choice to do so.. girls, you do not need to shave!!

50: do i have someone of the opposite sex i can tell everything to no. I used to
51: how often do i wear a fake smile this is a really interesting question. I don’t consider smiles i give to random people like ordering food or something to be fake, so i would say fake smiles are when I’m not okay and trying to hide it. Which happens less often now bc I’m just much happier of a person
52: when was the last time i hugged someone I think it was @michelinaamour two days ago but i think i hugged @cloversofshea that day too so

62: do i prefer talking on the phone or video chatting online I’d say talking on the phone bc then they cant’ see me lmao

Avi's making me answer all of them so now you have to, too. All the ones no one else asks you.
why do i even reblog these things when i know one of you are gonna do this
am i a masochist
I’ll try to give solid answers.
1) Sexuality?
i dont know not straight but not gay and also probably not bi because i dont just look at people of both sexes and think “damn id tap that”
2) If you could meet anyone on this earth, who would it be?
ben stiller probably
3) Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 23, give me line 17.
i took vantas’ book because it became the one closest to me
“’That is such a bizarre request I have to agree to do it.’“
4) What do you think about most?
what im doing with my life and why i picked the most unsteady and risky career choice ever and if ill end up fucked because of it
5) What does your latest text message from someone else say?
“We’re meeting at Think Coffee at four. Come with us.”
6) Do you sleep with or without clothes on?
usually with at least boxers on but sometimes naked
7) What’s your strangest talent?
i used to get into rap battles with kids in my high school class i like to think im talented enough to declare it a talent
8) Girls…. (finish the sentence); Boys…. (finish the sentence)
girls dont like boys girls like cars and money. boys will laugh at girls when theyre not funny
9) Ever had a poem or song written about you?
ive had a diss rap written about me on a few occasions if that counts
10) When is the last time you played the air guitar?
probably a year ago i dont keep track of my intense solo shower performances
11) Do you have any strange phobias?
i dont know if either of these count since they mostly just make me uncomfortable but silence bugs me and so does the solo sound of clockwork
12) Ever stuck a foreign object up your nose?
no but once i got a stick stuck up it because of someone else
13) What’s your religion?
athiest i guess? like i dont really believe in god or in any higher power otherwise wed have been snuffed out for being pieces of shit long ago
14) If you are outside, what are you most likely doing?
taking pictures or carryin a drink or running when its too damn early and too damn cold
15) Do you prefer to be behind the camera or in front of it?
behind it for sure
16) Simple but extremely complex. Favorite band?
that changes by the day. today a band i listened to a lot was son lux
17) What was the last lie you told?
that it was fine
18) Do you believe in karma?
only when im mad
19) What does your URL mean?
i mean
read it
20) What is your greatest weakness; your greatest strength?
i asked vantas and he said the answer to both is “my eagerness to please” which i dont know if i agree with but i dont have a better answer
21) Who is your celebrity crush?
who ISNT my celebrity crush is a better question

