Sticking With Hasenhuttl Is Southampton's Best Decision Since Mauricio Pochettino's Appointment
Sticking with Hasenhuttl is Southampton's Best Decision Since Mauricio Pochettino's Appointment
These days, managers get the sack quicker than Neymar falls to the ground after a defender makes "contact" (you can read about why I think that is the case here). Managers whose teams have sat in the relegation zone for most of the season go down even quicker, with "dead man walking" a popular phrase in the discussions surrounding them. In fact, if Leicester City's title-winning manager Claudio Ranieri can be sacked a few months after guiding the club to a Premier League title that they had 5000/1 odds of winning then almost no one is safe if results start to falter a bit.
Therefore, it was no surprise that in the days following Southampton's 9-0 defeat to Leicester City, almost everyone expected news to come through that Ralph Hasenhuttl had been shown the door. What was shocking, albeit pleasantly so, that the news never came.
Southampton's 9-0 loss to Leicester at St. Mary's in October 2019 was the club's worst ever defeat. It was also the biggest home defeat in Premier League history. What made matters even worse was that till that point they had only won a total of eight points and were sitting in 18th place. Most analysts considered them as one of the favourites to get relegated this season.
It seemed like there was no way out in sight, except the one way that almost all clubs take in these situations: sacking the manager.
The Southampton board's decision to keep faith in their Austrian manager is, according to me, the best decision the club has made since they appointed Mauricio Pochettino in 2013.
I am not sure what specific reason made the board do what it did, but there were several indicators at the time as to why it made sense to give Hasenhuttl more time.
Maybe the board looked at underlying numbers for this season. From August to October, although Southampton were 18th in the table with only eight points, the expected points (xPTS) table, derived from the revolutionary expected goals (xG) metric, had them in 12th place (source: Understat).
Even simply watching them regularly made it clear that they were quite unlucky because of wasteful finishing, individual errors and lapses in concentration. Maybe the board realised that there was some legitimate and competent work being done on the training pitch, and that this work was bound to bear fruit eventually as Southampton's actual results would start converging with their underlying numbers and performance levels.
Let's also not forget that Hasenhuttl had been at the club for even less than a year at that time. He joined in the middle of the 2018/19 season and had no pre-season that season with the players. For a manager who wants to play in a very specific and direct manner like the Austrian, time on the training pitch is crucial.
Even though he had a full pre-season with the squad before the start of this season, he still very much had to make-do with what he had been given, which in itself was hardly great. Southampton's squad wouldn't make the top 12 on paper by any means.
Hasenhuttl's only full transfers were Danny Ings, Che Adams and Moussa Djenepo – a total of roughly 38 million pounds. Most of this money was financed by an outgoing list worth 22 million pounds, which included the likes of Matt Targett and Charlie Austin. So, essentially, Southampton have only spent around 16 million pounds while Hasenhuttl has been in charge, which is practically nothing in the footballing world these days.
This modest summer spending meant that not only did the Austrian have several players that were not suited to his high-octane football, but he also did not have a lot of quality players available either. This had led him to shift from his preferred formation to a 3-5-2 in order to accommodate the type and quality of players he had. The problem was that things were still not working out in the slightest.
Hasenhuttl was hamstrung and the board, to their credit, recognised that. They realised that sacking the manager would be counterproductive. There was an acknowledgement that it would lay waste to months' worth of a process that had clearly improved Southampton (albeit not on the face of it this season). There was also no guarantee that the new manager's process would be better or even as successful as the current one.
In essence, they did the exact opposite of what the Watford board did, which was to sack Javi Gracia a couple of months into the new season. They did so despite the fact that he was someone, like Hasenhuttl, who had done well with the club in the previous season (he had even brilliantly guided them to an FA Cup final in May 2019). They did so despite the fact that, much like Southampton, Watford's underlying numbers showed that they were incredibly unlucky to be bottom of the table.
Unlike Southampton though, Watford pulled the plug on Gracia. Their rash decision-making eventually led them to a point where they had to sack the very person they had brought in to replace Gracia, Qique Sanchez Flores.
Only now, in January, have Watford somehow recovered a bit from their shambolic start to the season.
