2024.05.15 00:05 ilusiumgame Need help selecting a new hairstyle
 | Well, it's been too long since I last had a haircut. Typically, I trim the ends on the longer part on top, and keep the sides short. I wear my hair either down or in a bun. submitted by ilusiumgame to Hair [link] [comments] I'm open to exploring other styles that might suit me (and don’t have much ideas tbh), so I'm open to any suggestions :) |
2024.05.14 23:56 OFD_64 Need a new hairstyle :)
 | I'll keep it short, I'm getting my hair cut later this week and I want something new. I've had a side part forever, but I don't like it. My hair is longer but flat and straight. There is no texture on top. I also have trouble getting it to stay in place. Any suggested styles/cuts? submitted by OFD_64 to beauty [link] [comments] |

Here's a list of some recent Wizard101 YouTubers (Wiztubers) that I've put together to help introduce the community to new content creators. Keep in mind, this isn't an exhaustive list, and if you have any channels you'd like to recommend, please share them in the comments below! Also, feel free to vouch for any of these Wiztubers if you're a fan. Remember, these are just my descriptions, so I encourage you to explore each channel for yourself:
AwesomeTheSauce (PvP/Commentary/Guides) - I'm sure most of you guys know this but ATS is one of the largest wiztubers that has been making content for several years and shows no sign of slowing down. He primarily makes PvP content and livestreams daily. He streams himself covering new updates/releases and commentary videos on upcoming updates, feedback, etc.
Faeriequeens (PvE/Commentary/Community Events) - Faeriqueens has been with the wiz community for a while. She has a ton of videos which are very humorous to watch and she does also livestream occasionally as well. Although her channel is not exclusively wizard101, she does post majority wiz content and her non wizard101 content are still great to watch.
Zerritt (PvE/Commentary/Speedruns & Challenges) - Zeritt is a newer wiztuber and has been growing pretty quick in the wizard101 community with a ton of really insightful and great videos. He does occasionally livestream questing and unique questing challenges for his videos. Good at making wiz memes.
Goomay (PvE/PvP/Commentary/Community Events/Speedruns & Challenges) - Goomay is a goated wiztuber although he mainly livestreams on twitch rather than make youtube content. His streams are very fun to watch and he does a lot of engaging activities with his community. Also good at making wiz memes.
LiahmIsaVibe (PvE/PvP/Commentary/Guides) - Liahm is popular PvPer that also has a lot of interesting commentary videos that I love to watch. Does doompost frequently but overall has valuable insights to offer.
Kaiser Noah (PvE/Commentary/Guides) - Kaiser Noah is definitely my top pick for youtubers because his commentary videos are such calm and great content to watch while playing the game. He stated that he quit but recently has came back a little for his commentaries & reviews but I hope he sticks around because his videos are addicting to watch.
Zaepha (PvE/Commentary/Guides) - Zaepha is a great wiztuber that helps the community out with guides and a ton of insightful commentary videos. She has a great sense of humor and definitely makes it great to binge watch her content.
DaRealAlmond (PvE/Commentary/Guides) - DaRealAlmond one of my favorites because his videos are such a vibe to listen to and he does give a lot of great insights and feedback to the game. He recently unfortunately made a video of him going to slow down content creation but hopefully he still sticks with us.
JamesTheAce (PvP/Commentary/Guides) - James has been making wiz content for a while now and although he hasn't been posting much, his videos are definitely a recommendation to watch for those into PvP, althoiugh he can also doompost like Liahm sometimes.
Froggys (PvE/Commentary/Speedruns & Challenges) - Froggys doesn't upload as much as the others, but definitely pushed out a lot of great commentary and challenge pieces on wizard101. Has some sarcastic humor in his videos which definitely makes his videos fun to watch!
Gladrocker (Beastmoon & Deckathalon/Commentary) - Gladrocker is not a youtuber with a lot of wizard101 content, but still recently surfaced with amazing videos such as the iceberg series, beastmoon guides, and some intriguing game related stuff. Definitely a choice to watch as you quest through the game.
Cheervalx (PvE/Commentary/Guides) - Cheervalx has a ton of wiz content you can watch and also participate in with her livestreams. She's another great wiztuber to watch for guides, tips, and tutorials. She also does a lot of commentary videos and covers all the updates and releases.
Kore & Boar Tech (PvE/Commentary/Guides) - Kore and Boar are definitely great guys that make a ton of amazing videos with a great sense of humor added to it. They are definitely worth to binge watch their content.
Tntosion (PvE/Commentary/Guides) - Tntosion is a great wiztuber for her commentary videos on wizard101 and what makes her videos addicting is how well edited they are. Great channel I recommend.
WOWKay (PvE/Commentary) - WOWKay is new to wizard101 and her walkthrough videos are hilarious to watch. She's very casual to the game and her unhinged commentaries are definitely great to watch.
Cizorj & Richard Unicorn Caller (PvE/Commentary/Guides) - Great channel to get wiz news from and he also makes a lot of great commentary videos overall!
Genevie Moongarden (PvE/Commmentary/Guides) - Genevie is definitely the go to wiztuber for review and updates on wizard101. She also does make a lot of other wizard101 content that's great to watch!
Wenius (PvE/Commentary/Guides) - Wenius has been making wizard101 walkthroughs that are great and fun to watch and has made a lot of guides for the wiz community.

