"The Iron Claw" is a biographical drama film that tells the story of the Von Erich brothers, a legendary wrestling family in the 1980s. The film follows the brothers as they rise to stardom in the cutthroat world of professional wrestling, but also explores the dark side of their fame and the tragedies that befell them. Their father, Fritz Von Erich, is a domineering figure who pushes his sons to achieve greatness, but his ambition may contribute to their downfalls.

What’s the Difference Between On-Page SEO and Off-Page SEO?

On-page SEO focuses on optimizing parts of your website that are within your control, while off-page SEO focuses on increasing the authority of your domain through content creation and earning backlinks from other websites. To further understand the difference between the two, you have to understand, at a basic level, how search engine algorithms work. Let’s break it down.
There are two main buckets that search engines (SEO) look at when evaluating your site compared to other sites on the web.

1. On-page SEO looks at what your site (or your page) is about
2. Off-page SEO looks at how authoritative and popular your site is

On-Page vs. Off-Page SEO: What’s the Difference?

Put simply, what you rank for is largely determined by on-page factors, while how high you rank in the search results is largely determined by off-page factors.

How Does Each Type of SEO Affect Your Rankings?

What is On-Page SEO?

On-page SEO (also known as “on-site” SEO) is the act of optimizing different parts of your website that affect your search engine rankings. Where your website appears in search engine results pages is determined by a number of ranking factors including site accessibility, page speed, optimized content, keywords, title tags, etc. On-page SEO is about optimizing the stuff that you have control over and can change on your own website.

On-page SEO checklist:

How do you make sure your on-page SEO tactics are up to snuff? Here is a helpful checklist for on-site optimizations that can help curate your strategy.

Title Tags

Put your targeted keywords in the title tag of each page on your site. There are many best practices that go into writing an effective title tag.

• Limit your title tags to 55-60 characters (including spaces)
• Push the keyword closer to the beginning of the title (ONLY if it sounds natural)
• Don’t stuff your keywords
• Include brand at the end of the title tag, separated by a pipe bar () Example: “Chicago SEO Digital Third Coast”

Headings (H1)

Headings are usually the largest words on the page, and for that reason, search engines give them a little more weight than your other page copy. It is a good idea to work your target keywords into the headings of each web page but make sure you accurately reflect your page’s great content.
Make sure your H1s limited to one per page, all other headers are H2 or H3

URL structure

Put keywords into your URLs if possible. However, do not go changing all of your current URLs just so they have keywords in them. You shouldn’t change old URLs unless you plan on redirecting your old ones to your new ones. Consult a professional before doing this.

• Label your directories and folders in a way that makes sense for users
• Don’t repeat keywords in your URL more than once. Keywords are helpful, but overdoing it effects user experience. Example: /best-socks-comparison-best-socks-best-socks?
• Keep URLs as short as possible

Alt text for images

Any content management system should allow you to add something called “alt text” to all images on your website. This text isn’t visible to the average visitor – alt text is in fact used by screen reader software to help blind internet users understand the content of your images. Search engines crawl images in a similar way, so inserting some relevant keywords while accurately describing the image will help search engines understand your page’s content.
Writing an alt attribute for each image keeps your website in compliance with WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines). Keep the following things in mind when writing alt text:

• Thoroughly describe the image in 8-10 words
• Include your targeted keyword where it sounds most natural
• Include, if relevant, a geo-locator (e.g., Chicago)

Fast-loading pages, or page load speed

Google wants to help its users find what they’re looking for as quickly as possible to provide the best user experience. Therefore, optimizing your pages to load faster helps your site rank higher in the search results.
Google has a tool called PageSpeed Insights that will analyze your site on both mobile and desktop. and then suggest tips to optimize page speed. There are also several quick fixes to eliminate whatever is bogging your site down and slowing your page load time. Key site speed factors to consider:

• Minimizing HTTP requests
• Making sure server response time is <200ms
• Setting browser caching to at least a week or longer
• Enabling Gzip compression
• Having image sizes under 100kb (.jpg, .png, .gif)
• Placing all CSS in an external style sheet
• Minifying all JS, CSS and HTML
• Prioritizing above the fold content loading

Mobile Friendliness

In recent years, Google has prioritized mobile page loading speed as a key ranking metric.
How do you know if your website is mobile-friendly? Unfortunately, Google recently dropped support for some free public tools that helped. However, you can now use Google Search Console to analyze this type of information. Specifically, the Core Web Vitals report can help you identify if your mobile pages are loading slower than they should be.

