How can we do Monitization of Page?

Monetization of a page refers to the process of generating revenue or income from a web page, social media page, blog, or any other online platform. There are various methods and strategies for monetizing a page, and the choice of method often depends on the type of content, the audience, and the goals of the page owner. Here are some common ways to monetize a page more...

Advertising: Displaying ads on your page is one of the most common ways to monetize. This can include pay-per-click (PPC) ads like Google AdSense, direct advertising deals with businesses, or ad networks.

Affiliate Marketing: Promoting products or services related to your page's content and earning a commission for every sale or action generated through your affiliate links.

Successfully had my english teacher read Phantom… she liked it…

[11kaki-11]

Started working on uploading batches of working video editing videos I had saved from the PS4 mainly about PSO2 NGS... I'll be breaking down the process in different segments before watching the full dish...

I'll be revisiting older videos that were unlisted and polish them up again... Working Videos will be on my 2nd channel... I'll be pushing for monitizations on both channels through video uploads and possibly streaming if I have the time to be able to stream on YT/twitch

Here is where NGS content will be in a playlist up on the main channel, the same goes for base PSO2 up on a playlist of their own....

A/n: there is no love here yet for Jiro and i need to fix that bc mans is my top fav. We love a tall, sciencey man w hot girl tummy problems over here.

Formatted weird bc I am on mobile!

TW: Fluff! Jiro is a bit insecure. He is also head over heels. Ending kinda sucks bc i couldn't think of how to end it lol

Synopsis: Jiro thought he knew a lot about you- average blood pressure, enzyme values, how your lungs sounded beneath the stethoscope- turns out you are also a talented artist.

-------------

The floorboards creaked as Jiro stepped inside, thankful Yuri had been awake this morning to give him his medication before he had to come do this health check.

Without his meds, he knew he would have to scurry away quickly, and his condition would prevent him from sharing a small breakfast with you.

He didn't quite understand his feelings for you- sure, he knew how endorphins rushed through his system around you and triggered the increase of his heart rate.

He knew the scientific reasons behind his attraction- he just didn't know how to react to it. The two of you had been in limbo- not quite together but closer than just friends.

He knew you reacted the same to him- could see it in the way your heart rate would be erratic on the EKG when he would do it (Yuri had banned him from being around when your heart rate or blood pressure were monitered, and today Jiro was just to draw blood and ensure you appeared well) , or the way your cheeks would warm up when his fingers brushed your skin.

His eyes scanned the church, taking in the homey feeling you had created since moving in.

Plants littered some of the pews, and you had cushions placed around for the cats.

He could hear the shower running, and assumed you were in there. While he waited, he wandered across the old room to set his bag on the desk.

He began pulling out his supplies, before sighing when he realized he had forgotten his pen.

Surely you had one in one of the drawers?

He slid the top one open, eyes widening at what he saw.

A drawing.

Of him.

He carefully pulled out the sketchbook, unable to take his eyes from the drawing as his heart hammered in his chest.

He looked focused in the drawing, and he imagined you had drawn him from one of the times he had helped you study.

Flipping to another page, he felt as if he couldn't breath.

Him again, awkwardly scratching the back of his neck.

You had talent, and you used it to draw him, a chronically ill ghoul who struggled to hold conversations even with people he liked.

"Jiro?" the sound of your voice caused him to whirl around, guilty he had been snooping.

His breath caught at the sight of you standing there, in a tanktop and pair of shorts, toweling off your hair.

"I-uh- I was just waiting for you to finish, Yuri sent me to take some blood samples and make sure you are well,"

He winced internally at his stumbling words, feeling his stomach turn at his increased anxiety.

"I don't mind you looking at them, you're just so pretty and I wanted to draw you," a blush coated your cheeks at your admission.

He opened and closed his mouth like a fish out of water, feeling his own cheeks burn.

You thought he was pretty? Half the time his already pale complexion was sickly due to his condition (and lack of sleep), circles that nearly matched his hair rimmed his eyes- not to mention his frequent bouts of nausea.

He jumped when your hand waved infront of his face, so lost in his own thoughts that your closeness had gone unnoticed.

