New York City Mayor Eric Adams seemed likely to be willing to assist with Federal Immigration and Custom Enforcement Agents where the federal agents can work side by side with federal immigration and Custom Enforcement Agents in arresting and deporting those who crossed the border illegally. U.S. Attorney General wasted no time in filing lawsuits against Chicago and New York Cities and The states of Illinois and New York for not operating the states under the federal government legal guidelines. Federal laws supersedes any and all state, county, and City laws, statues and ordinances and if there are conflicts between federal and state or city laws, the federal laws overrule state and local laws. This applies in immigration laws as well as deporting illegal migrants and birthrights legal issues.

If you are going to breed your German Shepherd Chloe, you have to know why your dog ate all her little of pups and that it’s a one off incident and it will not happen ever again. Those poor pups. The picture you sent me yesterday of two newborn puppies, are they still alive? Attached are pics of Skylar my female German Shepherd yesterday night when we had a snow storm and Chade, my big boy who is absolutely 💯 obsessed with his red ball.

Setting Up Alerts for Ranking Drops
-
Sign in to Google Search Console:
- Go to Google Search Console and log in to your account.
-
Select Your Property:
- Choose the website property you want to monitor from the list.
-
Navigate to Performance Report:
- Click on the “Performance” tab on the left sidebar. This report shows the performance of your website in search results, including clicks, impressions, and average positions.
-
Analyze Data:
- Scroll down to see the “Queries” section. Here, you can filter by specific keywords to see their performance.
-
Identify Significant Drops:
- While GSC doesn’t have built-in alert functionality for ranking drops, you can regularly check this report for significant changes. Look for keywords that show a notable drop in average position or clicks.
Using Google Analytics for Alerts
-
Link GSC to Google Analytics:
- If you haven’t already, link your Google Search Console account to Google Analytics. This allows you to analyze GSC data within GA.
-
Create Custom Alerts in Google Analytics:
- In Google Analytics, go to the “Admin” section.
- Under the “View” column, click on “Custom Alerts.”
- Click on “New Alert.”
-
Set Up Alert Details:
- Name Your Alert: Give it a descriptive name (e.g., “Significant Ranking Drop”).
- Apply to Views: Select the view to which this alert should apply.
- Alert Conditions: Set the conditions for the alert. For example:
- “If”: “Landing Page” contains “your-target-keyword”
- “And”: “Sessions” is less than (a specific number based on your average).
- You can also set the date range for comparisons (e.g., compare the current week to the previous week).
-
Email Notifications:
- Check the box to receive email notifications when the alert is triggered.
Third-Party Tools
Consider using third-party rank tracking tools like SEMrush, Ahrefs, or Moz, which often have built-in alert systems that notify you about significant drops in keyword rankings.
Regular Monitoring
- Make it a routine to check GSC performance reports weekly or bi-weekly to catch any ranking drops early.
By following these steps, you can effectively monitor significant ranking changes and respond promptly to maintain your website’s performance.

AdministratorJanuary 31, 2025 at 11:10 am in reply to: SEO IMPROVEMENTS ON SEARCH ENGINESI can see why you are worried about your website’s shifting ranking on the search engine, particularly because of algorithm changes. However, it is good to note that many primary keywords have returned to their positions in the last two years.
There are nine issues here, so allow me to address all of them in broad terms:
- Your focus on gustancho.com, gcamortgage.com, and gcaforums.com makes sense based on their importance.
- Also, assigning a portion of Anngelli, April, and your time from Anngelli, April, and yourself in one or two rewrites on the other websites can help sustain and grow their SEO performance while not taking too much focus away from the main sites.
On analyzing My implementation on the blogs:
Position Changes:
New Position:
- As it stands now, we need to calculate the search engine rank for every updated blog and see if any have improved.
Keyword Count:
- How many keywords is each blog ranked for?
- Post-update.
Performance Evaluation:
- Which aspects of the rewrite have any attributed improvements, such as updated content, keyword changes, and changes to meta description tags?
Position Loss:
Relevant Reasons:
- Suppose one of the above blogs has lost positions.
- The reasons could be too much optimization, losing backlinks, or searches made too general.
Strategy:
- If the rewritten article performed poorly after the change, consider changing it back to how it was.
Recovering keywords on gcaforums.com:
- Evidence shows that the lost keywords were recovered on gcaforums.com even with the outdated URL forum.gustanchoassociates.com.
- This indicates that the site’s content already had some authority and relevance, which the search engines appreciated and ranked.
On the number of blogs and pages on the given websites:
- I cannot determine the number of blog pages per blog and site.
- However, like other sites, each website’s content management system (CMS) can be accessed for a published post and page count.
- Alternatively, tools like XML Sitemaps or Google Search Console can provide information on the pages indexed for each domain and site.
This deep analysis effectively identifies strategies or shifts in behavior that will positively impact search performance across all your websites.