King Phaestus (PvE/Commentary) - Not only is he a KI dev, but Cam also does play the game a lot during his free time. He streams a lot on twitch and also puts clips of his streams on his YT channel. A very friendly dev that is great to watch!

2024.05.14 20:36 LordXamon Mod guide for vanilla players, now updated for 1.5 [draft]
Let me share my 3000h of modded wisdom with you, my fellow vanilla comrades. My attempt here is to provide you with as many as possible improvements to the base game while keeping the style, balance, and content as vanilla as possible. As they say, when it works the best is when you don't realize it is there. I guarantee you that after playing a few dozen hours with these, you will no longer be able to tell what's vanilla and what's not.
I decided to cut my recommendations onto different types of lists, so it's easier for you. The most purists players can stick with QoL only. Or, even if you're a psychopath purist who doesn't any QoL improvement, you can still use the performance list.
Please, note that a lot of these mods come with options, to tune up your experience. It is recommended you give them a look.
Dependencies:

I decided to cut my recommendations onto different types of lists, so it's easier for you. The most purists players can stick with QoL only. Or, even if you're a psychopath purist who doesn't any QoL improvement, you can still use the performance list.
Please, note that a lot of these mods come with options, to tune up your experience. It is recommended you give them a look.
Dependencies:
- Harmony + Huglibs. Required by so many mods, you may as well be done with it and always have them.
- Vanilla Expanded Framework. While not as radically necessary as the previous ones, it's still a dependency common enough. And this one actually does cool things on its own, like loading new modded factions without having to start a new game.
- XML Extensions. You won't be able to access the options of some mods without this.
- Dub performance analyzer. Enable the optimizations and override options, you can ignore everything else. If you want to disable alerts, use rocketman.
- Rocketman. By default, it should be good enough. This mod also allows to disable alerts you may don't care about, like, dunno, tattered apparel or unhappy nudity. It is recommended to run adaptive move occasionally (in stat cache settings).
- Performance Optimizer. More hacker magic. If you don't like the UI changes, you can disable them in the options. This mod does more performance stuff aside from that, so use it anyway!
- Performance Fish. You will have to install this mod manually, since it's not available in the workshop. You will also need to install its dependencies, Fishery and Prepatcher. Please, be aware that at the present there's an issue in which linking storage crashes the game. However, this is solved by disabling "TryFindBestBetterStoreCellFor" in the options.
- Optimization Meats. Unless you really want dozens of different meat types for some weird role-play reason, this mod will reduce the bloat on your kitchens.
- Better Animal Tab
- Better Info Card
- Bionic icons
- Conduit Deconstruct
- Disable Automatically Select Travel Supplies
- Dubs Mint Menus IN PROGRESS
- Improved Need Indicator
- Map Preview. You can reroll as well!
- Prepare Landing. You can search tiles matching your conditions.
- Medical Tab. An easy way to overview your colonist's health.
- More Harvest Designators! e.g. harvest only fully growth plants.
- ModDiff. Great improvement of the mod mismatch screen.
- Pharmacist Temporary Update. Instead of always using the best medicine, now your pawns can use medicine tiers for according situations. No longer will they spent glitterworld meds for scratches!
- Smart Turret Covering. Fixes an issue with turret covers.
- PawnTargetFix. So that the autotarget prioritizes the closest enemy.
- Poisoned Food Stack Fix (Fix). Fixes an issue with meal stacks.
- Priority Treatment Ressurected. Doctors will finally prioritize keeping your pawns alive over taking a nap. Disable the X option, it can cause issues.
- QualityBuilder. You can set up a target level for furniture, and your pawns will reconstruct it until it's achieved. If I remember correctly, it's enabled by default? Disable that in options.
- RPG Style Inventory Revamped. Much better looking inventory.
- Replace Stuff. Allows to directly replace buildings, without having to deconstruct first.
- Research Tree. A better research tree.

- Show Known Techprints on the trade screen.
- Show mechanoid weapons on the info screen.

- Non uno Pinata. Pawns don't drop items when downed.
- Beautiful Jade
- Bulk Smelting will save you precious time.
- Stonecutting Extended, basically the same as the previous mod, but for stones.