"Ji, you okay? I'm sorry if I weirded you out." your voice was sheepish and oh so sweet, round cheeks burning with embarrassment.

He quickly shook his head, "no, you just surprised me. I've never really had someone be interested in me."

Jiro's voice was matter-of-fact, and clearly he was not searching for sympathy.

He had accepted his differences, and his schedule didn't exactly leave room for romance- nor did Yuri think such frivoloties were necessary. It wasn't until he met you that the consideration that he may be missing out had even entered his thoughts.

Yuri had even noticed, urging Jiro to just ask you out if only to stop distracting him with his 'mournful, pathetic expression and moony-eyed stares.'

Jiro had never really noticed nor cared about the captains absence of bed-side manner, though that comment had made him very aware of it.

"Well, now you do. I know you're very busy, but maybe one of the times you're free you'd like to do something?" you chewed your lip as you asked, n action he had long since learned you did when you were unsure of yourself.

An action that caused all his attention to fall to your lips, wondering what they would feel like.

"I think that would be enjoyable," his words came out softer than he intended, and your bright smile after his words caused his already hammering heart to nearly stop.

He wasn't sure he'd survive a date with you, but he would need to be incapacitated to not accept the offer.

was gonna do this on bsky but imma do it here instead

took my first adderall in 4 years today, instant release . holy shit is there a difference when im on it , but i wanna make a comprehensive list of effects it had on me specifically . note i guess is that im also on anti depressants now as well !

- Took effect in about 10 minutes . Felt effects start about 3 or 4 minutes after taking the lil white pill

- Lasted about 4ish hours - i can still feel its effect as im writing this but it is diminishing. the minimum amount of time its supposed to last , gonna keep track of how long it lasts throughout the month for my dr as well but ill do that seperately .

- Was able to immediately launch up my laptop and do schoolwork without hesitating or lingering on youtube or discord or on my phone playing cookie run or something . not just that , i opened the right page immediately while having youtube on the other moniter and i still never looked at it for longer then a glance .

- was able to listen to a video for an assignment . without looking at the transcript instead and guessing what my professors want me to say . minimal shortcuts . and while i was listening to it , i was able to do other chores i had been avoiding for a few weeks now including - laundry , clean my room , dishes , and I didnt avoid going upstairs to drop off stuff for the other residents in my household .

- did all my assignments plus ones i didnt need to do in 2 hours . without dread . i still didnt want to do them, important - the adderall didnt change how i felt about the task, but it removed and lessened the burden i feel actually doing it . the dread and the chains , gone . i could do it as freely as possible

- i maintained my ability to hyperfocus. which was weird . maybe its the behavioral part and not the actual chemical focus ? but basically i could still use the skills i had learned to help curb my adhd just . without the shackles of adhd

- also kept a lot of the creative thinking part . head was awfully quiet , didnt like that . But i could still make connections and do my usual analysis and work , just with less of a chance of getting derailed and losing my train of thought . distraction was much less of a threat basically

- switching tasks was like . easy ? is that normal? like i could just switch what task i was doing without it feeling awful or draining and then just . go back to the previous task if it was unfinished . so weird but really nice , liked that alot .

- autism sensory shot up super high . like normally im understimulated and need bright stuff to keep myself stimulated and sane , but with the medication i was much more easily overwhelmed by texture and sight and sound and light and stuff . had my LEDs dimmed all afternoon.

- similar situation with my auditory processing issues , just rhe opposite. they lessened severely , i could actually process fast enough with people talking and didnt need them to repeat .

- remembered shit ??? like i could just recall where a ton of stuff was when i needed it ?? i remembered stuff i needed to do beforehand like weeks ago ??? that was weird .

- needed to stim a lot less . didnt find myself bouncing or shaking my hands as much as i usually do - still had the bouncing stim but thats just cause i was super giddy the entire time

- blood pressure issue was a lot less of an issue - it was a big issue last time i was on it . im eating better and taking better care of myself now so thats probably why - oh and the hunger issue is less of a problem on instant release .

- i was so like - happy all day ? giddy ? im also on an antidepressent but the adderall just made it so much more potent or easy to feel . like i physically felt so much better mentally and emotionally .

