It's a nodetree + multiply!
You make a mixRGB node, set it as a multiply and then attach your image as the first color.
The ou make a nodetree group as the one on the second image and then you use it as the second color in the multiply node. The value node attached to the mapping scale property is used to add or reduce the number of lines on the screen.
I hope it helps you! :D

so Pepper! How did you and the system met each other? (If you don't feel comfortable or it's personal thing you don't want to talk about, you don't have to answer it)
Tumblr media
Can we not?
Pepper: Easy System, they're curious after all. They dont have a straightforward mindset that you do. The task at hand is a bit nuanced anyway, they're not doing much at the moment. Sounds like theyre just calming eachother down form panic and anxiety attacks.
We should be focusing on the task.
Pepper: No one wants to see bad news after bad news, Tem. Coming back is a good distraction for everyone. I will say, i love the filter you added on the camera for yourself. Its very pleasing. Reminds me of old timey CTR screens.
Thank you!

WIP Side Order blender stuff
Uh idk if people are still tagging spoilers but imma just be safe and put the screenshots under the cut
Ok so I wanna do a series of posters, and maybe an animation, for an Agent 4 boss fight. Not sure about the name yet, thinking something like "The Executive Order: Agent 4" since they're supposed to be like the head of security for the tower an all that.
Currently they're kinda just a recolored parallel canon inkling with some tweaked colors and a mask decal but this is what i got so far.
--
Mask decal is supposed to be a flame with a kinda ctr screen effect on it because my Agent 4 is a firefly squid
Tumblr media
--
oooohhh effects (there's a lot of digital cubes because why not its cool)
Tumblr media
--
Cube for a background decoration, like i said a lot of black and red cubes

💫My Dream Game💫
(This describes a video game I was playing in a dream)
The Context
I was on the edge of sleep this morning, and 20 minuets before I needed to go to school I fell asleep. The dream I had consisted of me playing this 2000s era immersive sim. The only thing I understood about the game was that I was playing a game mode challenge thing.
The Game
I started by looking at a normalized version of the first cruelty squad level. This means there was a fountain on the left with a receptionist desk on the right and a hallway showing conference rooms. I look and see solid snake, he is prone crawling towards me. I must run. As I turn around I see the hallway of a mansion with beautiful dark wood and a red wall paper covering the hall. As I start to run I also notice that there are loaves of steak everywhere, not only this but apparently solid snake is very hungry. The objective for me has changed from run to find something to poison some food and have solid snake eat it. I run down the hall and search a drawer. I find hella cool rings. The controls of the game were weird. Q and E to tilt, F to interact, C to crouch, CTR to prone, hold right mouse to control camera, and click with cursor on items to take items and put them in your inventory. The inventory was a grid based one like MMO RPGs, and it looked like it was made out of a deep red nostalgic granite. The dream ended when I saw that the rings gave me buffs like speed. I thought that was kinda stupid case solid snake is slowly prone crawling to me and I could run hella gas but kool.
I wana make it
Or at least a vertical slice or assets like the inventory screen cause I’ve been rhinking about this all day cuz it was soup kewl.

Unlocking the Fast Lane: Strategies to Reach 1000 Subscribers Faster on YouTube
In today's digital era, YouTube has become more than just a platform for sharing videos—it's a gateway to creativity, community, and potentially, a source of income. Whether you're a budding content creator or a seasoned YouTuber looking to expand your reach, reaching the milestone of 1000 subscribers is a significant step towards building a successful channel. But with millions of channels vying for attention, how can you accelerate your journey to 1000 subscribers? Here are some proven strategies to help you navigate the YouTube landscape and grow your subscriber base at a faster pace:
Define Your Niche: To stand out in the crowded YouTube ecosystem, it's essential to carve out your niche. Focus on creating content that aligns with your interests, expertise, and audience preferences. Whether it's gaming, beauty, tech reviews, or lifestyle vlogs, finding your niche will attract like-minded viewers who are more likely to subscribe to your channel.
Consistent Content Creation: Consistency is key to building a loyal subscriber base. Develop a content schedule and stick to it. Whether you upload weekly, bi-weekly, or daily, maintaining a consistent posting schedule helps keep your audience engaged and coming back for more.
Optimize Your Videos for Search: YouTube is the second largest search engine in the world, so optimizing your videos for search can significantly boost your discoverability. Conduct keyword research using tools like Google Keyword Planner or TubeBuddy to identify relevant keywords and phrases for your niche. Incorporate these keywords into your video titles, descriptions, and tags to improve your chances of appearing in search results.
Engage with Your Audience: Building a community around your channel is essential for long-term growth. Take the time to respond to comments, ask for feedback, and engage with your audience both on and off the platform. Hosting live streams, Q&A sessions, or collaborating with other creators are great ways to foster a sense of community and encourage viewers to subscribe.
Create Compelling Thumbnails and Titles: Your video thumbnails and titles are the first things viewers see when browsing YouTube. Make sure they're eye-catching, compelling, and accurately represent the content of your videos. A well-designed thumbnail paired with an intriguing title can entice viewers to click on your video and ultimately subscribe to your channel.
Promote Your Channel on Other Platforms: Don't limit your promotional efforts to just YouTube. Leverage other social media platforms like Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and TikTok to promote your channel and reach a wider audience. Share teasers, behind-the-scenes content, or snippets of your videos to drive traffic back to your YouTube channel.
Collaborate with Other Creators: Collaborations are a powerful way to tap into each other's audiences and reach new viewers. Identify creators within your niche or related niches and reach out to them for potential collaborations. Whether it's a joint video, shoutout, or guest appearance, collaborating with other creators can expose your channel to a broader audience and help you gain more subscribers.