Speaking of January and recovery, Southampton beat second-placed Leicester City 2-1 at the King Power Stadium a week ago. The result is impressive enough in isolation, but becomes even more praiseworthy when placed in the context of the reverse fixture and all the demons that were associated with it.
A lot has changed for Southampton between the two fixtures, but one thing that hasn't is the manager.
The club's recent victory against Leicester is a microcosm of their resurrection and revolution under Ralph Hasenhuttl – the manner in which they have turned around the 9-0 defeat into an amazing 2-1 victory is similar to how they have managed to win more than double the points (20) in the last 12 games than they did in the first ten games (eight).
The Premier League table from 1st November 2019 to today (i.e. 17th January 2020) puts Southampton in fifth place, only behind Liverpool, Manchester City, Leicester City and Manchester United. Since their 2-1 defeat to Everton on 9th October, they are fourth. During that time, they have faced the likes of Manchester City, Arsenal, Tottenham, and of course, Leicester City.
So how have they done it?
Well, it started with Hasenhuttl going back to what he knew and what made him successful – the 4-2-2-2 formation with a mobile double pivot in midfield. Since Southampton's defeat at home to Everton on 9th November, Hasenhuttl has used this trusted formation in every single game.
Within the system, he has employed a high-energy central midfield partnership of Pierre-Emile Højbjerg and James Ward-Prowse. Ward-Prowse, especially, has been impressive ever since the positional change. This midfield duo is perfect for Hasenhuttl's high pressing and dynamic system, and its simultaneous contributions towards the team's creativity and solidity are a true hallmark of this mid-season revolution.
With the change in formation, Southampton have become more aggressive and front-footed. Not only has Hasenhuttl started implementing principles of play that he is familiar with, the players have also embraced this newfound proactivity with enthusiasm.
To be fair though, it would be wrong to say that Hasenhuttl's side did not press aggressively before they started playing the 4-2-2-2 system regularly. His nickname is "Alpine Klopp" and it exists for a reason.
Passes Per Defensive Action (PPDA) is a statistic which measures how many passes a team allowed the opposition to make before initiating a defensive action. PPDA is generally considered an effective measure of pressing. The lower the PPDA, the more the team is proactive in pressing and winning the ball back from the opposition.
From the start of the season till 1st November 2019, a timeframe in which Southampton primarily played with a 3-5-2, their PPDA was 8.94 – the fifth best in the league. For context, Liverpool had a PPDA of 7.28 during that timeframe and they are considered one of the best pressing sides in the world. Newcastle, on the other hand, had the worst PPDA in the league at 24.13 (source: Understat).
So clearly, Southampton were pressing aggressively even when results weren't going their way. But since November 1st, they have improved their PPDA to 8.33 – the third best in the league. If you check from 1st December, it has improved even further to 7.94.
As the season has gone on, Hasenhuttl's side has increased its aggression and proactive attitude in playing higher up the pitch and pressing from the front.
One particular individual has been key in this entire enterprise. Not only has he been the leader of the aforementioned "pressing from the front" but he has also been a revelation in front of goal.
Danny Ings, a player whose career hasn't reached the heights his talent demanded because of poor luck with injuries, has managed to stay fit throughout the season and play all 22 league games so far. Ings has shown time and again that if he manages to play consistently and get into a solid rhythm, there are few questions or doubts about his effectiveness and output.
This season he already has 14 league goals from 22 games – at the time of writing, only Jamie Vardy has scored more. He is scoring a goal every 110 minutes, which roughly equates to a goal per game. Those numbers are considered world class in any scenario. To do it for a team that was struggling for almost half of the season and one that, even on its good days, is far from one of the best teams in the country is even more incredible.
In terms of defensive numbers, Ings is also delivering at a very high level. The gold standard in pressing from the front is Roberto Firmino. Surprisingly, the Southampton striker is actually on par with, and in some cases even statistically better than, Liverpool's Brazilian international if defensive statistics from this season are examined.
While it is true that defending volume does not equate to defending quality generally, defending volume still serves as a good measure in this case because the analysis is centred around attackers and how much they contribute to the team's pressing from the front.