- havent tried to write on it but my essays just doubled in length cause i didnt lose focus. cant wait to write a fic while on it and just go absolutely apeshit i hope . watch out eggio im coming for your chapter lengths .

- was able to put down my phone when i needed to . was able to stop gaming when i needed to . was able to just do alot of stuff when i needed to .

- also i am making a list of what happened and i remmeber what happened . clearly still under the effects of the medicine LMAO

uhh its basically worn off by now im only feeling aftereffects . but holy shit i cant believe i was ever hesitent about trying it . i was doubting that i needed it like one does and then it hit and i was like woah . but yea thats it thats all that happened

even MORE predatory monitization? in my kids game???

(btw from what i can tell this is basically a gacha mechanic! just to make it even worse!!!!!)

An I Hate Facebook post ~

Facebook encourages me to share my content. I'm a monitized account.

Yet they keep share-banning me.

I do not share more than the average - certainly much less than other monitized pages, and as I mentioned, I'm even encouraged to do so.

The only reasons I still play along are because I have a lot of memories with my late husband there, and I get more engagement there than I do anywhere else. As an author, that's important.

I'm so beyond over Zuckerberg and his ridiculous totalitarian online playground.

THIS PLACE IS A FCKING PRISON ON PLANET BULLSHT.

Hi i follow ur mademoisemuder tumblr account and I really like how smooth your lineart is especially the black & white manga style and regular linework.would you be willing to share your brushes or brush settings? A photo works to. I use clip studio & I’ve been dying to draw smooth lineart like you do! And your knife girl oc, to die for! A friend said she uses a brush size of around 6-7 with no taper and adjusts her pen pressure settings, dunno how she does it, how is your brushes settings like? I’m a iPad person and I recently got a screen moniter but it’s a whole different experience switching from procreate iPad to PC. Please share your ways por favor , -art anon

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

I use Clip Studio too! I use it on PC with a tablet (regular, not screen), so idk how well my settings will translate for you but I'm happy to share regardless!!

First of all, and importantly: a lot of it is muscle memory and training that comes naturally as you continuously do lineart. With time, you'll notice that the bigger swoops and long lines/curves that form a smooth line will start to come more naturally to you simply because your hands get used to the motion and you don't have to actively think about it anymore. Hands are cool like that.

(but also sometimes a stroke just takes 15 attempts regardless. Strg+Z is your best friend.)

As for the brushes I use, I'll put them under a readmore (got a bit lengthy)

First, for a rough reference/guide regarding the brush sizes, I usually sketch on the base A4 layout with 300 dpi, but I sketch small and not page-filling. Here's a thumbnail so you get a rough feel for their size on an A4 page.

Also I recently adjusted my pen pressure settings a little (under File - Pen Pressure Settings) so it now looks like this, but it used to be the default until a little while ago though!

Onto the actual brushes:

Most of the stuff on KG's blog is drawn with the Maa Brush from the CSP Asset store, so for example this, this and this were all done using the Maa Brush. I use it to sketch and line, usually on size 5-10, these are my settings:

Next, for very thin delicate lineart I like to use the Favorable Pen from the Asset store, which I used here for example. I use around size 20 for it (I don't use a lot of pressure so the line comes out quite thin)

For a lot of my more rendered art I use the basic Mapping Pen in Clip. I used it for example for the recent story-arc update in asksds or for this. I generally use size 6-10.

Back when I used SAI I had a brush called the Ballpoint Pen which I THINK I made myself in Clip (I at least couldn't find it again under that name in the asset store but I'm sure there are a dozen brushes like it) which is just a basic brush without pen pressure. I often use that one to get me out of a rut or to force me to focus on simpler shapes since it does kinda need you to be a little controlled to keep everything readable. I used it here and here for example. I use it at size 3 but keep in mind that I draw small.

I guess I could also mention that for most of the regular asks in asksds I use the Simple LineArt pen from the Asset store. There's no significant difference to the Mapping Pen, I just feel like the tips aren't quite as delicate as the Mapping Pen and I prefer that for sds...it might be an illusion though.