Optimize Your Channel for Conversions: Make it easy for viewers to subscribe to your channel by optimizing your channel layout and CTAs (call-to-actions). Include a subscribe button in your channel banner, create compelling channel trailers that encourage new visitors to subscribe, and add subscription links in your video descriptions and end screens.
Monitor and Analyze Your Performance: Keep a close eye on your YouTube Analytics to understand what's working and what's not. Track metrics like watch time, audience retention, click-through rate (CTR), and subscriber growth rate to identify patterns and trends. Use this data to refine your content strategy and optimize your approach for faster subscriber growth.
Stay Patient and Persistent: Building a successful YouTube channel takes time, effort, and perseverance. Don't get discouraged by slow growth or setbacks along the way. Stay patient, stay consistent, and continue refining your content and strategy. With dedication and determination, you'll reach the milestone of 1000 subscribers and beyond.
In conclusion, reaching 1000 subscribers on YouTube is a significant achievement that requires strategic planning, consistent effort, and a deep understanding of your audience and niche. By implementing these proven strategies and staying focused on delivering value to your viewers, you'll be well on your way to reaching your subscriber goals faster than you ever thought possible. So roll up your sleeves, unleash your creativity, and let's grow that subscriber count together!

Fi help the post about the twin's babies having chubby cheeks has got me thinking about the twins themselves having chubby cheeks when THEY were babies. I bet they were such cute babies! And I bet they were put in matching Pokemon onesies, my first thought was a Plusle and Minun set but a Hippopotas/Hippodown is regional? But the differences in appearance are gendered. I just want to see the baby pictures Fi. I will go all the way to their parents house in Anville if I have to!
anon… better idea
cw: poly
You sat in the living room with a heavy photo album on your lap. After a bit of pestering and begging, you managed to convince the twins to take you out to visit their parents again. You had come to the home with a purpose, of course. Curiosity had got the better of you after seeing some other twins post their childhood photos on the internet. You had naturally seen a few that the brothers had taken with them when they had moved out of their parents' home, but there was distinctly a certain age group lacking. They had most of their child and teenage photos, but nothing from before.
Which is why you sat with the weighted book on your lap. Flipping through its pages, you witnessed the twins' childhood from a more linear perspective. Their mother had seemed quite orderly when organising the album, taking care to even date a lot of them. You giggled at a picture of them in matching green uniforms with nervous expressions on their faces while they held their degrees. Another picture was of them as teenagers, with Ingo attempting to pull off badly drawn eyeliner and ripped skinny jeans. Emmet stood dressed in relatively normal clothes in comparison.
You felt someone lean over the couch from behind. Their head rested on yours. “That was Ingo's goth phase. Verrrry annoying. Bad music,” Emmet explained, pointing to Ingo's picture. You giggled at his words as he moved to himself. “I listened to maaany pop songs then. Yep! Ingo hated me,” he explained. Your giggles became laughs. This attracted Ingo in from the kitchen, where he had been helping his mother prepare dinner. His frown shifted as he saw what you were looking at. He called back into the other room to excuse himself and took a seat beside you.
His face then proceeded to become bright red at the picture of him during his phase. “Ah… Dear, that was when I was having… A - um, now what's that word?” he tipped the cap he was wearing over his eyes. Emmet joined you in laughing as his poor brother struggled to find the words to explain himself. You turned a few pages to save him from his embarrassment. There, you found childhood photos. It was all charming, average things. Ingo and Emmet hanging out in front of a game console while Emmet played, a low-poly train model on the CTR television screen. Their outfits were nearly identical pairs of overalls.
Ingo smiled at that one, “Ah, that was that train simulator game that father bought us to make us stop asking him to take us to work with him.” You imagined having two children absolutely obsessed with trains, finding out that you work on them all day would make you want to find anything to distract them. “It only stopped you, Ingo. I still sneaked out to see them while he worked,” Emmet whispered to him. Your eyes travelled to another photo where a young Ingo fed his Litwick a berry. Her flame burned brilliantly on top of her head. Another companion photo was nearby of Emmet swimming with his Tynamo beside him. He was waving at the camera while Tynamo jumped out of the water to dodge a Basculin.
“Heehee, I forget that she started off so tiny,” Emmet admits, “My tiny Tynamo became a biiig Eelektross.” Ingo seemed a bit entranced by the picture of his child self and Litwick. His silvery eyes held a gentle emotion. He closed them for a moment. You smiled at their reactions. Flipping a few more pages, you found pictures of them as toddlers. Both of them stared at the book with intrigued eyes. Ingo was wearing a baggy cap in one photo, while Emmet hugged his arm with big eyes. Another was them napping together, back to back. Ingo's face perked up into a smile as Emmet cooed over the photo.
“You know, I remember the first time we had to sleep apart,” Ingo recalled, “Emmet finally had been caught after sneaking into my bed, and I cried that he should be able to. It was probably for the best that they stopped us in the end.” You wondered about that. The fact you still caught them napping beside each other even as adults went unsaid. They looked extremely peaceful on the couch while sitting up and leaning on each other. Another page was turned to reveal them both sitting around in a pair of onesies. Not just any onesies, Reshiram and Zekrom themed ones. Emmet looked at the camera with large eyes and a small smile splitting his chubby cheeks, while Ingo held a toy train close to his body with inquisitive eyes.
You cooed over the photo. Emmet blushed with his brother at your reaction. Ingo reached over to touch the photo. They seemed to have been attached to their colours for longer than they could have remembered. You all nearly jumped back when their mom looked down at the album with a soft smile. “Ah, those were the days,” she laughed, “You know, Emmet there wants a pair of twins as kids himself. While they're verrrry cute, I'd be aware that they're a handful. At least, those two were.”