- Faster Smoothing, a must for all tunnelers out there.
- Do Your F****** Research. You can order pawns to research.
- Go the Fork to Sleep. You can order pawns to sleep.
- Dubs Break Mod. So that severe mental breaks require severe negative thoughts.

- Fists Aren't Made of Steel. Reduces the unarmed melee damage, making prison breaks and tantrums much less frustrating.

2024.05.14 14:49 ecosclinic Essential on Tips For A Proper Hair Care Routine
 | In today’s fast-paced world, when every day offers new challenges and thrills, it’s easy to neglect basic joys such as the health of our hair. Yet, our locks are not just strands of keratin; they are a reflection of our overall well-being and confidence. That’s why it’s critical to devote time and effort to a healthy hair care regimen. And who better to guide us through this journey than the esteemed Dr. Neha Agrawal, renowned for her expertise in holistic wellness at ECOS Clinic Essential? submitted by ecosclinic to u/ecosclinic [link] [comments] Dr. Neha Agrawal understands that a beautiful head of hair goes beyond mere aesthetics; it’s a manifestation of internal harmony and external care. Here are her invaluable tips to help you achieve and maintain luscious, healthy locks: 1.Nutrition is Key: Just like any other part of our body, our hair requires nourishment from within. Dr. Agrawal emphasizes the importance of a balanced diet rich in vitamins, minerals, and proteins. Incorporate foods like leafy greens, nuts, eggs, and fatty fish into your meals to promote hair growth and strength. 2. Gentle Cleansing: Harsh chemicals found in many commercial shampoos can strip the hair of its natural oils, leaving it dry and brittle. Dr. Agrawal recommends opting for sulfate-free, gentle cleansers that cleanse without compromising the hair’s integrity. Additionally, washing your hair 2–3 times a week is usually sufficient to maintain cleanliness without over-drying. https://preview.redd.it/w59186302e0d1.jpg?width=539&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c80c163f037fe480c0c819286f54470a7d655d34 3.Hydration is Vital: Just as our bodies need hydration to thrive, so does our hair. Dr. Agrawal advises incorporating a hydrating conditioner into your routine to replenish moisture lost during cleansing. Look for products containing ingredients like coconut oil, shea butter, or argan oil to nourish and hydrate your strands. 4.Protective Styling: Excessive heat styling, tight hairstyles, and chemical treatments can wreak havoc on our hair, leading to breakage and damage. Dr. Agrawal suggests embracing protective styles like braids, buns, or loose waves to minimize stress on the hair shaft. And when using heat styling tools, always apply a heat protectant spray beforehand to shield your strands from damage. 5.Regular Trims: Split ends are the bane of healthy hair, hindering growth and giving the appearance of dullness. Dr. Agrawal advises scheduling regular trims every 6–8 weeks to snip away split ends and promote healthier, stronger hair growth. 6.Mind-Body Connection: Stress and anxiety can take a toll on our overall health, including the condition of our hair. Dr. Agrawal advocates for stress management techniques such as meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises to promote relaxation and reduce hair fall caused by stress. 7.Seek Professional Advice: Finally, if you’re experiencing persistent hair issues such as excessive shedding, scalp irritation, or sudden changes in texture, don’t hesitate to seek professional help. Dr. Agrawal and her team at ECOS Clinic Essential offer personalized consultations and treatments tailored to your unique needs. In conclusion, a proper hair care routine is not just a luxury; it’s a necessity for maintaining healthy, vibrant locks that radiate confidence and well-being. By following Dr. Neha Agrawal’s expert advice and incorporating these tips into your daily regimen, you’ll be well on your way to unlocking the secret to luxurious hair that turns heads and leaves a lasting impression. |