Ings is making 1.1 tackles per game and 0.2 interceptions per game. He is winning the ball back in the final third, on average, once every single game. Firmino, meanwhile, has 0.9 tackles per game and 0.1 interceptions per game. He has won possession in the final third 0.8 times per game, on average.
Going toe-to-toe with Roberto Firmino in defensive numbers is no mean feat, and it is a testament to Ings' work rate and superb work ethic.
Regardless of whichever way you look at it, Danny Ings is invaluable for Southampton and their league prospects this season. So is Ralph Hasenhuttl.
So how have they done it?
Essentially, by not sacking the man who it seems is leading them to their first top-half finish in the Premier League since 2016/17.

The Pleroo Nation (TPN) is divinely ordained by God to move the BRIDE OF CHRIST (The Church) to the height, place, position, and status of completeness, balance, prosperity, and perfection in Christ thus, making her without spots or wrinkle, prepared for her groom and complete in him. Col.2:10, Col.1:28-29, Eph 5:27, 1Cor.1:8,10.
Our mandate is to raise men into completeness in Christ Jesus.
Our vision drives us to raise men;
- By equipping them in every sphere of life,
- By getting them full of God's word,
- By making them have an undying love for the lord and his work,
- By making them radical about reaching out and saving the lost and,
- By making them have a consistent fellowship with God which creates a healthy Hunger and thirst to know God personally John 6:35, 3:16. This will make them COMPLETE IN HIM Col 2:10
Raising men into completeness in God…..Col 2:10
G: Giving to missions and the needy
R: Reviving the land.
A: Authority in Christ.
C: Covenanting with God.
E: Evangelism.
1. Pleasing God.
2. Living in His Grace.
3. Revealing His Glory.
The presence of people makes the earth a habitation, thus the absence of people makes the earth a desert. Men are assets to success and no man is an island or compendium of knowledge. Hinged on these, destinies are tied to each other little wonder you are one to four persons away from the person you need. Men who go far in life and attain great heights are men who value fellow men. Sequel to the preceding paragraph we [TPN] believe in the resources in men because we know that God uses men to work. Our mission is to RAISE 'MEN', not the air.
As a commission, total submission to the mandate is our total take, we are sold out to ensure every man committed to us by our Heavenly Father attains the height, status, place, and position of completeness, balance, prosperity, and perfection in Christ; because for this purpose were we made manifest.
In order to fulfill this purpose, we endlessly and tirelessly deliver teachings inspired by the Holy Spirit and organize programmes geared towards our purpose. For these teachings to be planted, germinate and grow into trees to feed men it requires a soil, which is the heart. The mandate of The Pleroo Nation makes her of great importance to humanity.
Every man has a gift deposited by God in him to make him a gift to humanity, and one of the keys to prosperity is maximizing of gifts (Pro. 18:16, Pro. 17:8). Gifts are to be treasured, precious, and treated with respect and also given utmost preference.
Being that our core message is Jesus Christ and you are gifted by God and a gift to us, you are one of God's numerous human keys to the doors of many hearts. God uses man to carry out His purposes on earth; hence, we believe that God can use every individual who avails himself/herself to carry out His purpose on earth.
The Pleroo Nation is a spiritual and physical going concern this implies, that she continues to operate in a continuous glory to glory increase pattern till Jesus comes to take the church. Everyone who is a committed part of The Pleroo Nation should expect the same glory to glory experience in their lives. As a result of this, our future in TPN is a glory to glory experience until Jesus comes.
But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day. Proverbs 4:18
Our God-given areas of concentration in a bid to fulfill our heavenly mandate are called pillars. The word of God is holistic and compound as such these pillars are given for efficient and effective delivery of our mandate.
- The Word of God. Gen 1:1-28, John 1:1-10
- Prosperity. Job 36:11,Psa 35:27,John 10:10

Do you have a washing machine at home? If you do, you're probably familiar with the term "washing machine sludge." But what exactly is it? What's more, why does it happen, and what can you do to avoid it? Sludge is a build-up of dirt, detergent residue, and fabric softener in your washing machine that can accumulate over time.
If left uncontrolled, it can cause various issues, including foul odours, decreased efficiency, and even clothing damage. The good news is that you can prevent sludge from accumulating in your washing machine by following a few simple measures. Here's everything you need to know.