Emmet averted his eyes and pouted like a child, while Ingo cleared his throat. “What made you want to dress us in outfits themed after the legendary dragons?” he asked, genuinely curious for the reason. The older woman shrugged. “I'm not sure myself…” she tapped her lips, “I suppose since they apparently had split into two from the twin heroes' disagreement, I felt it related to you both. Of course, the dragon of truth was the younger one in this case.” Emmet's sour expression deepened. Ingo nodded along with his mom's words. You wondered about that now, too. Twin heroes with a black and white motif.
“Well, you can continue looking at the album later,” she lightly tugged the book away, “Dinner's ready, and I want to embarrass my sons a little. Come along.”
You laughed once more at the twins' mortified expressions.

Why Dwell Time Matters in SEO and How to Improve It
Tumblr media
In the dynamic world of search engine optimisation (SEO), staying ahead of the curve is essential for achieving online success. With Google's ever-evolving algorithms and user-centric approach, the significance of metrics like Dwell Time has surged. This blog post aims to shed light on why Dwell Time matters in SEO and provides you with actionable tips on how to improve it. So, grab your digital magnifying glass, and let's explore the fascinating world of Dwell Time!
What is Dwell Time?
Before delving into why Dwell Time is crucial, let's clarify what it actually means. Dwell Time is the amount of time a visitor spends on a webpage after clicking on a search result but before returning to the search results page. In essence, it measures user engagement. The longer visitors stay on your page, the more relevant and valuable your content appears to be in the eyes of search engines.
The Connection Between Dwell Time and SEO
Dwell Time is more than just a metric for keeping visitors engaged; it directly impacts your website's ranking in search engine results. Here's why it matters:
1. Quality Content Matters More Than Ever
In the past, SEO was more about keywords and backlinks. Today, however, Google is all about providing users with the best possible experience. Dwell Time is a direct reflection of this experience. When visitors spend more time on your page, it signals to search engines that your content is valuable and engaging. In turn, this can lead to higher search engine rankings.
2. Reduced Bounce Rates
Dwell Time and bounce rates are closely intertwined. A high Dwell Time often translates to lower bounce rates. When users find what they're looking for on your page and stay longer, it signals to search engines that your content is relevant to their search query, ultimately improving your SEO Brisbane performance.
3. Improved Click-Through Rates
Better Dwell Time can also lead to higher click-through rates (CTR). If users find your content engaging and informative, they're more likely to explore other pages on your site or click on related links. This not only keeps them on your site longer but also enhances your website's overall SEO performance.
How to Improve Dwell Time
Now that we've established the importance of Dwell Time in SEO let's dive into some practical tips on how to improve it:
Create High-Quality, Relevant Content
Content is king, and it's the cornerstone of a longer Dwell Time. Craft compelling, informative, and well-structured content that resonates with your target audience. Make sure it's relevant to their needs and answers their questions effectively.
Enhance Page Load Speed
Nobody likes waiting for a website to load. Slow-loading pages can drive visitors away and result in a lower Dwell Time. Optimise your site's speed by compressing images, minifying code, and using a reliable web hosting service.
Engaging Multimedia Elements
Incorporating multimedia elements such as videos, infographics, and interactive content can keep users engaged for longer periods. These elements not only enhance the user experience but also make your content more visually appealing.
Internal Linking
Strategically placed internal links encourage visitors to explore other parts of your website. When users navigate through your content and discover related topics, it increases the chances of extending their Dwell Time.
Clear and Readable Formatting
A well-structured and easy-to-read format encourages visitors to stay on your page. Use headings, subheadings, and bullet points to break up the content and make it more scannable. This makes it easier for readers to find the information they're looking for.
Mobile Optimisation
With the increasing use of mobile devices, it's essential to ensure your website is mobile-friendly. A responsive design that adapts to various screen sizes will keep visitors engaged, regardless of the device they're using.
Tumblr media
Diving Deeper into Dwell Time
To truly appreciate the value of Dwell Time, it's essential to dissect it into its two main components: "Click Time" and "Content Consumption Time."
Click Time
This is the period from the moment a user clicks on your search result to the time they return to the search results page. It's essentially the time spent in your digital doorway, deciding whether your content is worth exploring further. A captivating title and meta description play a significant role in increasing this crucial aspect of Dwell Time.
Content Consumption Time
Once a visitor is inside your website, the Content Consumption Time takes centre stage. This represents the duration users spend actively engaging with your content, scrolling through the page, reading, watching, or interacting with your multimedia elements. The longer this stage lasts, the better it is for your Dwell Time.
The Role of User Intent
Understanding user intent is paramount in improving Dwell Time. User intent can be categorised into three primary types:
Informational Intent: Users seek information or answers to their questions. Tailor your content to address these queries comprehensively to keep users engaged.
Navigational Intent: Users are looking for a specific website or page. Clear navigation and internal linking can make their journey smoother and encourage them to explore further.
Transactional Intent: Users are ready to take action, such as making a purchase or signing up for a service. Providing a seamless experience and an easy path to conversion can extend their Content Consumption Time.
Analysing Dwell Time Metrics
To make informed decisions about your SEO Brisbane strategy, it's essential to monitor Dwell Time metrics. These metrics act as the compass guiding you through the vast sea of digital content. Tools like Google Analytics provide invaluable insights into your website's performance, including the average Dwell Time, pages with exceptionally high Dwell Time, and those in need of improvement.
When you dive into the world of Dwell Time metrics, you uncover a treasure trove of data that can revolutionise your content strategy. By regularly reviewing and analysing these metrics, you gain a profound understanding of how visitors interact with your content.
Average Dwell Time serves as your north star, indicating how engaging your overall website is. Pages with significantly high Dwell Time offer a blueprint for what works best for your audience. They reveal the topics and content types that captivate and retain visitors.
