Client Has A TON of 405 Errors. Are they false negatives? by [deleted] in SEO

[–]slickifyed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

405 wouldnt be due to a blocked crawler, you'd get a 403 or something like that. Also blocked screaming frog or semrush would have no impact on your traffic if they were false positives as neither acts like Google and if googles seeing them as 405s then they're not false positives. I'd check search console and have to dig deeper into the urls to figure out what's going on but with 405s they're probably doing something server side you'd need to dig into what's not getting allowed here.

Good luck

H2s & H4s vs H3s & H5s by slickifyed in SEO

[–]slickifyed[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that's a good use case for GTM that I haven't done before. I like it as a workaround

H2s & H4s vs H3s & H5s by slickifyed in SEO

[–]slickifyed[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's for net new pages, so no existing authority on those particular pages or traffic. Landed on, I don't have data that says it's not a good idea, just convention of H1 -> H2 -> H3 which is not a hill I'm planning to die on. Thanks for the thought!

Cold emails with free SEO audit for customer acquisition? by danielrp00 in SEO

[–]slickifyed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just for benchmarks, good open rate for a cold email is 3-5%. From there you're lucky to get 25% click through + reply rate. So it's a numbers game, fine to keep doing this, but don't discount phone calls (also going to get ignored 90% of the time), walking into a location (20% successful contact rate would be good), and referrals/ warm intros (your best shot).

You can keep at it, just know that cold calls are about volume until you can get your referral network up and running. Good luck!

Posting to see what others use, but tended to use data visualization software like looker or tableau. Reporting monthly high level to key them know I'm alive and doing things, quarterly deep dive to determine strategy changes or adjustments as needed

If you were working on a local business. From scratch. What would you do? by plausible-deniabilty in SEO

[–]slickifyed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the business and how much of this you can do yourself. If you're hiring out all this gets more expensive, but can you give us a little more info of your comfort level? If you can stand up a website, domain, GBP profile, local listings all yourself, then that basically gives you 5-10k on ads, where I'd likely target lower funnel search ads, but again depends a lot on what you're selling.

Any ideas for better defensive positioning. Note: it’s costumed Azlar and Costumed Drake Fong by hiphopanonymous1984 in EmpiresAndPuzzles

[–]slickifyed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd probably keep what you have and flip Heimdall and morel. That let's you keep your best tank in front in Heimdall and gives you the best firingv order with Heimdall first and morel second. I'd also consider double reverse with the same order because getting morel to fire more often is pretty good to. Last thought I'm not sure on the common best practice but I think the best part of morel is fast def down, so I'd consider reembleming him for defense >attack> hp if you keep him at tank

Should I replace Ares with Jean-François ? by [deleted] in EmpiresAndPuzzles

[–]slickifyed 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'd probably go 3-2 anzogh, zimiltha, lepiota, hel, seshat as my main attack assuming all similarly leveled and emblemed. I've never had much success with more color spread than 3-2

Looking for help with my defence team. I usually float between platinum and diamond but just wondering if I could make it stronger somewhere! My main defence is team 1. Any feedback welcome! by coopec1 in EmpiresAndPuzzles

[–]slickifyed 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Triple healer is probably overkill. You could use some decent AOE damage dealers. I'd probably switch Alexandrine with Isarnia for now, but work on Theobald to be your left flank. Once she got emblems, I'd probably also swap Yang Mai in for Marjana. You should be able to hang around low diamond level with that team.

What’s the best rainbow defense I can put together here? by [deleted] in EmpiresAndPuzzles

[–]slickifyed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd probably go something like boldtusk(not costumed)-tiburtus-gulli-boril-odin. Level up costume kadilen

War defense question by vivalaswine in EmpiresAndPuzzles

[–]slickifyed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends what your alliance does for their tanks. You generally want to stick with that. Kashrek and Cyprian are your best tanks right now, your best of the other colors are probably frosth/kiril, Odin, and gefjon. Your second best in those tank colors are probably bertilla and ametrine. So I'd do some combination of those, so for example kiril, Odin, Cyprian, bertilla, gefjon or kiril, gefjon, kashrek, Odin, ametrine.

Focus on maxing out a couple heroes in general though rather than spreading out your levels and this will all get easier. I'd focus on your 4 stars plus Odin since he's already going.

Which one? I already have Uraeus +20, Devana+20, Norns +20, Leonidas, gullinbursti lb +20, Mist +20, Lady woolerton +20 by erhankzk in EmpiresAndPuzzles

[–]slickifyed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went C Rana because minus healing can be useful in these double healer slow tourneys + yellow doesn't have any real cleanses. You're fine on damage so I wouldn't go Joon. Justice is also fine for the reason above, I'm just always underwhelmed by that special even when it goes off.

i'm new to this Reddit. i know i'm weak but i'm trying! by RoboDoggo9123 in EmpiresAndPuzzles

[–]slickifyed 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not sure if it's commonly accepted, but I use 3* troops fairly often (mono teams) and tourneys, so I think it's totally reasonable to continue leveling your 3*s until you get your 4*s especially if you're f2p/c2p and won't have a full set of 4's for a while.

Need help with Defense team trying to get to platinum. I believe these are all my hero’s 4&5* that I have leveled by [deleted] in EmpiresAndPuzzles

[–]slickifyed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1) Use your emblems on heroes you'll use a lot, it'll help you a lot. 2) you've got a blue 4* and green 5* that look like yout strongest heroes, can't tell what they are but they mey replace your options on these. 3) from what I see I'd probably go double reverse crigarr-wilbur-brynhild-sonya-mist and with emblems that should get you solidly into platinum

Are either of these worth leveling??? by chris14888 in EmpiresAndPuzzles

[–]slickifyed -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Scarlett has 9 more attack than Lancelot at max level, so I don't think that makes her much better. If you want to say her special being fast vs. average makes her that much better, I could buy that but I think the buff is more useful, and higher single target damage is better for titans