And we're done, those are the main brushes I use for lineart! Occasionally I try something different (like a G-Pen for a more textured look) but these ones are my regulars. I hope it helps!! (❁´◡`❁)

In honor of my Poetry Month and my genuine curiosity... What's one of your favorite poems?

oh this is a great question! I narrowed it down to two and then couldn't pick between them ❤️

my favorite short poem, and the poem I recited when I proposed to my wife is by e. e. cummings

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in my heart)i am never without it(anywhere i go you go,my dear;and whatever is done by only me is your doing,my darling)                                                       i fear no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you here is the deepest secret nobody knows (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows higher than soul can hope or mind can hide) and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

my favorite long poem, and genuinely my favorite work by J.R.R. Tolkien, is his poem Mythopoeia (below the cut for length!)

To one [C.S. Lewis] who said that myths were lies and therefore worthless, even though 'breathed through silver'.

Philomythus to Misomythus

You look at trees and label them just so, (for trees are 'trees', and growing is 'to grow'); you walk the earth and tread with solemn pace one of the many minor globes of Space: a star's a star, some matter in a ball compelled to courses mathematical amid the regimented, cold, inane, where destined atoms are each moment slain.

At bidding of a Will, to which we bend (and must), but only dimly apprehend, great processes march on, as Time unrolls from dark beginnings to uncertain goals; and as on page o'er-written without clue, with script and limning packed of various hue, an endless multitude of forms appear, some grim, some frail, some beautiful, some queer, each alien, except as kin from one remote Origo, gnat, man, stone, and sun. God made the petreous rocks, the arboreal trees, tellurian earth, and stellar stars, and these homuncular men, who walk upon the ground with nerves that tingle touched by light and sound. The movements of the sea, the wind in boughs, green grass, the large slow oddity of cows, thunder and lightning, birds that wheel and cry, slime crawling up from mud to live and die, these each are duly registered and print the brain's contortions with a separate dint. Yet trees are not 'trees', until so named and seen and never were so named, tifi those had been who speech's involuted breath unfurled, faint echo and dim picture of the world, but neither record nor a photograph, being divination, judgement, and a laugh response of those that felt astir within by deep monition movements that were kin to life and death of trees, of beasts, of stars: free captives undermining shadowy bars, digging the foreknown from experience and panning the vein of spirit out of sense. Great powers they slowly brought out of themselves and looking backward they beheld the elves that wrought on cunning forges in the mind, and light and dark on secret looms entwined.

He sees no stars who does not see them first of living silver made that sudden burst to flame like flowers bencath an ancient song, whose very echo after-music long has since pursued. There is no firmament, only a void, unless a jewelled tent myth-woven and elf-pattemed; and no earth, unless the mother's womb whence all have birth. The heart of Man is not compound of lies, but draws some wisdom from the only Wise, and still recalls him. Though now long estranged, Man is not wholly lost nor wholly changed. Dis-graced he may be, yet is not dethroned, and keeps the rags of lordship once he owned, his world-dominion by creative act: not his to worship the great Artefact, Man, Sub-creator, the refracted light through whom is splintered from a single White to many hues, and endlessly combined in living shapes that move from mind to mind. Though all the crannies of the world we filled with Elves and Goblins, though we dared to build Gods and their houses out of dark and light, and sowed the seed of dragons, 'twas our right (used or misused). The right has not decayed. We make still by the law in which we're made.

Yes! 'wish-fulfilment dreams' we spin to cheat our timid hearts and ugly Fact defeat! Whence came the wish, and whence the power to dream, or some things fair and others ugly deem? All wishes are not idle, nor in vain fulfilment we devise -- for pain is pain, not for itself to be desired, but ill; or else to strive or to subdue the will alike were graceless; and of Evil this alone is deadly certain: Evil is.

Blessed are the timid hearts that evil hate that quail in its shadow, and yet shut the gate; that seek no parley, and in guarded room, though small and bate, upon a clumsy loom weave tissues gilded by the far-off day hoped and believed in under Shadow's sway.

Blessed are the men of Noah's race that build their little arks, though frail and poorly filled, and steer through winds contrary towards a wraith, a rumour of a harbour guessed by faith.