On the flip side, pages with lower Dwell Time indicate potential trouble spots. These are areas where visitors might not find the content engaging enough to linger. By identifying and addressing these underperforming pages, you can enhance user engagement and overall Dwell Time, subsequently boosting your SEO performance.
Moreover, Dwell Time metrics are not static. They evolve as your content and website do. By consistently tracking these metrics, you'll identify trends and patterns, helping you stay ahead of the curve in the ever-changing landscape of SEO.
The Future of SEO and Dwell Time
The future of SEO and its intricate relationship with Dwell Time is an exciting and ever-evolving landscape. As we venture further into the digital age, it's evident that search engines will continue to place an even greater emphasis on user experience and engagement.
In the years ahead, Dwell Time is likely to take centre stage as one of the most crucial metrics in SEO. Search engines are becoming increasingly sophisticated in gauging the quality and relevance of content, and Dwell Time is a clear indicator of these factors. Consequently, website owners and content creators must remain vigilant, adapting to the ever-shifting SEO landscape.
To navigate this dynamic environment successfully, staying up-to-date with the latest SEO trends and algorithm changes is imperative. These updates can bring significant alterations in the ranking factors that search engines consider.
What might be a winning strategy today may require adjustments tomorrow. The ability to adapt swiftly and effectively will be a key differentiator for those who want to maintain and improve their website's performance.
The Bottom Line
In the world of SEO, user experience is the new frontier. Dwell Time has emerged as a vital metric, signifying user engagement and content relevance. By understanding its importance and implementing the strategies outlined in this post, you can not only boost your Dwell Time but also improve your website's SEO performance. Remember, in the digital realm, quality content and an exceptional user experience are your best allies.
So, start implementing these tips today, and watch your website rise through the ranks of search engine results.
With the expansion of online content and the growing importance of SEO Brisbane for businesses and individuals, it's crucial to understand the intricacies of Dwell Time. This metric can be a game-changer for your website's performance.
Let's continue our exploration to further enhance your grasp of Dwell Time and its role in the realm of search engine optimisation.

Topic :- What Is YouTube Thumbnails and How to download thumbnails free
Introduction
YouTube has evolved into much more than just a video-sharing platform. It's a world of endless possibilities, and creating a successful channel has become a dream for many. While content quality is crucial, there's one often underestimated factor that can significantly boost your channel's success - YouTube thumbnails.
Welcome to our YouTube Thumbnail Downloader, your one-stop destination for quickly and effortlessly downloading YouTube thumbnails. With our user-friendly tool, you can access thumbnails in various qualities and resolutions, including 1080p HD, 720p, or 480p, all without the need for registration or any cost. Your security is our priority, and you can trust that your downloads are safe and secure. So, whether you're a content creator looking to enhance your videos or simply want to explore intriguing thumbnails, our website has you covered.
Tumblr media
The Power of First Impressions
Imagine you're walking into a bookstore, and the book covers catch your eye. The same concept applies to YouTube. Your video's thumbnail is the first thing viewers see, and it's the book cover of your content. A well-designed and intriguing thumbnail can make a potential viewer stop scrolling and click on your video.
The Art of Creating Click-Worthy Thumbnails
The Dos and Don'ts
Let's dive into the dos and don'ts of creating captivating YouTube thumbnails:
Do:
Use high-resolution images that clearly represent your video's content.
Incorporate vibrant colors and contrasting elements to make the thumbnail pop.
Add text that teases the content and sparks curiosity.
Don't:
Overcrowd the thumbnail with too much text or clutter.
Mislead viewers with misleading thumbnails. Honesty is key for long-term success.
The Impact on Click-Through Rate
Your Click-Through Rate (CTR) is a vital metric for your channel's growth. CTR represents the percentage of people who clicked on your video after seeing the thumbnail. A higher CTR means more viewers, which can lead to increased subscribers and revenue.
So, how does the right thumbnail affect your CTR? It's simple. An enticing thumbnail grabs attention and entices viewers to take action. It's like the cover of a mystery novel that makes you want to read the first chapter.
The YouTube Algorithm and Thumbnails
YouTube's algorithm is smart. It doesn't just analyze video content; it also considers the performance of your thumbnails. If your thumbnails result in more clicks and longer watch times, the algorithm will favor your videos, ultimately leading to more exposure.
But remember, the algorithm also penalizes clickbait and misleading thumbnails. So, always maintain transparency and relevancy.
Crafting Thumbnails for Different Content
Different types of content require distinct thumbnail strategies. For tutorials, you might want to show the end result, while for vlogs, a candid image can be more appealing. The key is to align your thumbnail with the viewer's expectation.
Storytime Thumbnails
When telling a story, use thumbnails that capture the essence of the story. For instance, if your video is about a hiking adventure, a thumbnail showing you atop a mountain with a breathtaking view will draw viewers in.
The Mobile-Friendly Factor
With the majority of YouTube views coming from mobile devices, it's crucial to ensure that your thumbnails look great on smaller screens. Test your thumbnails on various devices to make sure they're visually appealing and informative.
Conclusion
In the vast YouTube universe, your video is a needle in a haystack. Your thumbnail is the magnet that attracts the viewer's attention. A great thumbnail can be your ticket to success, with increased views, subscribers, and engagement.
So, put effort into crafting those eye-catching YouTube thumbnails, and watch your channel soar to new heights!
FAQs
1. What's the ideal resolution for YouTube thumbnails?
The ideal resolution is 1280x720 pixels. This ensures your thumbnail looks crisp and professional.
2. Can I change a video's thumbnail after uploading it?
Yes, you can. YouTube allows you to change your video's thumbnail even after it's been published.
3. How can I track the Click-Through Rate (CTR) of my videos?
You can find your video's CTR in YouTube Analytics, which provides detailed statistics about your channel's performance.