Page Content

The content on your pages needs to be useful to people. If they search for something too specific to find your page, they need to be able to find what they’re looking for. It needs to be easy to read and provide value to the end user. Google has various ways to measure if your content is useful.

• Aim for at least 500 words of copy. Although there is no exact formula for how many words a page should have, Google seems to prefer when a page has a lot of relevant and helpful content surrounding your topic.
• Copy must be unique to each page, not duplicated from other pages on your site, and should directly address your visitors’ search queries
• Push the keyword closer to the beginning of the title, but ONLY if it sounds natural

Internal Linking

Linking internally to other pages on your website is useful to visitors and it is also useful to search engines. Here’s an internal link to another blog post on our site that talks more about internal linking. Very meta.
When adding internal links, make sure to have relevant anchor text. Anchor text is the clickable text in a hyperlink (usually indicated by blue font color and underline). To optimize your anchor text, make sure the selected word or phrase is relevant to the page you’re linking to.
On-page SEO ensures that your site can be read by both potential customers and search engine robots. With good on-page SEO, search engines can easily index your web pages, understand what your site is about, and easily navigate the structure and content of your website, thus ranking your site accordingly. As a best practice, make sure your page content includes 1-3 relevant internal links.

Schema Markup

Adding structured data helps Google better understand the content of a page. Google also uses certain types of structured data to display “rich results” in SERPs such as a recipe with start ratings or step-by-step instructions with an image carousel. These rich results often appear at or near the top of SERPs and generally have higher click-through-rates than normal organic listings.
Google prefers structured data to use schema.org vocabulary, and recommends using JSON-LD format. They also provide a handy Rich Results Test tool to check your code. While there are a variety of ways to add structured data to your website (plugins, Google Tag Manager, etc.), it’s always best to get a professional involved if you’re not comfortable writing code.
Check out Google’s guide to structured data and rich results here.

Social Tags

Having your content shared on social tells Google that people find your content relevant, helpful and reputable. Not every page on your site is share-worthy, but you can optimize the pages that are with these tips:

• Make sure you have Open Graph tags and Twitter Cards installed
• Make it easy with “tweet this quote” links, or social share buttons for each post

Core Web Vitals

User experience is key to a website’s long-term success. In spring 2020, Google unveiled Core Web Vitals, a common set of signals that they deem “critical” to all users’ web experiences.
The purpose of these signals is to quantify the user experience with a website, from page visual stability and load time, to interactive experiences.

• Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) – measures perceived page loading speed and marks the point at which the majority of the page content has downloaded.
• First Input Delay – quantifies user experience of a user’s initial engagement with a page.
• Cumulative Layout Shift – quantifies the amount of layout shift on visible page content and measures visual stability of a page. It’s usually causes by images without dimensions, dynamically injected content, web fonts causing FOIT/FOUT, and other embeds added without dimensions.

To check your LCP score, access your Google PageSpeed Insights and make sure your page hits LCP within 2.5 seconds. To accomplish this, remove unnecessary third-party scripts that may be running, upgrading your web host, activating “lazy loading” so page elements load only as users scroll down the page, and remove any large page elements that may be slowing it down.
One of the simplest ways to optimize cumulative layout shift is to add height and width dimensions to each new site element. Also, avoid adding new content above existing content on a page (unless responding to user interaction).

Page Experience

Google is working on a new ranking signal (likely to come out in 2024) that prioritizes websites with positive user experiences.
The ‘page experience signal’ will consist of Core Web Vitals, plus mobile-friendliness, safe-browsing, HTTPS security, and intrusive interstitial guidelines.
According to Google, “optimizing for these factors makes the web more delightful for users across all web browsers and surfaces, and helps sites evolve towards user expectations on mobile. We believe this will contribute to business success on the web as users grow more engaged and can transact with less friction.”