2024.05.14 13:23 digital_wiz How We Scaled a Hair Extension Brand using Facebook Ads and SEO to give $80,000 ROI in 6 Months (Detailed Breakdown)
Hello Redditors,
This is an incredible success story of how we helped a client achieve incredible results in just four months, generating an $80,000 return on investment (ROI) with a combination of SEO and Facebook Ads. We have completed many successful projects and there's a certain satisfaction in seeing our strategies translate to such tangible growth. I have tried to keep this post extremely detailed so that it can be beneficial for experienced marketers and newcomers alike.
The Client: Hair Extension E-commerce Brand
Revenue Split Between SEO and Fb ads: 3:2
Average Order Value: $350
Total Revenue(6 months): $140,000
Expenses(6 months): Product Cost + Delivery cost + Team + Agency Fees + Ads Cost+ Website Optimization + Packaging: $60000
Basic Company Background:
The brand was being run by a Mother-Daughter duo for the past 3 months. They had a shopify website with average structure and were struggling with facebook ads themselves. Although they made few physical sales due to friends and relatives but were unable to utilize the digital potential of their business as such. After trying facebook ads for some time they wanted a reliable digital marketing team to work with and they were recommended to us by one of our other customers who has a service based business. Initially we connected majorly for facebook ads but after the initial discussion when were doing research from our side, we found that there is huge potential in SEO for this niche so we suggested that we should prepare a proper website on wordpress and focus on both SEO and Ads parallelly as, although Ads will give an initial boost to the business but SEO will bring some stability and help in building a sustainable business.
Facebook Ads Campaign Structure:
It's important to note that after deep research we could find that a major share our hair extensions customers are females aged between 21-45 so we did not actively position our brand as solving problems of low hair volume, but instead we focused on how the products ads style, gives a much better look and you can try new hairstyles and hair colors daily. Also since almost all the demographics in this age group are working, we tested a professional look angle as well which gave us decent results. In ad creatives as well as on the website we made the daughter as the face of the product as we want to slowly grow her instagram as well which can add another organic and sustainable stream of revenue. She shoots before and after transition videos, general product application videos and other videos for ads according to the target audience and brand positioning strategy we discussed earlier. Instead of making long videos focused on product details a lot, we made short but captivating videos which can appeal to the young audience’s fashion sense.
Key Takeaways from FB Ads:
Mostly Meta Ads or Any other marketing tactic is just a traffic source but conversion will basically happen by how well you are able to communicate your product to the audience through your website. Its is necessary to have a smooth user journey, attractive offers, crisp information and right brand positioning on the website.
It is extremely important to make data driven decisions and track customer journeys meticulously. Always rely on your own tracking or google analytics to avoid the potential unreliability of Facebook Ads Manager.
Seo Strategy
If you don’t already know this, SEO is all about how effectively you can strategize your content and technical efforts keeping a bigger picture in mind. After our initial keyword research we could find that the average Kd of the important keywords was low when it comes to commercial keywords which were directly related to the business.
It's important to note that since the website was being built after our onboarding only so it was easy for us to structure the website according to the SEO strategy that we prepared.
At every stage we had meetings with the developer to ensure that there are no technical issues that will hinder the SEO growth and future and also we structured the website to be SEO friendly. We built separate pages for all the product categories and after through keyword research we added content to those pages so that the pages itself can rank for commercial keywords.
After the website was ready we audited it for technical issues(Like mobile friendliness, H1 tags, canonical tags, etc) we started focusing on the content. We wanted to establish our website as a trusted authority in the hair extensions and hair care industry in general.
Since the website was completely new, initially we created blogs(2-3 times per week) around informational keywords with low KD purely for increasing our website authority and bringing the initial traffic on the website. We have seen that usually people start stressing about approaching big websites for guest postings since the first day itself but if your keyword research and content is solid, that is not required in the beginning. Initially we focused on profile creations, image submissions, pdf submissions, internal linking in the content, web 2.0 backlinks etc and this was more than enough for us to rank for low difficulty keywords and increase our DA to a decent level so that our category pages can rank for low difficulty keywords.
Here I would like to include a tip, many times people are worried that what if the backlink that they have created doesn't get indexed. In the initial phase we work really hard when it comes to what we call as maturing our backlinks as this is the major factor for ranking on low difficulty keywords. So basically what we do is, we make backlinks of our web 2.0 backlinks itself which helps the primary backlink in getting indexed which ultimately helps with our website DA.
Also many people have been asking us in our previous posts how we structure our blog since I talk a lot about content quality, see it's not as hard and it doesn't involve a lot of research at least in the initial phase when you just have to rank on low difficulty keywords. In this phase usually what we do is study the top 5 ranking blogs on the particular keyword and make sure that we include more content and more subheadings then them. Also we try to find opportunities to include tables or charts wherever possible, we include good quality images(original if possible) and at this stage internal linking is very very important so we focus on that as well. In later stages although the basic strategy for framing the blogs remains same, overall content strategy varies a lot from business to business and requires a lot of strategizing depending on the brand positioning goals.
So after we were able to rank for low difficulty informational keywords and our Website DA reached a decent level due to our backlinking efforts, we started writing content around the fashion advice and common problems which people face related to hair in general. But as discussed earlier, we wanted to keep our brand positioning fashion centric, so even while writing about common problems we applied a positive and solution centric approach. We strategically placed internal links to our product pages in the content and tested popups with offers as well. Apart from this, we started guest posting as well at this stage. For finding websites for guest posting we used SEMrush’s backlink gap analysis tool and created a segregated list of blogs that we can reach out to based on their content quality and DA. By this time the store started generating decent revenue from ads and SEO so the client was completely onboard with reaching out to blogs for guest posting. Guest posting and overall strategic SEO application started generating a good amount of traffic for us and in 3-4 months the revenue generated due to SEO surpassed our Ads revenue as well.
Advantages of Combining SEO and Paid Ads
While Facebook Ads played a crucial role in launching the brand and driving initial traffic, SEO has emerged as the primary driver of sustainable growth. This approach allowed us to:

Facebook Ads Campaign Structure:
- Our campaign housed multiple ad sets targeting users who are interested in fashion products and we also targeted audiences of some big and costly fashion companies. We were mostly targeting females aged 25-45 with good income source to have optimal conversions in the beginning, with our Seo efforts we planned to target a slightly younger audience as well which is going steadily as of now.
- We ran occasional promotions like "Buy x get x free" to boost AOV.
- Due to the high AOV and especially the product niche sometimes it is necessary to build trust so we used retargeting to build trust and showcase benefits, not just push for immediate conversions. Ads focused on comparison(Before & Afters), Customer Reviews, Hassle free product application and natural look, stylish look.

While Facebook Ads played a crucial role in launching the brand and driving initial traffic, SEO has emerged as the primary driver of sustainable growth. This approach allowed us to:

- Build Brand Authority: Our SEO strategy has positioned our website as a trusted authority in the hair extensions industry. This fosters brand recognition and trust, leading to organic customer acquisition.
- Scale Traffic and Revenue: Organic traffic growth has been exponential, leading to a significant and sustainable increase in website revenue generated through SEO.

We strategically placed internal links to our product pages in the content and tested popups with offers as well. Apart from this, we started guest posting as well at this stage. For finding websites for guest posting we used SEMrush’s backlink gap analysis tool and created a segregated list of blogs that we can reach out to based on their content quality and DA. By this time the store started generating decent revenue from ads and SEO so the client was completely onboard with reaching out to blogs for guest posting. Guest posting and overall strategic SEO application started generating a good amount of traffic for us and in 3-4 months the revenue generated due to SEO surpassed our Ads revenue as well.
Advantages of Combining SEO and Paid Ads
While Facebook Ads played a crucial role in launching the brand and driving initial traffic, SEO has emerged as the primary driver of sustainable growth. This approach allowed us to:
- Reduce Reliance on Paid Advertising: As our SEO efforts matured, we were able to gradually decrease our Facebook ad spend, resulting in cost savings and improved return on investment.
- Build Brand Authority: Our SEO strategy has positioned our website as a trusted authority in the hair extensions industry. This fosters brand recognition and trust, leading to organic customer acquisition.
- Scale Traffic and Revenue: Organic traffic growth has been exponential, leading to a significant and sustainable increase in website revenue generated through SEO.