4. What tools can I use to design eye-catching thumbnails?
Popular tools for creating thumbnails include Adobe Photoshop, Canva, and Snappa. You can also find free online thumbnail makers.
5. Are there any best practices for adding text to thumbnails?
Keep text concise, use readable fonts, and ensure it's large enough to be legible on small screens.

Banner size is a critical factor in the success of your mobile ad campaign. It's essential to choose the right size to ensure optimal visibility and engagement. Common banner sizes include:

Creating compelling mobile banner ads is just one part of the equation. To maximize impact, consider these strategies:
Targeted Campaigns: Use audience targeting options to reach the most relevant users for your product or service.
A/B Testing: Experiment with different ad creatives, copy, and banner sizes to identify what resonates best with your audience.

As a marketer, it's crucial to stay adaptable and continually optimize your mobile banner ad campaigns to keep pace with the ever-evolving mobile landscape.

How Quality SEO Depends on Good User Experience?
Tumblr media
Search engine optimization (SEO) is crucial in improving a website's visibility and driving organic traffic. However, the success of SEO efforts depends heavily on providing a good user experience to visitors. SEO professionals and website owners must recognize the significance of user experience in achieving optimal search engine rankings and sustained organic traffic. This blog explores the critical link between SEO and user experience. It will highlight why user experience is integral to SEO success, discuss how user experience influences search engine rankings, and provide strategies for improving user experience to enhance SEO performance. Let’s get started.
Understanding User Experience
User experience (UX) refers to a user's overall experience when interacting with a website, application, or digital product. It encompasses the user's emotions, perceptions, and responses throughout their journey on the platform. A positive user experience is characterized by ease of use, intuitive design, efficiency, and satisfaction.
Website loading speed: 
Slow-loading websites frustrate users and increase bounce rates. Optimizing website performance and reducing loading times are crucial for a positive user experience.
Mobile responsiveness: 
With the increasing use of mobile devices, websites must be optimized for different screen sizes and resolutions. Responsive design ensures the website adapts seamlessly to various devices, offering a consistent experience.
Easy navigation:
Intuitive navigation allows users to find the information they need quickly and effortlessly. Clear and well-organized menus, logical site structure, and intuitive user interfaces provide a smooth navigation experience.
Engaging and relevant content: 
High-quality and relevant content that meets users' needs and expectations is essential. It should be well-written, visually appealing, and provide valuable information, answering user queries effectively.
How User Experience Enhances SEO
Lower bounce rates and increased time on site: 
Websites that provide a positive user experience tend to have lower bounce rates and increased time on site. When users find the information they need quickly, navigate smoothly, and engage with valuable content, they are more likely to stay longer on the website. This decreased bounce rate and increased time on site send positive signals to search engines, indicating that the website is relevant and helpful to users, potentially resulting in improved search rankings.
Improved click-through rates and organic search visibility: 
A well-designed and user-friendly website can lead to higher click-through rates (CTRs) in search engine results. When the website's title and meta description are compelling and accurately reflect the content, users are likelier to click on the link. A higher CTR increases organic search visibility and sends a positive signal to search engines, indicating that the website meets users' expectations and needs.
Increased social signals and user engagement: 
Websites with excellent user experiences generate higher engagement and social signals. Engaged users are likelier to share content on social media platforms, comment on articles, and interact with the website through likes, shares, and follows. These social signals can indirectly impact SEO by driving referral traffic, increasing brand visibility, and potentially attracting natural backlinks.
Higher chances of natural backlinks: 
Websites that prioritize user experience and provide valuable content are more likely to attract natural backlinks from other authoritative websites. When users find a website helpful, informative, and trustworthy, they are more inclined to reference and link to it in their content. Natural backlinks are highly valuable for SEO, as they signal to search engines that the website is reputable and deserves higher rankings.
Mobile-first indexing and the importance of mobile user experience: 
With the increasing prevalence of mobile devices, search engines have adopted mobile-first indexing, prioritizing the mobile version of websites for search rankings. A seamless mobile user experience, including responsive design, fast loading speed, and intuitive navigation, becomes crucial for SEO success. Websites prioritizing mobile user experience are more likely to rank higher in mobile search results, driving organic traffic from mobile users.
Strategies to Improve User Experience for Better SEO Performance
Optimize website loading speed:
Enable browser caching and compression.
Minify CSS, JavaScript, and HTML files.
Optimize images for the web without compromising quality.
Use a content delivery network (CDN) to distribute content geographically.
Implement responsive web design:
Ensure the website design is mobile-friendly and adapts to different screen sizes.
Use responsive templates or themes.
Test the website's responsiveness on various devices and browsers.
Improve website navigation and site structure:
Create a clear and logical site structure with well-organized categories and subcategories.
Implement a user-friendly navigation menu with descriptive labels.
Include a search bar for easy content discovery.
Use breadcrumb navigation to show users their location within the site.
Create high-quality and engaging content:
Conduct thorough keyword research to identify user intent and popular search terms.
Develop informative, well-written content that answers users' questions and provides value.
Use headers, bullet points, and subheadings to enhance readability.
To make the content engaging, incorporate multimedia elements, such as images, videos, and infographics.
Use compelling visuals and multimedia elements:
Optimize images by compressing file sizes and adding descriptive alt tags.
Include relevant videos and enhance the user experience.
Incorporate interactive elements like quizzes, surveys, or calculators to engage users.
Optimize for mobile users:
Ensure the website is mobile-responsive and provides a seamless experience on mobile devices.
Optimize fonts, buttons, and menus for mobile screens.
Use responsive images and avoid using large media files that may slow the mobile loading speed.
Implement mobile-specific features, such as click-to-call and mobile-friendly forms.