4 Ahrefs and SEMrush alternatives that bring innovation to competitive analysis
Let me start by saying I love SEMrush and Ahrefs. I use them both on a daily basis and cannot imagine my life without them.
Through their awesome technology and studies, the two tools have contributed an impressive amount of value to SEO community. If you are already using the tools, by all means keep them!
Why then explore alternatives to SEMrush and Ahrefs?
Well, I have two strong arguments behind this article:
You can never have enough of SEO research tools: Each of them adds something unique and different to the analysis process. Sometimes, when I am stuck, all I need to do is to try a new tool. Either through a fresh layout or an innovative feature (more on this below), I am always able to discover new solutions to old and new SEO problems.
Competition drives innovation. And there’s no shortage of both in the SEO niche, thankfully. Thanks to the following strong emerging or re-developed solutions, our industry is getting smarter. That’s been amazing to watch and that’s something I am going to highlight below:
1. Serpstat
Serpstat is one of the most successful newcomers in the SEO industry. It was introduced just a couple of years ago and already has a strong community of raving supporters (including yours truly)
Let’s take a quick look at standard SEO competitive intelligence features they are offering:
SERP analytics (Keyword Explorer): Yes (Check out the variety of filters allowing to drill down the results)
Ranking monitoring: Yes
Backlink analysis + monitoring: Yes
Content gap analysis (Domain vs Domain): Yes
Content gap analysis (URL vs URL): Yes
Top pages: Yes
Multi-language support: Yes
Serpstats’ best unique feature you’ll love: Text Analytics
Text Analytics is the smart extension of Serpstat’s keyword clustering feature which I talked about earlier. It analyzes your competitor’s content for your given query and returns some on-page content recommendations for you to implement:
The important thing here is, Serpstat advises against keyword density or exact-matching. It uses semantic analysis to thoroughly analyze competing content and transforms the analysis into actionable recommendations for your writing team to follow.
2. Rankedy
Rankedy is one of the newest SEO suites out there (I think it may still be in private beta) but I strongly suggest going and requesting your trial. I am sure they are up to something really unique. They are not trying to offer competing solutions but instead working on something completely unique: applying machine learning to many standard SEO analyses they offer.
They are building some competitive intelligence features:
SERP analytics (Keyword Explorer): Partial
Ranking monitoring: Yes (With very cool email alerts, also with mobile ranking monitoring)
Backlink analysis + monitoring: Coming soon
Content gap analysis (Domain vs Domain): Yes
Content gap analysis (URL vs URL): No
Top pages: No
Multi-language support: Yes
Rankedy’s best unique feature you’ll love: Topic Orientation
I’ve never seen this done before, so I was very intrigued to try. The tool grabs the top 100 competing domains ranking for your core queries, analyzes their content and compares it to yours. It then shows how well you did matching the topic classifications (and which areas yours needs improvement).
The goal is that your content overlaps with your competitors’ content in core concepts Rankedy has identified for you. Otherwise it may be mismatched (and it must be the reason why your page gets over-ranked).
[Example: Rankedy took the query [website building], fetched content of my top competitors, classified it and found that my competitors’ top-ranking content includes the following classes “Business”, “Machine”, “Product” and “Design.” My site content matched nothing of those, so my landing page content needs work]
I think it’s a very fresh look at competitive analysis. That’s definitely a tool to look out for.
3. SpyFu
Spyfu is one of the oldest multi-feature SEO solutions out there. Its PPC analysis is probably the smartest in the industry and it’s very well set up. Let’s go through our standard list of features:
SERP analytics (Keyword Explorer): Yes
Ranking monitoring: Yes (SpyFu “Ranking History” saves the snapshot of rankings for best and lost ranks)
Backlink analysis + monitoring: Yes
Content gap analysis (Domain vs Domain): Yes
Content gap analysis (URL vs URL): No
Top pages: No
Multi-language support: No (SpyFu supports only US and UK)
SpyFu’s best unique feature you’ll love: Organic Ranking History
SpyFu’s Organic Ranking History is my favorite way to explore any organic query. It gives you a graphical representation of what Google organic SERPs looked like for any given domain (e.g. your competitor):
See its new keywords
See its lost rankings
See which queries it fell from top 10 for, etc.
All of that overlaid by various Google updates which could have accounted for the ranking change.
Some domains are being tracked as far back as ~2008 – this is an incredible amount of data!
Check out their other project that will likely blow your mind: Nacho Analytics
4. CognitiveSEO
Just a few weeks ago CognitiveSEO has re-launched its Site Audit tool and the SEO community couldn’t have been happier.
I am not yet as familiar with the new suite as well I’d like to be (as it’s pretty new) but it looks awesome so far:
SERP analytics (Keyword Explorer): Yes
Ranking monitoring: Yes
Backlink analysis + monitoring: Yes
Content gap analysis (Domain vs Domain): No
Content gap analysis (URL vs URL): No
Top pages: Yes (+Most linked to + shared pages)
Multi-language support: Yes
CognitiveSEO’s best unique feature you’ll love: Broken links research
Broken link building research has never been easier: Type in your competitor’s domain and click through “Broken Pages” tab. The tool will show you the list of your competitor’s pages that receive backlinks. Now all you need to do is build a better page and go fix those links to direct them to your site.
Sneaky? Maybe but totally ethical and even valuable (I like to think of broken link building as fixing the web!)
Ahrefs and SEMrush alternatives at a glance:

Rankedy

SpyFu

Cognitive SEO

Notes:
*SERPs Analytics (Keyword Explorer) is a bit different from platform (going back to my point that each tool brings something new to the point). For example, some platforms offer “Keyword difficulty” metric to help you estimate competition, some try and calculate “relevancy”, some focus on keyword extension to help you find lower-competitive queries (here are the basics of how that works), and some let you use filters to research SERP features. They all do offer free trials, so go ahead and pick your favorite SERP analytics.
This article focuses on competitive intelligence, i.e. tools that help you analyze and learn from your competition to outperform it. But each platform above has something else to offer, beyond competition research, e.g. site auditing, site health monitoring, and more. So again, make sure to play with all the features!

The tool will show you the list of your competitor’s pages that receive backlinks. Now all you need to do is build a better page and go fix those links to direct them to your site.
Sneaky? Maybe but totally ethical and even valuable (I like to think of broken link building as fixing the web!)

*SERPs Analytics (Keyword Explorer) is a bit different from platform (going back to my point that each tool brings something new to the point). For example, some platforms offer “Keyword difficulty” metric to help you estimate competition, some try and calculate “relevancy”, some focus on keyword extension to help you find lower-competitive queries (here are the basics of how that works), and some let you use filters to research SERP features. They all do offer free trials, so go ahead and pick your favorite SERP analytics.
This article focuses on competitive intelligence, i.e. tools that help you analyze and learn from your competition to outperform it. But each platform above has something else to offer, beyond competition research, e.g. site auditing, site health monitoring, and more. So again, make sure to play with all the features!