What Is Washing Machine Sludge
Washing machine sludge is a thick viscous material that accumulates in the drainage system of washing machines. It is composed of detergent, fabric softener, dirt, and other debris. In most cases, washing machine sludge can be removed by cleaning the drain hose and trap with a plunger or plumber's snake. However, if the sludge has hardened and formed a clog, it may need to be removed.
Washing machine sludge is a problem because it can cause clogs in the washing machine drain system. These clogs can eventually lead to flooding and water damage if left unchecked. Additionally, the sludge can attract insects and other pests, further complicating the problem.
If you have a top-loading washing machine, the sludge can build up in the agitator (the central column that spins clothes), causing the agitator to stop working correctly and leading to a complete breakdown.
If you have a front-loading washing machine, the sludge can build up in the door seal (the rubber gasket that surrounds the door). This can cause the washing machine to leak water and lead to mould and mildew growth.
How To Remove Washing Machine Sludge
There are a few ways to remove washing machine sludge from your home. One way is to clean the drain hose and trap it with a plunger or a plumber's snake. This will loosen the sludge and allow it to be flushed out of the system. Another way to remove washing machine sludge is to use a chemical cleaner specifically designed.
These cleaners will break down the sludge and allow it to be flushed away. If the sludge has hardened and formed a clog, you may need to have it removed by a professional.
How To Prevent Washing Machine Sludge
One way to prevent washing machine sludge is to use a lint trap on your washing machine. This will catch any lint or debris washed from your clothes and keep them from going down the drain. Another way to prevent washing machine sludge is to use a high-quality detergent that does not leave behind a lot of residues. This will help to keep the sludge from forming in the first place.
Finally, you can avoid overloading your washing machine so that the clothes have enough room to move around and get clean. This will help prevent the build-up of dirt and debris in the machine.
What Are The Risks Of Washing Machine Sludge
There are many risks of washing machine sludge. It can contain harmful bacteria, viruses, parasites, and other microorganisms that cause serious illness in humans. It can also contaminate food and water supplies and cause environmental pollution. Sludge can also block drains and sewerage systems. Domestic and commercial laundry machines often generate washing machine sludge.
The waste material is typically composed of lint, hair, grease, oils, detergent residues, sand and other particles collected during the washing process. This waste material can build up over time and become a health hazard if not correctly disposed of. Washing machine sludge should be removed from your laundry machine regularly. You can do this by using a sludge remover or manually cleaning the machine.
It is essential to dispose of washing machine sludge properly to avoid food and water supplies contamination and to prevent environmental pollution. The best way to dispose of washing machine sludge is to send it to a sewage treatment plant, where it will be treated and disposed of properly. You can also contact your local waste management company for more information on how to dispose of this waste material.
If you have any concerns about the risks of washing machine sludge, it is best to speak to a professional. A qualified laundry appliance technician can advise you on cleaning and maintaining your machine to prevent this waste material from building up. They can also recommend the correct way to dispose of washing machine sludge.
What Is The Influence Of Dirt Residue On The Washing Machine And Laundry
Dirt residue can cause several problems with your washing machine and laundry. It can lead to decreased efficiency, as the dirt will build upon the machine's moving parts and prevent them from working correctly. This can also increase wear and tear on the device and your laundry. The dirt can also cause your washing machine to smell bad, as it will start to rot and produce unpleasant odours.
Finally, the ground can also attract insects and other pests, further damaging your machine and laundry. It is essential to keep your washing machine and laundry clean to prevent these problems. You should regularly clean the inside of your device and the drum, filters, and other parts. You should also clean your laundry regularly, using a mild detergent and avoiding harsh chemicals.
If you find dirt residue on your machine or laundry, you should immediately remove it to prevent further damage.
Washing Machine Sludge: The Problem And The Solutions
Nothing is more frustrating than pulling purportedly clean laundry from the washer and seeing it is covered in murky sludge and unclean markings. The creation of dirt is the most common source of filth. However, there are other causes for this issue, each with its answers. Fortunately, the majority of these problems are straightforward to resolve! Washing machine sludge is more than just a nuisance; it can be dangerous.