What is Off-Page SEO?

Off-page SEO focuses on increasing the authority of your domain through the act of getting links from other websites.
A good analogy for how authority works is this. If you have a bathtub with rubber duckies in it (the ducks are your pages), and you start filling the tub with water (links), your duckies are all going to rise to the top.
This is how a site like Wikipedia ranks for pretty much everything under the sun. It has so much water in its bathtub that if you throw another rubber duck in it, it’s going to float to the top without any other effort.
There’s a score called “Domain Authority” that calculates how authoritative your website is compared to other sites. You can type your domain name into here to see your score.

How to optimize for off-page SEO

There are several factors that influence your off-page SEO rankings. While each one is tackled with different strategies, they share an overarching goal of building the trust and reputation of your website from the outside.

1. Inbound links
2. Social media marketing
3. Guest blogging and guest posting
4. Unlinked brand mentions
5. Influencer marketing

The biggest off-page SEO factor is the number and quality of backlinks to your website. Some examples of ways you can build links to your website are:

• Creating awesome content that people want to link to because it is valuable. For example, this super helpful blog post about how to improve about us pages. The post provides a ton of actionable recommendations. People tend to link to content that is useful. Creating an online tool for your industry is another powerful content type. Things like online calculators tend to get the most backlinks out of all content types because they help people accomplish a goal.
• Social media shares of your content that ultimately generate links.
• Outreach e-mails to influencers in your industry that ultimately link to you.
• Guest blogging on sites related to yours. These guest posts will have links back to your site.

While link quantity is still important, content creators and SEO professionals are realizing that link quality is now more important than link quantity. As such, creating shareable content is the first step to earning valuable links and improving your off-page SEO.
How many links do you need for good off-page SEO? That is a tough question and it’s going to be based on the domain authority of your competitors, as you want to make sure you’re playing in the same sandbox.
SEOs also used to believe that buying links was a valid way of link building; however, Google will now penalize you for buying links in an attempt to manipulate page rank. You can also be penalized for submitting your links to link directories whose sole purpose is to increase your domain authority. Again, quality wins out over quantity when it comes to link building.

Is On-Page or Off-Page SEO More Important?

It’s not about choosing between on and off-page SEO, that would be like having to choose between a foundation or a roof for your house. On-page and off-page SEO work together to improve your search engine rankings in a complementary fashion.
However, SEOs generally advise getting your on-page SEO ducks in a row before focusing too much on off-page SEO.
Just like building a house, you want to set the foundation first before building the rest of the house. Like a foundation, you may need to come back and do some maintenance to your on-page SEO from time to time. Balancing the two will help make your website “bilingual” so that your users can understand it as well as the search engine robots- and that’s how your rankings start to improve.