4 Ahrefs and SEMrush alternatives that bring innovation to competitive analysis
Let me start by saying I love SEMrush and Ahrefs. I use them both on a daily basis and cannot imagine my life without them.
Through their awesome technology and studies, the two tools have contributed an impressive amount of value to SEO community. If you are already using the tools, by all means keep them!
Why then explore alternatives to SEMrush and Ahrefs?
Well, I have two strong arguments behind this article:
You can never have enough of SEO research tools: Each of them adds something unique and different to the analysis process. Sometimes, when I am stuck, all I need to do is to try a new tool. Either through a fresh layout or an innovative feature (more on this below), I am always able to discover new solutions to old and new SEO problems.
Competition drives innovation. And there’s no shortage of both in the SEO niche, thankfully. Thanks to the following strong emerging or re-developed solutions, our industry is getting smarter. That’s been amazing to watch and that’s something I am going to highlight below:
1. Serpstat
Serpstat is one of the most successful newcomers in the SEO industry. It was introduced just a couple of years ago and already has a strong community of raving supporters (including yours truly)
Let’s take a quick look at standard SEO competitive intelligence features they are offering:
SERP analytics (Keyword Explorer): Yes (Check out the variety of filters allowing to drill down the results)
Ranking monitoring: Yes
Backlink analysis + monitoring: Yes
Content gap analysis (Domain vs Domain): Yes
Content gap analysis (URL vs URL): Yes
Top pages: Yes
Multi-language support: Yes
Serpstats’ best unique feature you’ll love: Text Analytics
Text Analytics is the smart extension of Serpstat’s keyword clustering feature which I talked about earlier. It analyzes your competitor’s content for your given query and returns some on-page content recommendations for you to implement:
The important thing here is, Serpstat advises against keyword density or exact-matching. It uses semantic analysis to thoroughly analyze competing content and transforms the analysis into actionable recommendations for your writing team to follow.
2. Rankedy
Rankedy is one of the newest SEO suites out there (I think it may still be in private beta) but I strongly suggest going and requesting your trial. I am sure they are up to something really unique. They are not trying to offer competing solutions but instead working on something completely unique: applying machine learning to many standard SEO analyses they offer.
They are building some competitive intelligence features:
SERP analytics (Keyword Explorer): Partial
Ranking monitoring: Yes (With very cool email alerts, also with mobile ranking monitoring)
Backlink analysis + monitoring: Coming soon
Content gap analysis (Domain vs Domain): Yes
Content gap analysis (URL vs URL): No
Top pages: No
Multi-language support: Yes
Rankedy’s best unique feature you’ll love: Topic Orientation
I’ve never seen this done before, so I was very intrigued to try. The tool grabs the top 100 competing domains ranking for your core queries, analyzes their content and compares it to yours. It then shows how well you did matching the topic classifications (and which areas yours needs improvement).
The goal is that your content overlaps with your competitors’ content in core concepts Rankedy has identified for you. Otherwise it may be mismatched (and it must be the reason why your page gets over-ranked).
[Example: Rankedy took the query [website building], fetched content of my top competitors, classified it and found that my competitors’ top-ranking content includes the following classes “Business”, “Machine”, “Product” and “Design.” My site content matched nothing of those, so my landing page content needs work]
I think it’s a very fresh look at competitive analysis. That’s definitely a tool to look out for.
3. SpyFu
Spyfu is one of the oldest multi-feature SEO solutions out there. Its PPC analysis is probably the smartest in the industry and it’s very well set up. Let’s go through our standard list of features:
SERP analytics (Keyword Explorer): Yes
Ranking monitoring: Yes (SpyFu “Ranking History” saves the snapshot of rankings for best and lost ranks)
Backlink analysis + monitoring: Yes
Content gap analysis (Domain vs Domain): Yes
Content gap analysis (URL vs URL): No
Top pages: No
Multi-language support: No (SpyFu supports only US and UK)
SpyFu’s best unique feature you’ll love: Organic Ranking History
SpyFu’s Organic Ranking History is my favorite way to explore any organic query. It gives you a graphical representation of what Google organic SERPs looked like for any given domain (e.g. your competitor):
See its new keywords
See its lost rankings
See which queries it fell from top 10 for, etc.
All of that overlaid by various Google updates which could have accounted for the ranking change.
Some domains are being tracked as far back as ~2008 – this is an incredible amount of data!
Check out their other project that will likely blow your mind: Nacho Analytics
4. CognitiveSEO
Just a few weeks ago CognitiveSEO has re-launched its Site Audit tool and the SEO community couldn’t have been happier.
I am not yet as familiar with the new suite as well I’d like to be (as it’s pretty new) but it looks awesome so far:
SERP analytics (Keyword Explorer): Yes
Ranking monitoring: Yes
Backlink analysis + monitoring: Yes
Content gap analysis (Domain vs Domain): No
Content gap analysis (URL vs URL): No
Top pages: Yes (+Most linked to + shared pages)
Multi-language support: Yes
CognitiveSEO’s best unique feature you’ll love: Broken links research
Broken link building research has never been easier: Type in your competitor’s domain and click through “Broken Pages” tab. The tool will show you the list of your competitor’s pages that receive backlinks. Now all you need to do is build a better page and go fix those links to direct them to your site.