Blessed are the legend-makers with their rhyme of things not found within recorded time. It is not they that have forgot the Night, or bid us flee to organized delight, in lotus-isles of economic bliss forswearing souls to gain a Circe-kiss (and counterfeit at that, machine-produced, bogus seduction of the twice-seduced). Such isles they saw afar, and ones more fair, and those that hear them yet may yet beware. They have seen Death and ultimate defeat, and yet they would not in despair retreat, but oft to victory have tuned the lyre and kindled hearts with legendary fire, illuminating Now and dark Hath-been with light of suns as yet by no man seen.

I would that I might with the minstrels sing and stir the unseen with a throbbing string. I would be with the mariners of the deep that cut their slender planks on mountains steep and voyage upon a vague and wandering quest, for some have passed beyond the fabled West. I would with the beleaguered fools be told, that keep an inner fastness where their gold, impure and scanty, yet they loyally bring to mint in image blurred of distant king, or in fantastic banners weave the sheen heraldic emblems of a lord unseen.

I will not walk with your progressive apes, erect and sapient. Before them gapes the dark abyss to which their progress tends if by God's mercy progress ever ends, and does not ceaselessly revolve the same unfruitful course with changing of a name. I will not treat your dusty path and flat, denoting this and that by this and that, your world immutable wherein no part the little maker has with maker's art. I bow not yet before the Iron Crown, nor cast my own small golden sceptre down.

In Paradise perchance the eye may stray from gazing upon everlasting Day to see the day illumined, and renew from mirrored truth the likeness of the True. Then looking on the Blessed Land 'twill see that all is as it is, and yet made free: Salvation changes not, nor yet destroys, garden nor gardener, children nor their toys. Evil it will not see, for evil lies not in God's picture but in crooked eyes, not in the source but in malicious choice, and not in sound but in the tuneless voice. In Paradise they look no more awry; and though they make anew, they make no lie. Be sure they still will make, not being dead, and poets shall have flames upon their head, and harps whereon their faultless fingers fall: there each shall choose for ever from the All.

Another thing I hate is people who claim that violence, non-con and such in fanfiction will normalize acting like that. Not because I think fiction cannot ever influence reality. Art is meant to have an impact on the viewer and seeing something presented to you everywhere can alter your perception on whether it is normal or not. BUT. Fanfiction isn't something you see presented everywhere. Fanfiction isn't childrens' cartoons. Fanfiction isn't what you find when you turn on the TV at 5pm after getting home from work. Fanfiction isn't the front page article when you open your browser. Fanfiction is something you go looking for. Specifically. Fanfiction is something you seek out knowing what you'll get. And fanfiction is something deeply personal, made first and foremost for the person making it and only coincidentally appealing to others. It's not the kind of thing that your child randomly finds by themselves if you're monitering their internet access like you should and it's not the kind of thing that changes society as a whole by influencing a majority of people. It's still a niche thing, even if it's much more accessible and accepted than it used to be.

"Why can't the freaks on AO3 just go and make a site for all the gross stuff and leave AO3 alone."

Because AO3 is that site. Because AO3 was that site long before you decided AO3 was better than the sites you bullied us off of before, and I can promise you if someone somehow comes up with a fanfic site you like better specifically for the 'gross stuff' you'll try to bully us off that too so you can benefit from it.

AO3's specific core purpose is to preserve fanfiction, yes, but it was also instigated as a host site for the fanfiction that kept getting yeeted off other platforms like Wattpad. Its designed to preserve all fanfiction, not just the fanfiction you, personally, think is 'allowed' to be written.

AO3 is the site for all the gross stuff the freaks make. We've been there just as long as you. We've been funding it just as long as you have. AO3 has specifically said you have a place here. The timeline was literally:

Wattpad/FF.net/LiveJournal purge fanfics > AO3 is born > The people who's fics got purged moved over to AO3 > AO3 gains popularity as the best functioning site > The people who pushed for the fics to be purged off Wattpad move to AO3 > The same people try to push for AO3 to purge fics.

AO3's source coding is open-access. You go make a polished, strict, rigid site where nothing 'icky' is allowed. You go make a site where you can control what is hosted. We already have our space.