If not cleaned regularly, it can lead to the growth of harmful bacteria that can cause infections. It can also damage your clothing, leading to premature wear and tear.
Cause 1: Using Only Cold Washes
If your washing machine only has a cold-water setting, you could unknowingly create sludge. Over time, the detergent, fabric softener, and other laundry products can build up in your washer and form a sticky mess. Even if you think you are diligent about cleaning your machine, this residue can eventually lead to a foul odour.
If you have a hot-water setting on your washing machine, start using it. Hot water will break down the residue and help keep your engine clean. If you don't have a hot-water setting, run your machine with vinegar once a month to help remove any build-up.
Cause 2: Limescale Deposition
Limescale is a chalky white substance that can build up on the inside of your washing machine. This happens when water contains high levels of calcium and magnesium minerals. Over time, these minerals can form a hard, crusty deposit on your machine's heating elements, detergent dispenser, and other metal parts. If you have hard water, you are more likely to see limescale deposits in your washing machine.
You can test the hardness of your water using a simple home kit. If you have high levels of calcium and magnesium in your water, you can use a water softener to help prevent limescale buildup.
If your washing machine has limescale deposits, you may notice that your clothes are not getting as clean as usual. In extreme cases, limescale buildup can cause your washing machine to catch fire. The deposits can also cause your engine to overheat and break down.
To help prevent limescale buildup in your washing machine, you can use a water softener or descaling solution. You can also descale your machine regularly with vinegar or lemon juice. If you see limescale deposits on your device, you can remove them with a vinegar or lemon juice solution. Run a cycle on the hottest setting to remove the residues.
Mix equal parts vinegar or lemon juice with water and pour it into the detergent dispenser. You can also use a commercial descaling solution, CLR or Lime-A-Way. Follow the instructions on the product label.
Cause 3: Excessive Detergent Use
Using too much detergent in your washing machine can build up soap scum and residue on your clothing. This can cause your clothes to smell musty and feel stiff. To avoid this, only use the amount of detergent recommended by the manufacturer. If you have hard water, you may need to use less detergent to prevent a build-up of soap scum.
If you have already noticed a build-up of soap scum on your clothing, you can try adding vinegar to your wash cycle. Vinegar is a natural fabric softener that will help break down the soap scum. You can also add baking soda to your laundry to help remove soap scum and odours.
Cause 4: Detergent Drawer Clog
If your washing machine has a detachable detergent drawer, it's possible that the holes that release the detergent can become clogged with built-up residue over time. If this is the case, you'll need to clean out the drawer to restore proper function. If your washing machine doesn't have a detachable detergent drawer, you'll need to clean the whole machine. Consult your owner's manual for instructions on how to do this.
Symptoms: The washing machine doesn't fill with water or fills slowly.
How to fix it: Remove the detergent drawer and clean it with a soft brush and warm, soapy water. Rinse it thoroughly and dry it before putting it back in the machine. If the problem persists, consult your owner's manual and clean the entire machine.
Cause 5: Gasket Gunk
If your washing machine is starting to smell, it could be because of a build-up of grime and detergent residue on the door gasket. Over time, this can create a pungent odour that will linger in your laundry room. Fortunately, cleaning the door gasket is a relatively easy fix. Simply remove the gasket and scrub it with a brush or sponge to remove any residue.
You may also need to use a mild bleach solution to kill any mould or mildew that has formed. Once the gasket is clean, dry it thoroughly before replacing it. This will help prevent bacteria from growing and causing future odours. If you have a front-loading washing machine, you may also need to clean the rubber seal around the door. This can be done using the same method as above.
Cause 6: Not Cleaning Your Machine Regularly
If you don't clean your washing machine regularly, the same build-up from cause 1 can occur. In addition, not washing your device can also lead to mould and mildew growth. These can cause serious health problems, so it's essential to keep your washer clean and free of these nasty substances. An excellent way to clean your machine is to use a washing machine cleaner every month.
This will help keep it in top condition and ensure that it works effectively for many years. Regular cleaning will also help prevent the build-up of sludge and detergent residue, which can cause your washing machine to become less efficient over time.