So a 3 months back I met a guy on Bumble, he was a really nice guy, but due to certain reasons, we decided that we aren't going to date, I was absolutely frustrated with my life then and all apps in general, and he was of my same age, so more or less we vibed well, though we had completely varied interests. Anyway 2 weeks into conversation over Instagram (he'd asked me for my id) he said that he'd developed feelings for me and like it was all too much for me, because I'd made myself very much clear that I was not in a position to date rn, I'm doing my final year of medicine and he was prepping for his IIM admissions and stuff, we'd soon be in different cities/states and long distancing was near to impossible as I can't manage a relationship in my final year. I didn't want to him to invest his time on me without seeing any future, and also we were from different religions, and it wouldn't have worked out anyway, also some other personal issues which I can't mention here. But I felt very bad for leading him on (I never did tbh, I'd made myself clear, and he admitted that it was he who developed feelings for me). I'd a lot of free time then, I'd just got done with my exams then and we used to maintain a connection when I could, and I gradually started detaching myself from him and said we could move on as friends or else we'll stop talking altogether but he said that we could reduce the frequency if the conversations and it'll gradually die down. Fast forward, we talk/chat often like when I get time, btw he got into one of the best IIM's in the mean time, I entered my final year, we planned on meeting, since we'd got to know each other online and planned a meetup, but it didn't work out and he'd to cancel in the last moment. So we dropped plans of meeting, and agreed that we'd meet if any one of us was in the same city (we live in different cities), and usual conversations went on. He is a really good friend (or atleast that is what I assumed) and I tried my best in supporting through his interviews for IIM's as a friend and I'm absolutely overjoyed when he got into literally 5/6 IIM's. Btw I was having a tough time in my life die to the hectic academics and college. Yesterday I saw that he'd come to his Alma mater which was in my same city, and he didn't tell a word. I replied asking whether he was here and he said that he didn't want to bother me and that I was already having a hectic schedule. I had tears rolling down my eyes, and would've gone to meet him, since I considered him a dear friend and he didn't even ask me if I'd come to meet him. I literally ended up crying. I'd done my best to support him as a friend through his exams and interviews, not sending any mixed signals making my stand very clear( I like him dearly as a friend nothing more) and yet he just did this to me. Now I just feel so bad. Am I such a bad person that he absolutely avoided me and didn't even ask me whether I could come( I did have a packed schedule yesterday, but I'd have found time, after all it's all about priorities) Do I deserve to be treated like this?I just feel absolutely disgusting, with already a hard time at college. I still can't believe he just avoided me, he's indeed a nice person who used to listen to my rants and support me when I could, or was it all just a facade, I strongly believe it wasn't.
Sorry ladies for the very long rant.

Hey everyone,
As a Pakistan, I wanted to share my journey of developing my first mobile app, Uni Explorer, using React Native. It took me about five months to bring it to life, and I’m proud to say it has been downloaded over 500 times in just two weeks!
What makes this journey special is that I had zero coding experience before I started. The idea for Uni Explorer came to me when I realized how challenging it was to find comprehensive information about universities, IELTS courses, and consultants all in one place. I decided to take matters into my own hands and create a solution. Search "Uni Explorer" on Google Play Store and Apple App Store. Download from there.
I relied heavily on online resources to learn everything I needed. ChatGPT was an incredible tool for answering my questions and guiding me through coding challenges. Stack Overflow became my go-to for troubleshooting specific issues, while YouTube tutorials and free courses on Coursera, Meta, and Udemy provided structured learning paths and hands-on projects that were crucial for understanding the basics and advanced concepts of app development.
The journey was far from easy. Collecting and organizing a large dataset from universities, consultants, and IELTS course providers was one of the most time-consuming parts. However, the satisfaction of overcoming these hurdles and seeing my app live on the app stores made it all worthwhile.
If there's one piece of advice I can offer, it's this: don't let the lack of experience deter you from pursuing your ideas. The resources available online today make it entirely possible to learn and build something amazing from scratch. Take your time, be patient with yourself, and stay persistent. You might just surprise yourself with what you can achieve.
I hope my story inspires some of you to take that first step towards bringing your own ideas to life. Not only can you create something valuable, but you can also open up new opportunities for personal and professional growth.
Best of luck to everyone on their own journeys!

i don't have enough to pay for school again. i am trying to look for some free online source but there are way many and i don't know which one should I chose. even I don't know how what my current level is. i just know some bits of topics here and there.
because of some mental health issue i took a long break(the last time I "studied" was 6 years ago). and I'm trying to get myself together.

Hey everyone, My name is Kate, and I'm 39 years old. I'm looking for girls to chat with about everyday life, problems, joys, and everything that comes to our minds. I know it may sounds dull as hell but surerly a lot of people would love to have that one online friend with whom we could share our lifes struggles😊.
I'm very open person, kind, and enjoy talking about various topics – from very serious ones to completely trivial matters. In my free time I like to read about astronomy (I am not an expert or scientist😝, I just always felt curious about that stucff), riding a bike or just chill with a bottle of good wine and a movie to watch.
If you're up for interesting conversations, sharing your thoughts and experiences, feel free to reach out! In your first message would love to hear some information about you. While age does not matter to me (though be at least 18y old😊), would love to see how it will go with young people.
Looking forward to your chats😊.