2024.05.14 13:01 digital_wiz How We Scaled a Hair Extension Brand using Facebook Ads and SEO to give $80,000 ROI in 6 Months (Detailed Breakdown)
Hello Redditors,
This is an incredible success story of how we helped a client achieve incredible results in just four months, generating an $80,000 return on investment (ROI) with a combination of SEO and Facebook Ads. We have completed many successful projects and there's a certain satisfaction in seeing our strategies translate to such tangible growth. I have tried to keep this post extremely detailed so that it can be beneficial for experienced marketers and newcomers alike.
The Client: Hair Extension E-commerce Brand
Revenue Split Between SEO and Fb ads: 3:2
Average Order Value: $350
Total Revenue(6 months): $140,000
Expenses(6 months): Product Cost + Delivery cost + Team + Agency Fees + Ads Cost + Website Optimization + Packaging: $60000
Basic Company Background:
The brand was being run by a Mother-Daughter duo for the past 3 months. They had a shopify website with average structure and were struggling with facebook ads themselves. Although they made few physical sales due to friends and relatives but were unable to utilize the digital potential of their business as such. After trying facebook ads for some time they wanted a reliable digital marketing team to work with and they were recommended to us by one of our other customers who has a service based business. Initially we connected majorly for facebook ads but after the initial discussion when were doing research from our side, we found that there is huge potential in SEO for this niche so we suggested that we should prepare a proper website on wordpress and focus on both SEO and Ads parallelly as, although Ads will give an initial boost to the business but SEO will bring some stability and help in building a sustainable business.
Facebook Ads Campaign Structure:
It's important to note that after deep research we could find that a major share our hair extensions customers are females aged between 21-45 so we did not actively position our brand as solving problems of low hair volume, but instead we focused on how the products ads style, gives a much better look and you can try new hairstyles and hair colors daily. Also since almost all the demographics in this age group are working, we tested a professional look angle as well which gave us decent results. In ad creatives as well as on the website we made the daughter as the face of the product as we want to slowly grow her instagram as well which can add another organic and sustainable stream of revenue. She shoots before and after transition videos, general product application videos and other videos for ads according to the target audience and brand positioning strategy we discussed earlier. Instead of making long videos focused on product details a lot, we made short but captivating videos which can appeal to the young audience’s fashion sense.
Key Takeaways from FB Ads:
Mostly Meta Ads or Any other marketing tactic is just a traffic source but conversion will basically happen by how well you are able to communicate your product to the audience through your website. Its is necessary to have a smooth user journey, attractive offers, crisp information and right brand positioning on the website.
It is extremely important to make data driven decisions and track customer journeys meticulously. Always rely on your own tracking or google analytics to avoid the potential unreliability of Facebook Ads Manager.
Seo Strategy
If you don’t already know this, SEO is all about how effectively you can strategize your content and technical efforts keeping a bigger picture in mind. After our initial keyword research we could find that the average Kd of the important keywords was low when it comes to commercial keywords which were directly related to the business.
It's important to note that since the website was being built after our onboarding only so it was easy for us to structure the website according to the SEO strategy that we prepared.
At every stage we had meetings with the developer to ensure that there are no technical issues that will hinder the SEO growth and future and also we structured the website to be SEO friendly. We built separate pages for all the product categories and after through keyword research we added content to those pages so that the pages itself can rank for commercial keywords.
After the website was ready we audited it for technical issues(Like mobile friendliness, H1 tags, canonical tags, etc) we started focusing on the content. We wanted to establish our website as a trusted authority in the hair extensions and hair care industry in general.
Since the website was completely new, initially we created blogs(2-3 times per week) around informational keywords with low KD purely for increasing our website authority and bringing the initial traffic on the website. We have seen that usually people start stressing about approaching big websites for guest postings since the first day itself but if your keyword research and content is solid, that is not required in the beginning. Initially we focused on profile creations, image submissions, pdf submissions, internal linking in the content, web 2.0 backlinks etc and this was more than enough for us to rank for low difficulty keywords and increase our DA to a decent level so that our category pages can rank for low difficulty keywords.
Here I would like to include a tip, many times people are worried that what if the backlink that they have created doesn't get indexed. In the initial phase we work really hard when it comes to what we call as maturing our backlinks as this is the major factor for ranking on low difficulty keywords. So basically what we do is, we make backlinks of our web 2.0 backlinks itself which helps the primary backlink in getting indexed which ultimately helps with our website DA.
Also many people have been asking us in our previous posts how we structure our blog since I talk a lot about content quality, see it's not as hard and it doesn't involve a lot of research at least in the initial phase when you just have to rank on low difficulty keywords. In this phase usually what we do is study the top 5 ranking blogs on the particular keyword and make sure that we include more content and more subheadings then them. Also we try to find opportunities to include tables or charts wherever possible, we include good quality images(original if possible) and at this stage internal linking is very very important so we focus on that as well. In later stages although the basic strategy for framing the blogs remains same, overall content strategy varies a lot from business to business and requires a lot of strategizing depending on the brand positioning goals.
So after we were able to rank for low difficulty informational keywords and our Website DA reached a decent level due to our backlinking efforts, we started writing content around the fashion advice and common problems which people face related to hair in general. But as discussed earlier, we wanted to keep our brand positioning fashion centric, so even while writing about common problems we applied a positive and solution centric approach.

Facebook Ads Campaign Structure:
- Our campaign housed multiple ad sets targeting users who are interested in fashion products and we also targeted audiences of some big and costly fashion companies. We were mostly targeting females aged 25-45 with good income source to have optimal conversions in the beginning, with our Seo efforts we planned to target a slightly younger audience as well which is going steadily as of now.
- We ran occasional promotions like "Buy x get x free" to boost AOV.
- Due to the high AOV and especially the product niche sometimes it is necessary to build trust so we used retargeting to build trust and showcase benefits, not just push for immediate conversions. Ads focused on comparison(Before & Afters), Customer Reviews, Hassle free product application and natural look, stylish look.

We've been dating for 8 months, but we've been good friends for about 6 years. I asked her out, got rejected, and pretty much moved on, but three weeks after, she said she actually did like me and we got together.
This is both our first relationships, and we both agreed we wanted to take it seriously. And now we know a lot more about each other, we've both changed as people, and I don't think we're compatible anymore.
She said she's working on it, but she is really bad at communicating. So when she's upset, she'll just snub me or make a face or something. I've warned her that I am not super good at picking up some social cues which she's said is fine, but after having talks about communication and having this happen, I don't really trust her to be truthful. But even with some communication problems, I still loved her.
But about a month ago, we were facetiming while I was trying some new hairstyles for prom, and I was curling my hair outward (kinda like 2003 Strawberry Shortcake?) and thought it was really cute so I showed her and she laughed in my face, like really hard. I grew up a lot of friends and family making fun of how I look, so I think I'm sensitive to these kinds of things. We had a talk about it and resolved things, but it's pretty obvious to me that I haven't really felt anything romantic for her since then.
I've been acting the same as usual, and it's clear she still loves me. She gets me gifts and calls me cute often, and has mentioned that I'm the only person that she's actually comfortable with. But while it used to make me happy, it makes me kind of uncomfortable now. It feels like kissing my friend (which is true I guess). I can do it, but it just is kind of weird.
I'm unfulfilled, bordering unhappy, but I felt really strongly about her before and am afraid I might never find someone that loves me as much again. Is this just a regular relationship phase, or should I break up with her?