Washing Machine For Front Loader: How To Clean It
Like any other appliance in your home, your washing machine needs to be cleaned regularly to work correctly. Over time, laundry detergent, fabric softener, dirt, and grime can build up inside the device, causing it to become less efficient and potentially damaging your clothes. Fortunately, cleaning a front load washing machine is relatively easy and only takes a few minutes. Here are the steps you need to take:
1) Unplug the machine from the power outlet and disconnect the water supply.
2) Remove any clothing or laundry from the washing machine.
3) Using a soft cloth, wipe down the inside of the machine, including the door seal and gasket.
4) Fill a bucket with warm water and add a cup of white vinegar.
5) Dip a cloth into the vinegar solution and use it to clean the detergent dispenser drawer.
6) Pour the vinegar solution into the washing machine and run a normal cycle.
7) When the cycle is finished, run another cycle with just plain water to remove any residue.
8) Once the machine is dehydrated, plug it back in and reconnect the water supply.
9) Load a small load of laundry and run a normal cycle to ensure that the machine is working correctly.
If you have a front load washing machine, it's essential to clean it regularly to prevent build-up and ensure that it continues to work correctly. Luckily, washing a front load washing machine is relatively easy and only takes a few minutes. Follow the steps above, and your device will be as good as new!

The cryptocurrency market struggled hard for the week following the Fed's rate hike. Despite Friday's sales, Bitcoin, Cardano and ETH have now not allowed the critical foundations to be broken. However, the Fed rate hike continues to cloud the macro picture.
Analysts say Bitcoin should maintain this level by November
Bitcoin managed to hold above the post-FOMC base level of around $18,150 weekly. Thus, it took a position in an ideal region to start next week. The volatility caused by the FOMC did not allow Bitcoin to retrace the key spiritual resistance of $20,000. Since Wednesday, the price has settled lower, around $19,500. Interestingly, the price's failure to test weekly lows again during Friday's big risk selling opens the door to some potentially modest weekend benefits.
Investors will likely watch the crypto markets over the weekend as they look for risk when major markets are closed. Given the situation, analyst Brendan Fagan says the bears could give the bears a try for around $18,300 on the holiday. Let's point out that BTC is currently inconvenient for this.
Ethereum (ETH) is one step behind compared to PoSs such as Cardano and Solana
ETH is currently trading at $1,325. In the last 24 hours, buyers helped break outside the descending trendline. Sudden and strong resistance holds $1,400. The altcoin has struggled to break through this level over the past few weeks. Analyst byanushsamal expects an attack to $1,700 if we break $1,400 in the coming days. However, if the bulls fail to do so and the bears reach $1,100, then $1,000 gold will clear the way for Ethereum.
However, technical indicators point to a bearish outlook. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is below the half line. This shows that there are fewer buyers than sellers. Ethereum price was below the 20-SMA line, which means low demand. This literally meant that sellers were driving the price momentum in the market.
ETH's other indicators also show that the seller is next. Demand needs to rise for Ethereum to touch the next level of resistance. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) shows the price momentum and overall price action. MACD is currently bearish. It generated red histograms at the time of writing. This reading is tied to a sell signal for Ethereum. CMF was below the half-line, although there was an indicator increase. According to the analyst, this indicates lower capital inflows and, as a result, more sales potential.
Cardano completes Vasil upgrade
Koindeks.com As you follow, Cardano, just like Ethereum, completed the significant rise in September. ADA price now moves sideways after the initial green turns. The altcoin has been stuck in the middle of $0.50 and $0.44, respectively, over the past few weeks. The reinforcement zone for Cardano price is in the middle of $0.44 and $0.40 respectively. But Bitcoin has shown signs of gaining value in the past 24 hours. If ADA's purchasing power does not move into the positive territory, the bulls could quickly lose their power, according to the analyst.
ADA was currently trading at $0.45. It broke one of the resistance levels in the last 24 hours. The immediate resistance level for Cardano is at $0.49. If the bulls manage to break above this level, it will mark the start of a more persistent positive trend. On the other hand, if buyers don't come forward, Cardano price will drop below $0.43 and then $0.40.
The ADA is showing signs of recovery on the daily chart. Technical indicators point to the bulls taking control. At the time of this writing, the RSI was below the halfway line. This indicated that the buying pressure remained higher than the selling pressure. Cardano price was below the 20-SMA line, which meant less demand as sellers were driving the price momentum in the market. Under pressure from the buyers, ADA may break above the 20-SMA and 50-SMA lines, invalidating the bearish thesis.