[fleuriry]

you never forget your first patient.

or in my case, my first patients—plural. scattered across like fragments of a memory i'm still trying to hold gently.

today is my last day of ICC! that sentence doesn't quite sit right on my tongue yet. how do you wrap something that unraveled you in all the right and wrong ways?

when i was answering our comprehensive exam this year, somewhere between the first circle i shaded and the last one i erased three times before settling, i felt a soft unfamiliar ache: nostalgia, the kind that hums softly when you realize that you're standing at the edge of something—not an ending, just the super slow turning of a page.

my usual ritual? answer everything in one go. mark the tough ones. double-check. only then do i start shading the scantron.

but this time, every question felt like a doorway pulling me back to bedside somewhere. to faces. names. voices. like i was flipping through a secret diary i didn't know i was writing these past three years.

Entry #1: the smiliest 6-month-old baby with a metabolic condition caught early through EINC. asymptomatic. soft cheeks. no teeth. eyes that didn’t understand the gravity of the diagnosis but smiled anyway. he’d grab our fingers with that unexpectedly strong baby grip. and somehow, that made the world feel softer.

Entry #2: the boy in the wheelchair. hemiplegic cerebral palsy, but louder joy than any textbook definition of his condition. he couldn’t speak in full sentences, but he spoke in laughter. in sounds that filled the opd like music.

Entry #3: the tito with psoriasis. talked like we were long-lost friends, cracked jokes as if humor could soothe the flare-ups. and i laughed—genuinely, not out of politeness but because he reminded me that life doesn’t pause after a diagnosis, it just rewrites itself, a little differently.

Entry #4: the teenage boy with hemophilia: he needed a knee surgery, but couldn’t get the transfusions. not because of money alone, but because the treatment simply didn’t "exist" here. while we were doing our history and pe, he was playing on his phone—the “only way he could have fun,” he said and i remember thinking, how do you carry so much pain and still sit so still?

Entry #5: the lola in her nineties: sharper, warmer, stronger than me on most days. she’d call us “anak” even if we was just standing near her. “mas malakas pa siya sa inyo,” our blockmate joked once, and funnily enough, i believed her. she reminded me that aging isn’t the opposite of youth. it’s proof of survival. of choosing to wake up again and again, no matter what.

and so many more.

faces i may never see again but whose names are tucked somewhere inside my chest. stories i kept quietly, not out of duty, but out of reverence. not all moments were big, of course. some were just silent nods, quick chats with the mommies in the pedia ward. but for me, they mattered and they changed me.

my last rotation this year was pedia and it drained the hell out of me. every round of monits made me feel like a malfunctioning checklist machine. tick. tick. tick. repeat. then came the exams. the grand OSCE. i was tired. uncertain. i kept asking myself: is this still what i want?

but now that it’s over, now that the noise has quieted a little, i hear it again: the small voice that always brings me back to my why. the reasons i started. the reasons i stayed. the love that kept finding me—even when i forgot to look for it.

i hope that love continues to find me: in busy wards and quiet call rooms, in morning endorsements and late-night monits, in the warmth of shared meals with my blockmates. may it find me in the middle of chaos, and make a home in me again.

i’m scared, yes. nothing will ever truly prepare me for clerkship. but for me, fear is not the absence of readiness: it’s the echo of hope. and i am hopeful!! for new names, new faces, new lessons. hopeful that my hands will grow steadier, my eyes sharper, and my heart wider.

and i know i’m not alone. i have people who will walk beside me, who will hold my hand when i hesitate, who will help me with my prox and fix me breakfast when i forget to eat, who will remind me that i am not my grades, not my failures, not the one mistake that still haunts me. people who will say: you’re doing okay, and mean it.

i think that's what makes this all bearable, so far. not the prestige, not the glamorized lifestyle. but the people. always the people.

so here’s to remembering. to forgetting and remembering again (hehe). to turning the page, gently. and realizing on the next one, that i still want to keep writing.

even if my hands shake, and most especially if they do. :)

The Power of Competitor Analysis: Uncovering Key Insights for Your Digital Marketing

If you're not monitoring your competitors closely, you're passing up a goldmine of information. In the fast-moving arena of digital marketing, knowing what your competitors are doing—and most importantly, what they're not doing—can assist you in creating a space that's yours alone. Competitor analysis isn't copying. It's seeing gaps, enhancing your strategies, and being two steps ahead of the competition in a busy digital landscape.