AdministratorJanuary 31, 2025 at 11:23 am in reply to: SEO IMPROVEMENTS ON SEARCH ENGINESDoing keyword ranking analysis is an essential component of an SEO audit. I’ve grouped some methods and tools that you can utilize:
SEO Tools
- SEMrush: A tool that allows intricate tracking of keywords by tracking the user’s position on specific words, their shifts, and their competitors.
- Ahrefs: This tool also offers these services but with higher tracking standards and position changes and shifts over a long period.
- Moz: Their Rank Tracker lets you track your keywords and tells you how the rank changes.
Google Search Console
- It allows you to monitor how a keyword performs on Google SERPs.
- This lists specific average positions, clicks, and impressions.
- Just prepare these reports on a set frequency to track where your position changes.
Spreadsheet Tracking
- You can manually record the keywords to be tracked in a spreadsheet.
- They should be marked weekly or monthly.
- The keywords are current standing, previous position, the date the records were taken, and some notes, if necessary.
Automated Reporting Tools
Google Data Studio:
- You can create your reports and dashboard by importing data from Google Search Console to track the keywords’ movements over time.
- Unlike other tools, SERPWatcher or AccuRanker offers keyword tracking for reporting without having to write down the data.
Track Your Competitors
- Spy on how competitors are ranking for the same keywords.
- SpyFu or SimilarWeb are good because they help you keep track of these things.
Do Alerts
- Take advantage of software that alerts you to changes in ranking.
- This is because these require the most immediate attention.
Gems
- Update Frequently: Fix a schedule to check your keyword rankings (weekly or monthly) regularly.
- Focus Core Keywords: Pay the most attention to tracking keywords that align with your business objectives.
Seek answers within the changes:
- Go beyond tracking and seek answers to the changes.
- Why did certain keywords gain or lose?
- Look for patterns with content changes, backlink activity, or algorithm shifts.
With these techniques, you can adequately monitor performance and respond with appropriate action to improve your keyword and ranking strategies.

AdministratorJanuary 29, 2025 at 6:39 pm in reply to: Mortgage and Real Estate News for Wednesday January 29th 2025Understanding the Elements Determining the Future Price of Gold and Silver – as of 2025 As we look at the elements in this infographic, it’s pretty clear how they can aid us in giving estimates of the rates of Gold and silver in the year 2025.
These elements and their economic effects are broken down in a simpler manner below:
Economic Factors
Rates of Inflation:
- History shows that Gold and silver are the best protection against inflation.
- Investing in Gold and silver can help preserve one’s wealth during high inflation.
Value:
- During periods of great economic uncertainty or recession, there is usually a spike in investments in Gold and silver, as they act as safe-haven currencies.
Changes in Investments
Investment in Gold will generally grow with an increase in real interest rates and decrease with low or negative real interest rates (nominal rates with no growth).
Growth Rate of US Federal Depository Institutions
The Federal Reserve’s policies directly influence investment decisions in Gold and silver. In many cases, lowering rates generate higher prices for these metals.
Global Issues Affecting Gold and Silver Prices
Political Changes:
- Geopolitical tensions or conflicts can increase demand for Gold and silver, especially from a foreign investor’s perspective.
- Events like war, trade conflicts, and other major political shifts can significantly affect demand.
- The trade value of the currency and forex is of core importance as the value of Gold and silver are integrated with the significant international economic position of the US.
- If the dollar weakens, the prices of Gold and silver tend to increase as they are more appealing to foreign countries.
Buying And Selling Activity
Mining Production:
- There are new and existing sources of new Gold and silver. Still, their availability is contingent on the supply of effective mining.
- If the production cuts result from certain environmental restrictions, strikes of workers, or empty mines, there could be a price rise.
Industrial Demand:
- Silver is an important industrial metal (electronics and solar cells).
- As one of the industrial commodities, its price changes compared to the price of crude oil.
- At the same time, Gold is an investment commodity and does not change in value as often.
Changes in Spending Habits
Exchange-Traded Funds (EFT):
- The price of Gold and silver is most affected by the purchase and sale of gold and silver exchange-traded funds.
- Prices are appreciated when there is a heavy investment in the fund.
Retail Investment:
- The demand from personal investors for physical gold and silver bars or coins can also change the price range.
Economic Developments
Increase in mining and recovery—New, improved technological strategies for mining and recovery will constantly and positively alter the pricing structure.
Fever and enthusiasm
Investor Behavior:
- The psychology and sentiment of the market tend to change the prices.
- Increased sentiment encourages purchases, while excessive pessimism encourages sales.
Predicting the prices of Gold and silver in 2025 will require analyzing numerous factors. Prices in the future will largely be determined by the state of the economy, inflation, interest rates, the geopolitical situation, supply-and-demand, and even market mood. Therefore, these indicators and other metrics will be crucial when trying to anticipate sentiment in the precious metals market.