Conclusion
In the ever-evolving world of SEO, user experience plays a pivotal role in determining the success of website optimization efforts. A positive user experience enhances engagement, conversions, and overall user satisfaction and directly impacts SEO performance. By optimizing website loading speed, implementing responsive design, improving navigation, creating high-quality content, utilizing compelling visuals, and optimizing for mobile users, website owners can improve the user experience and reap the benefits of enhanced SEO.

Soziale Medien - Ihr Einfluss auf Gesundheit und Gesellschaft
Das Medium Smartphone hat bedeutenden Anteil daran, dass soziale Medien aus unserem Alltag nicht mehr wegzudenken sind. Ihn geradezu bestimmen. Mit der Einführung des iPhone durch Apple (†Steve Jobs) im Jahr 2007 und dem sich daran anschließenden Boom sozialer Netzwerke können wir nahezu zu jeder Zeit an jedem Ort der Welt Informationen senden, empfangen und soziotechnisch vernetzt sein. Was aber auch bedeutet überall und zu jeder Zeit erreichbar und abrufbereit zu sein. Wir tauschen Meinungen und Erfahrungen aus, pflegen interkulturelle Beziehungen. Einander fremde und weit entfernt lebende Menschen haben es mittels sozialer Medien so einfach wie nie zuvor sich kennenzulernen und Freundschaften zu schließen. Soziale Medien haben nicht nur das Potenzial die Welt zu verändern, sie gestalten bereits unsere Lebenswirklichkeit.
Klassische und moderne Medien
Wenn wir über soziale Medien sprechen, sollten wir uns zunächst einen Überblick zu den Arten von Medien verschaffen. Es gibt vier Dimensionen von Medien: Technizität, Funktionalität, Sozialität und Kognitivität.
Tumblr media
Abbildung 1: Dimensionen von Medien (Quelle: Rusch (Hrsg.) 2002)
Die Dimension der Technizität beschäftigt sich mit der Materialität eines Apperates und dem Verhältnis zur eigenen Körperlichkeit. Vor diesen Hintergrund gibt es klasssiche und moderne Medien. Während klassische Medien bereits sehr lange existieren, sind moderne Medien noch nicht allzu lange auf dem Markt. Zu den klassischen Medien zählen Zeitung, Radio, TV, Kino, Print und Plakat. Moderne Medien sind Computer, Smartphone, Notebook, Tablet.
In der Dimension der Funktionalität ist den genannten klassischen Medien die One Way Road und Zeitgebundenheit gemein. Sie sind entweder Sender oder Empfänger, entweder Speicher- oder Übertragungsmedium. Moderne Medien sind dagegen interaktiv. Sie sind zugleich Sender und Empfänger, orts- wie zeitunabhängig, Speicher- und Übertragungsmedium.
Diese Eigenschaften hinsichtlich ihrer Funktionionalität sind jedoch kein allgemeingültig zeitloses Kriterium für die Kategorisierung in ein klassisches oder modernes Medium. Einzig die mittel- bis langfristige Aktualität kategorisiert Medien in klassisch und modern. Heutige moderne Medien werden in der Zukunft als klassisch gelten, sobald neue mediale Innovationen auf den Markt gelangen.
Marketing und Metriken
Blicken wir auf Unternehmens- und Marketing-Strategien der Plattformbetreiber sozialer Medien begegnen uns Algorithmen, die auf Gewinnorientierung getrimmt sind. Dank umfangreicher Daten über Nutzerverhalten können Plattformbetreiber ein gewinnbringendes und zugleich kostengünstiges personalisiertes Marketing mittels Internetwerbung schalten. Werbeposts in sozialen Medien laden zum Retweeten und Weiterleiten ein. Im Gegensatz zu Print, TV oder Radio kennt Internetwerbung weder regionale noch nationale Grenzen. Mittels Metriken kann der Erfolg eines Werbespots oder einer Onlinewerbung analysiert und notfalls justiert werden (HYGH AG 2022).
Unter den Metriken gibt es Key Performance Indicators (KPI). Das sind Leistungskennzahlen, die den Erfolg einer Werbekampagne sichtbar machen. Key Performance Indicators im Social-Media-Marketing sind Impressions, Reichweite, Click-through-Rate (CTR) und Share of Voices (SoV). Impressions bezeichnet im Social-Media-Bereich wie oft eine Anzeige oder ein Posting auf einem Screen angezeigt wird. Impressions können mehrfach für ein und denselben Nutzer gezählt werden. Bei der Reichweite geht es um die Gesamtzahl der User, die eine Anzeige oder ein Posting gesehen haben. CTR ist das Verhältnis von Klicks auf eine Anzeige zur Anzahl der Impressions. Man misst so die Effektivität einer Werbeanzeige oder -maßnahme. SoV gibt an, wie häufig die eigene Marke in den sozialen Medien im Vergleich mit der Konkurrenz erwähnt wird (Kuhnert 2022).
Das Prinzip Filterblase
Auf Basis dieser Leistungskennzahlen und den Daten zum Nutzerverhalten wird nicht nur Werbung personalisiert und justiert, auch Themenbereiche werden, abgestimmt auf bisherige Präferenzen, priorisiert und personalisiert angeboten. In diesem Zusammenhang sprechen wir von der berüchtigten Filterblase. Plötzlich ist das World Wide Web ein personifiziert abgesteckter Bereich über deren Grenzen wir immer seltener hinauskommen, wenn wir uns von den Algorithmen leiten lassen.
Die Gelegenheit unbekannte und weit entfernt lebende Menschen kennenzulernen besteht weiterhin, wird aber unwahrscheinlicher insofern wir Gewohnheiten nachgehen, die bisher kein Interesse an anderen Kulturen offenbarten.