Hello there, I'm looking for friends to game with. I've ended up turning into a killer main on DBD just cause I've gotten bored of gaming by myself 😂
I do enjoy playing Party Animals by myself atm but that's cause it is a silly goofy game. But Fortnite, DBD, and the online portions of RDR and GTA got stale due to all that solo time. I'd love having a friend to goof around with.
I also play Fallout 76, Palworld, Texas Chainsaw, and Dreamlight Valley. If you're interested in being friends, feel free to send a message.

I used to adventure all of the time. I'd explore caves, ride motorcycles, go to waterfalls, meet new people, go on hikes all over the place, just ride around and explore what I could find. In 2023, I went through a lot of stress and trauma, and also just stopped taking care of myself. I didn't realize just how shape I had gotten, until I got smacked with a panic attack and also realized I was putting on weight when looking at myself in the mirror...
I want to get living again. I'm sitting here on a free Sunday afternoon. Old younger version of me would be on the dirt bike exploring a trail, or heading out to check out a cave.
I did used to be a bit reckless when I was younger, but I want to be safer now. I still want to adventure, but just take more mind to safety. I would over-do things when I was younger, now I'm a bit more wiser (I hope).
The problem is that as I've grown up and gotten out of shape it's lead to me becoming very scared. I am constantly afraid about whether or not I can handle XYZ adventure, even if it's a very light adventure. My sleep is fucked, I constantly wake up at 12pm or later and sleep 2-3am. I very struggle to make plans.
In many ways these problems (poor sleep & poor planning) is from my moderate success making money online. I can work anytime. anywhere. I don't need to be up at 8am... But I'd love to be up at 8am, not to "hustle" but to enjoy some nature activities.
I've been working out... Intensely. It's just depressing making progress but still being so far behind where I used to be. I want to cry just writing this out. A "hard" day these days is what an easy day was just a few years ago. And it's because of that that I'm scared to do any motorcycle ride or hike or any adventure, no matter how easy it is, because I know I'm not as strong as I was before physically.
I've also had mental trauma, and I'm seeing a therapist. Believe me, I'm attacking in many ways. Seeing an EMDR therapist to heal my mental trauma from last year, and working out intensely. I just need to fix my sleep and get in the habit of planning again and also get adventuring regularly again to show my brain that it's okay and that I don't need to be terrified (and also prove to myself that I'll "adventure responsibly" by using safety equipment and not overdo it, etc.).
I'm tired, and I think I'm addicted to YouTube, Reddit, Facebook, doomscrolling, staring at hot girls on IG, playing video games, etc, I just hate it. I feel like I can only think short-term and struggle planning, and I often feel like I'm in "withdrawal" when I'm not medicating with scrolling and whatnot. I think those things keep me up later at night, too.
I'd love to get out again. On a nice hike. Rock climbing. In a cave. Enjoying a waterfall. Cruising on a beautiful road early in the morning with little traffic.
What upsets me even more is that I definitely have the time and ability to do these things, it's just mainly my mental issues and bad sleep and bad planning holding me back. I have a huge list of adventures written out, I know what I want to do, I just have to get doing it more regularly.
Help, how can I get back on track?

I'm tired, and I think I'm addicted to YouTube, Reddit, Facebook, doomscrolling, staring at hot girls on IG, playing video games, etc, I just hate it. I feel like I can only think short-term and struggle planning, and I often feel like I'm in "withdrawal" when I'm not medicating with scrolling and whatnot. I think those things keep me up later at night, too.
I'd love to get out again. On a nice hike. Rock climbing. In a cave. Enjoying a waterfall. Cruising on a beautiful road early in the morning with little traffic.
What upsets me even more is that I definitely have the time and ability to do these things, it's just mainly my mental issues and bad sleep and bad planning holding me back. I have a huge list of adventures written out, I know what I want to do, I just have to get doing it more regularly.
Help, how can I get back on track?