2024.05.14 04:16 moderndaywizard956 Fallout New Vegas (season 2 fanfiction
2296, The scene is set in a post apocalyptic Mojave desert, 15 years after a joint effort of the New California Republic, the Rangers, and the mysterious benefactor of the New Vegas Strip, Mr. House pushed back an attempted invasion of the Mojave and a final battle was waved for control of the hydroelectric powerhouse, Hoover Damm.
In the aftermath, Mr. House was removed from power discreetly, due to the actions of a wasteland wanderer on a mission for revenge, known only as the Courier. Mr. House's iconic Lucky 38 casino opened its doors, for the first time, offering a single floor casino and bar, it's upstairs remained an exclusive and mysterious meeting place for the New Vegas Strip's elite. The Lucky 38 represented one of the cleanest, most secure facilities, protected, like the rest of the strip, by the Securitron Mk 2, predominantly. Their presence ensured visitors on the Strip behaved themselves, though the other casinos maintained their own security and 'house rules' internally.
The Strip defined and maintained its status as an independent entity, determining through the Courier's observations that the NCR was stretching it's military might too thin, and couldn't realistically manage over the Strip and Mojave, so a new deal was struck, similar to the prior, but with The Strip extending it's Securitron security to enforce the immediately surrounding communities and a few outlying satelites. Trade to the surrounding areas increased, the Mojave benefitting from the prewar tech, pre-programmed security forces. The drug addicted fiends and other Raider groups would never be any match for their advanced weaponry, and ultimately were cleared out of existence.
The King's continued to watch over Freeside, making alliances with the Follower's of the Apocalypse... their desire to service the needs of the belittled, disadvantaged and destitute lined up, and this is where Mr. Wolf found his place in the story... the Courier and a Follower's doctor found love in the wasteland.... and raised a child together under a Ranger's flag... 23 years later? This is New Vegas...
A handsome man in a leather jacket sat in a dusty leather booth watching one of the girls dance on a pole, shaking her ass as bottle caps clinked on the stage in front of her. It was a swanky post apocalyptic casino strip club. A man in a leather jacket stood nearby, his hands crossed in front of his chest, "Kings" embroidered across the back in silver letters. A waitress approached him carrying a glass of some amber colored liquor, and sat it down at the half moon table. She lingered a moment in her lacey body suit, following his gaze up to the girl rubbing her tits in some older cowboys face.
"You don't get jealous seeing her like that, Mr. Wolf." The girl bit her lip and met his eyes as he picked up his glass and swirled it before giving it a smell and taking a slow swig. He tilted his head looking her over. She couldn't possibly be older then 19. Tight, perky little thing.
Mr. Wolf smirked and shook his head. "I like her... nice and wet when she comes to my bed."
The girl blushed and bit her lip. "So you like to watch?" She surmised.
"I don't mind, but why do you ask?" Wolf had these intense eyes that shot arrows into your very soul. It made her incredibly nervous... but she found it deeply exciting at the same time.
"Well... I'm living in 206 now... maybe... you might stop by sometime and I could dance for you? I know I don't have her body but... if you wanted something that was a little fresher... something... just yours?" She figeted her fingers against the table.
Jason looked her over once more and smirked.
"Two-Oh-six, huh?" He tilted his head, considering.
She nodded.
"Leave your cum soaked panties on my doorknob one of these nights if you really need it and maybe I'll come see if you got the moves." His Texan accent was subdued, but enthrallingly charming with his confident, somewhat bored with reality overtones.
"M-my panties?" She stammered turning bright red. "On your doorknob?" Alexa couldn't believe what she was hearing.
"If you're gunna shoot your shot with a dom... with an alpha... you need to be willing to submit. If you can't do that... I'm not interested." Wolf shrugged, completely unphased.
"But what about... what if..." Alexa glanced at Laura, the clubs most iconic stripper in the club, perhaps even the whole Strip.
She was taking some NCR soldier to the VIP lounge for a private dance.
Alexa had been bold enough to offer herself but now she was feeling nervous. If Laura wanted her out, she could lose her job... her home.
"Oh she won't mind... if anything she'll want to watch." Wolf shook his head, sensing her anxiety.
"Assuming of course... she likes the way you smell... she's funny like that." Wolf let the conversation end and Alexa nervously retreated.
Wolf sat drinking by himself, but got bored.