Im Sinne der Gewinnorientierung nähren Algorithmen Gewohnheiten. Sie bieten an was wir mögen, um uns auf die Plattformen der Betreiber zu ziehen und zu halten. Je länger wir verweilen, stöbern, umso mehr wir klicken, desto mehr Daten geben wir preis. Diese Daten generieren für die jeweiligen Plattformbetreiber Gewinn. Sie sind reinstes Gold. Datenschutz hin oder her. Ihr Wert ist beständig. Sie füttern die Algorithmen, die daraufhin stetig feinere auf uns zugeschnittene Angebote präsentieren.
Bewegen wir uns in sozialen Medien, drehen wir uns im Kreis mit vielen Gleichgesinnten. Es ist nicht minder gesagt ein El Dorado für Populisten, Demagogen und dergleichen. Abgekapselt in der Filterblase füttern wir und werden gefüttert. Wir erfahren Zustimmung, identisches Gedankengut. Sichtweisen bilden sich aus, verhärten: Zugehörigkeit, Akzeptanz und Applaus. Wir schwimmen auf einer Welle, fühlen uns gut, angekommen, verstanden. Kehren immer wieder zurück, um mehr davon zu haben. Sind süchtig nach jeden Klick, jeden Post, jedes Like. Richten uns aus, können nicht mehr ohne sein. Wollen immer wieder Akzeptanz und Applaus, um den Dopaminspiegel in die Höhe zu treiben (Kolonko 2019; ZAPP 2022).
Nachdem wir in den Dimensionen der Technizität und Funktionalität gestartet sind, haben wir nun die Brücke zur Sozialität und Kognitivität geschlagen. Die Dimension der Sozialität beschäftigt sich mit den Folgen tatsächlicher Gebrauchsweisen. Die Dimension der Kognitivität geht auf Intentionen, Denkstile und subjektive Sinnzuschreibungen ein. Die folgenden Kapitel bewegen sich schwerpunktmäßig in den Dimensionen der Sozialität und Kognitivität.
Fake News und Hetze
Eine Medaille hat immer zwei Seiten. Treffen wir auf andere Meinungen, kann es passieren, dass unbedacht Posts abgesendet und empfangen werden, die nicht sachlich, sondern persönlich und beleidigend sind. Nicht selten kommt es zu einer Gruppendynamik in dem weitere Posts dieser Art abgesendet werden. Die schöne heile Welt wandelt sich in ein Martyrium.
Fake News, die unschuldige Menschen einer Straftat bezichtigen, können schwere Folgen für die zu Unrecht Beschuldigten haben. Ihr Leben wird auf den Kopf gestellt, nicht selten werden sie gemieden und geächtet. Soziale Medien nehmen unverkennbar Einfluss auf unser Leben, unseren Gemütszustand, unsere Wahrnehmung, unsere Gesundheit.
Ungesunde Scheinwelt
Eine geringe Medienkompetenz begleitet die Nutzung sozialer Medien. Das gelesene Wort wird zumeist, ohne zu hinterfragen für bare Münze genommen. Verbreitete Gedanken, Ideen, Geschichten, Märchen lassen Scheinwelten erblühen. Wir zeigen gerne was wir haben und was wir nicht haben pimpen wir auf. Bilder sind zumeist überzeichnet und surreal. Mit ihnen entsteht ein Ideal, das in der Realität nur sehr schwer erreichbar ist. Doch immer wieder sehen wir makellose Körper, perfekte Welten, ein Lächeln auf den Lippen.
Wir haben die Angewohnheit uns ständig mit anderen zu vergleichen. Warum hat der was ich nicht habe? Was der kann, kann ich schon lange. Wenn wir es jedoch nicht schaffen, den gleichen makellosen Körper zu bekommen, in der gleichen schönen heilen Welt stets mit einem Lächeln aufzuwachen. Was dann?
Der dänische Philosoph und Schriftsteller Søren Kierkegaard schrieb einst: „Das Vergleichen ist das Ende des Glücks und der Anfang der Unzufriedenheit“ (Hornert 2012).
In dem vermeintlichen Wissen, dass das eigene Leben besser sein könnte, weil wir es täglich wahrnehmen und serviert bekommen, entstehen Gedanken und Gemütszustände, die auf dunklen Pfaden wandeln. Wir genügen uns nicht mehr, werden unzufrieden. Unser Selbstwertgefühl leidet, wir verlieren den glauben etwas bewirken zu können. Hoffnungslosigkeit macht sich breit. Wir verfallen gar, Im Falle niedriger Resilienz, in Depression.
Tumblr media
Abbildung 2: Einfluss sozialer Medien (Quelle: Kulturzeit 2018)
Wissenschaftler der University of Pennsylvania empfehlen maximal 30 Minuten am Tag sich in sozialen Medien aufzuhalten. Je mehr Zeit in sozialen Medien verbracht wird, umso höher ist die Wahrscheinlichkeit depressive Symptome zu bekommen. Besonders vor dem Hintergrund ständig unerreichbaren Idealen ausgesetzt zu sein, weil wir, obwohl es uns nicht gut tut, in der Angst etwas zu verpassen nicht davon los kommen (Hunt et al. 2018; Ozimek/Bierhoff 2019; Taylor-Jackson/Moustafa 2021).
Darüber hinaus rauben uns soziale Medien Lebenszeit und verursachen Gelenkbeschwerden in dem wir nicht mehr selbstbestimmt, sondern ganz automatisch Social-Media-Kanäle aufsuchen. Wie von Geisterhand landen wir immer wieder bei ihnen. Können den Blick nicht aufrichten, weil wir im Bann von Social Media sind. Der Kopf ist ständig nach vorn geneigt und zieht die Halswirbelsäule in Mitleidenschaft (NDR 2017).