This blog delves into how competitor analysis can revolutionize your marketing strategy. From keyword opportunity identification to ad spend optimization, we'll walk you through the need-to-knows to translate insights into impact.   

Why Competitor Analysis Matters in Today’s Digital Landscape

Understanding your competitors isn't just about keeping tabs—it's about uncovering missed opportunities and learning from what others are doing well. With the right insights, you can fine-tune your strategy, stay ahead of trends, and position your brand more effectively. Platforms like The Consult Quest offer strategic support to help you turn competitor data into actionable advantages. Here are the best strategies to optimize your competitor analysis efficiently.

1. Identify Your True Competitors

Your competitors go beyond just those offering similar products or services—they also include the brands that appear alongside you in search results and on social media. Start by understanding the different types of competitors:

Direct competitors are businesses that offer the same services in the market.

Indirect competitors target the same audience but offer a different product.

Search competitors are websites that rank for the same keywords, even if they don’t sell the same products or services as you.

SEMrush and Ahrefs are tools you can use to find out about these competitors by monitoring keyword overlap and backlink profiles.

2. Study Their SEO and Content Strategy

Deep dive into what your competition is doing for organic traffic. Are there gaps in the content that you could address? Go through their best-performing pages, look at how frequently they post blogs, and find the content type that appears to bring the most engagement—long blogs, list articles, videos, or infographics.

Ask yourself: Can I do something more valuable, more complete, or more interesting? This exercise helps you discover opportunities to provide unique value that differentiates in search results.

3. Discover Keyword Opportunities

Competitor analysis is a strategic means of creating a wiser keyword list. Keyword gap tools allow you to identify keywords your competitors are ranking for and you aren’t. This also helps you discover low-competition, high-intent phrases, and uncover long-tail keyword variations that could bring in more qualified traffic.

Targeting the proper keywords can assist you in avoiding the most crowded terms while achieving visibility in areas others have neglected.

4. Track Paid Ad Campaigns

Interested in your competitors' ad strategies? Tools like SpyFu and Adbeat allow you to spy on their PPC campaigns. You'll find yourself with access to a sample of their ad copy, their estimated monthly ad spend, and even landing page previews. This data is potent. You can tell which messaging works, which CTAs work best, and how their offer is set up. Then you can make your own campaigns better and more attractive.

5. Assess Their Social Media Presence

Social media usually is the point of first interaction for customers and a brand. Analyze how how often your competitors post, the timing of their posts, and the types of content that receive the most engagement.Take note of their engagement metrics—likes, comments, shares—and how consistently they brand themselves and use the same tone of voice.

You can also see who their influencers are that they collaborate with and what type of social proof they utilize. Tools such as BuzzSumo assist in monitoring which of their content items are most shared or talked about. These trends provide insight into what your audience may react to as well.

6. Analyze Customer Reviews and Feedback

Online feedback can be overwhelmingly informative. Scroll through Google Reviews, online marketplaces, and testimonial pages on their websites. What are the customers raving about? What are the common complaints? Leverage this information to refine your own value proposition. If their customers often mention poor support, highlight your exceptional customer service. If they're lacking a feature that's in demand, think about adding it.

7. Benchmark and Tweak Your Strategy

Build a SWOT analysis comparing your brand to competitors. This will assist you in:

Filling content gaps they've overlooked

Outranking them for underused keywords

Enhancing their product features or services

Positioning your messaging better

Leverage this data to continuously refine and enhance your digital marketing strategy. What begins as research becomes a guide to outperforming the competition.

Final Thoughts

Competitor analysis isn’t something you do just once - it’s an ongoing process. When you see what others are doing and where they're failing, you don't merely respond—you lead. Whether it's with better SEO, more compelling content, or focused ad spend, competitor analysis empowers you to stand out from the crowd and take your place in the digital spotlight.