"Jakey, go get yourself a drink and sit down, I'm bored." Wolf called to his body guard.
Jacob looked over and nodded, giving the lounge one last look around before approaching the bar and getting himself a mug of beer, from the tuxedo shirt and boytie bartender Gerald, and returning to the table.
"What's on your mind boss?" Jacob had his hair slicked back in the usual King's gang hairstyle.
"Heard any rumors lately?" Wold looked at him, taking a drag from his cigarette and flicking the pack over to him.
"Honestly, boss, aside from the occasional drunkard or fiend rolling through freeside, nothing out of the ordinary... well, except... a way's out.. the crazy lady... Gloria was swearing up and down she found a headless metal suit of armor.. said the Enclave would burn down New Vegas. God's wraith and all that, you know how she gets."
"Enclave?" Jason's attention was piqued.
"Yeah, I don't know, she was probably just in withdrawal from the Jet... said she found it in the hollowed out shell of the Super Duper, out by the old highway." Jacob shrugged and drank from his beer and pulled a cigarette from the pack.
Wolf finished the last drag of his own cigarette. "Has anyone validated her claims?"
"Well... no... but... I mean... you've met her, she sees things that aren't there, all the time." Jacob shrugged and lit a cigarette.
Jason squinted, considering the resident crazy ladies most recent half coherent ramblings.
"That's an oddly specific hallucination though....take a group of guys out there tonight... humor me, and make sure she's not right." Wolf lifted his glass.
"Sir?" Jacob raised an eyebrow, thinking surely this could wait until tomorrow.
"Hypothetically" Wolf pondered aloud, "If there was... for some reason, there in-fact was... a pre-war, piece of military tech out there....a T-45, let's say, or T-60, best case scenario? We want it. Even if it's not at 100% capacity? It's fusion core alone... could change up the game for Freeside, something like that could make our tiny little city independent. We wouldn't have to be reliant on the scraps of New Vegas, and forget about the Hoover Dam completely."
Jacob caught Mr. Wolf's drift.. a fusion core could mean producing its own, radiation-free water, it's own electricity.. not just a little, a lot. Powering long dead machines, not to mention the agricultural benefits... producing healthier, higher yield tobacco... expanding their income ten fold.
Jacob suddenly felt like he understood Mr. Wolf's vision for the future.
"I should... go and deploy the King's to investigate." Jacob concluded.
"I think that would be for the best, I can take care of myself here." Wolf waved Jacob off.
Jacob downed his beer and excused himself.
Wolf drank the rest of his whiskey, extinguishing his cigarette.
Laura, the dancer came up to the table, and Wolf motioned to the blushing new waitress for a round, who felt a twinge of jealousy seeing her crush with the most popular stage act in town. She bit her tongue though, bringing over two more heavy pours of whiskey.
Laura eyed the girl as she came and went.
"She likes you." Laura concluded as the waitress walked away.
"Yeah.. I think she does." Mr. Wolf shrugged, flicking her a cigarette.
"The NCR boy liked me." She giggled wiping a little bit of cum from her lips and used half her shot like mouthwash.
"Get anything out of him.. other then.. his seed?" Wolf sighed.
"Of course," She grinned mischievously, "Apparently there's been trouble out West with the Brotherhood. They had some type of skirmish? Apparently NCR lost? NCR was apparently holding some old world tech, I don't know, but apparently it lit up the west coast power grid, like... in it's entirely?" Laura tilted her head to look at him.
"The entire western power grid was lit up by a single piece of tech??" Wolf shook his head at the topless girl beside him.
"Yeah, I had to make him cum twice for more details, but apparently it's the size of a grain of rice, with quote, unlimited energy potential." Laura relayed the information. It seemed more important then a suit of power armor or its fusion core.
"Who else knows about this?" Wolf demanded with his eyebrows squinted against his eyes.
"Anyone with a functional light bulb for... like... three hundred miles?" Laura guessed with a shrug.
"You said... it was the Brotherhood that took the win on the skirmish?" Wolf clarified some details.
"Yeah... rumor has it they have a new up and coming knight that's making waves." Laura shrugged.
"Stay on the rumors... I need details." Mr. Wolf nodded at her, drank his whiskey and stood up, downing his drink.
An energy source that powerful would have a big effect on the balance of power in the Mojave. It could mean a resurrection of the New California Republic to it's former glory and then some, and potentially... might mean a renewed effort to reclaim the western part of the former United States, in time.