Resilienzfaktor Medienkompetenz
Kierkegaard machte im 19. Jahrhundert auch die Aussage: „Je mehr Leute es sind, die eine Sache glauben, desto größer ist die Wahrscheinlichkeit, daß [sic!] die Ansicht falsch ist. Menschen, die recht haben, stehen meistens allein.“ und stellte damit eine für unsere Gegenwart interessante Hypothese auf (Schefter 2022).
Vor dem Hintergrund sozialer Medien suggeriert die Aussage eine unzureichende Medienkompetenz. Hinzu kommt, dass Plattformbetreiber und Influencer sozialer Medien fokussiert Emotionen triggern, die den Nutzern schöne Gefühle bescheren sollen. Der Wahrheitsgehalt in Posts, Vlogs wie Blogs ist eher sekundär. Likes, Anzahl der Aufrufe und Follower sind das Nonplusultra. In diesem Gefüge kann es durchaus passieren, dass viele Menschen etwas glauben, das nicht wahr ist. Wir geraten in diesem Fall an die Plausibilitätsgrenzen der Demokratie, wenn Entscheidungen aufgrund von Mehrheiten gefällt werden, deren Wissen auf emotional getriggerte Unwahrheiten beruhen und diese Entscheidungen gleichzeitig folgenschwer sind.
Das Phänomen Filterblase zeigt Tendenzen von abgeschotteten Parallelwelten, in denen sich Gedankengut ausreift und fundamentiert. Vor neutralen Hintergrund wäre das zunächst nichts Beunruhigendes. Doch in Anbetracht unzureichender Medienkompetenz in Kombination mit einer Fülle von Informationen, deren Wahrheitsgehalt nicht verifiziert ist, wird das Phänomen Filterblase zu einem Risikofaktor für bestehende Verhältnisse.
Hetze und Indoktrination in den sozialen Medien schüren Hass und Gewalt bis hin zu Attentate und Terroranschläge. Medienkompetenz wird damit neben einem Resilienzfaktor für ein selbstbestimmtes Leben auf Individualebene zum Resilienzfaktor auf Systemebene.
Entsprechend verleihen soziale Medien auch die partizipative Möglichkeit sich gegen Missstände zu organisieren, aufzulehnen und die Gesellschaft mitzugestalten. Der Arabische Frühling entwickelte sich im Fahrwasser sozialer Medien. Autoritäre Machthaber fürchten dieses Potenzial. Ihre Antwort ist Überwachung und Zensur, während sie gleichzeitig ihre Staatspropaganda einer unmündigen und geringfügig medienkompetenten Bevölkerung präsentieren.
Technoider Neokommunismus
Die heutigen technischen Mittel erlauben es jeden Bürger zu überwachen, zu steuern und zu kontrollieren. Vornehmlich autoritäre Staaten machen von dieser Möglichkeit Gebrauch. Bürger, die aus der Reihe tanzen, werden sanktioniert, verleumdet, geächtet und verbannt. Den Überwachungsstaat im Nacken sitzend, sind sie dazu angehalten soziale Normen zu hegen und zu pflegen. Jeder Schritt kann eine Sanktion zur Folge haben. Klarheit in Form sozialer Normen kann zu einem Sicherheitsempfinden führen. Andererseits neigt diese Art der Staatsführung dazu Angst und Schrecken zu verbreiten. Die freie persönliche Entfaltung und selbstbestimmtes Handeln sind eingeschränkt. Jede Offenbarung wird registriert und bewertet. Gedanken bleiben unausgesprochen und Gefühle werden möglichst kaschiert. Kalte Herzen frösteln aparte Seelen.
Aus der Angst ins Glück
Die sozialen Medien sind ein Spiegelbild unserer Gesellschaft. So wie wir Raubbau auf der Erde begehen, so unersättlich sind wir nach Likes und Follower. Gleichzeitig haben wir Angst Besitztümer zu verlieren. Wir sind unsicher, wissen nicht wie die Zukunft aussieht. Wir quantifizieren unsere Welt, um Sicherheit zu gewinnen und bewegen uns doch nicht mehr als im Hamsterrad. Wir sollten unsere Werte und Intentionen hinterfragen: Welchen Wert hat es, dass wir uns nach Metriken beurteilen lassen? Erfahren wir dadurch Glück oder ist es nicht mehr als das Junk-Food für den schnellen Kick?
Inneres Glück ist fern jeglicher Profitorientierung. Aus diesem Grund ist es von enormer Bedeutung weltweit ethische wie gemeinwohlorientierte Algorithmen einzuführen, die keiner profitorientierten Marketing-Strategie folgen. Darüber hinaus ist es wichtig weltweit in Bildungseinrichtungen ein Fach zur Erlangung von Medienkompetenzen zu etablieren, um ein selbstbestimmtes Leben zu führen.
In der Gewissheit inneres Glück in Kombination mit Gemeinwohl zu erfahren, kann die Transformation von einer profitorientierten zu einer gemeinwohlorientierten Gesellschaft vollzogen werden. Auf der Grundlage gesunder wie friedlicher soziokultureller und ökonomischer Bedingungen können wir einen positiven Einfluss auf unsere Umwelt und unsere Umwelt auf uns ausüben. In einer Gesellschaft, die nicht aus Gewinnern und Verlierern besteht, sondern jeder Mensch zufrieden und glücklich ist, niemand fürchten muss Hunger und Durst zu leiden, wird Verlustangst weichen und Neid, Missgunst, Habgier als Geißel der Menschheit schwinden.
Soziale Medien können dazu beitragen. Sie haben die Macht Menschen zu verbinden, Gesellschaften partizipativ zu wandeln und zu gestalten, Weltbilder auszureifen und Frieden zu bringen. Was wir daraus machen liegt bei uns.