ADA bulls still haven't gained momentum on the one-day chart. The bulls will not be able to push the altcoin price above the $0.49 level unless the buyers outgrow the strength of the sellers. Also, the MACD entered a bearish trend and formed red histograms, which are a sell signal for ADA. The Bilateral Movement Index measures the overall price side. DMI was negative because the -DI line was above the +DI line. The Average Sides Index was heading towards the 20 mark, which is a sign that the current price action is gaining momentum.

Indoor Swimming Pools Link Building
5 SEO Strategies For Indoor Swimming Pools
If you're building an indoor swimming pool and want more traffic, you must do more than optimize your website. You must also optimize for mobile, Inbound links, and Trust building. Here are a few tips to get your indoor swimming pool website ranked in Google. All of these methods can help your SEO rankings. Listed below are five important SEO strategies for indoor swimming pools. Once you've mastered them, your business will be a winner in Google.
Indoor Swimming Pool Guest Posting
Off-page SEO
If you're in the pool industry, you already know that indoor swimming pool off-page SEO is a major concern. Perhaps you've tried doing SEO on your own but were not successful. Maybe you didn't realize how important this step is until you saw the competition explode online. Now that the COVID-19 is a thing of the past, competition is sure to increase. Fortunately, there are several ways to get your pool website listed higher on search engines.
One of the most important aspects of off-page SEO is link-building. This technique aims to get high-quality websites to link to your content. The more high-quality links your website gets, the higher it will rank. But the most important part of link-building is to get a good number of inbound links. This can help your website get the exposure it needs in search engine results. If you're not careful, you'll end up with a slew of irrelevant links.
You can optimize your content by incorporating keywords into your website's title tag. When customers search for contractors online, they tend to type the keyword in the search bar. Keywords allow search engines to understand what your website is about and drive more traffic to your site. Since more than 60% of online users browse on their smartphones, incorporating keywords into your website's content will drive more traffic to your site. The more keywords you have in your title, the higher your chances are of ranking high on Google's search results.
The next part of indoor swimming pool off-page SEO is getting your website mentioned on Google's local listings. Search engines use citations to rank websites. Make sure you have a presence on social media, online forums, and business directories. Even if you don't have a website, you can get listed on Google Maps and other directories. Make sure to post quality images on YouTube and follow the company's guidelines for submitting to online directories.
Besides optimizing your website for keywords related to swimming pools, you can also make use of social media to augment your search engine optimization efforts. Several SEO experts believe that social media is untapped potential. Using social media to share relevant content is an effective way to get more people interested in your services. By creating entertaining content, you will get many shares and traffic, which will boost your website's organic search engine rankings.
Mobile optimization
If you own an indoor swimming pool, you must consider the importance of mobile optimization. Mobile users expect fast and convenient information. Using Omnify's pool scheduling software can help you maximize your pool's accessibility from mobile devices. Ensure a smooth user experience for your visitors by adding enticing CTAs, relevant content, and mobile menus. As a pool building business, mobile optimization is one of the most important SEO strategies you can use to boost your online visibility.
Automated scheduling makes the entire operation much more efficient. Members can book a specific slot online, which prevents double booking and increases facility productivity. Ultimately, a cloud-based facilities management solution will help improve the customer experience. Another benefit of cloud-based pool booking software is the ability to regulate capacity and slots while ensuring a sanitizing buffer in between pool slots. This will help maintain a higher level of hygiene and cleanliness for your customers. This is beneficial for everyone, especially those with busy schedules.
Indoor Swimming Pool PBN Private Blog Network Backlinks
Using a smart phone to control an automated pool system makes a lot of sense. It will eliminate the need to fiddle around with a separate remote. With this technology, you can access the controls of your pool instantly, regardless of where you are. And you won't have to worry about a malfunction. And because it's a mobile device, you can even control your pool using Siri or Google Assistant. Automation can help you save money on labor and ensure consistent water quality in your indoor swimming pool.
Inbound links
If you're interested in building a website to promote your swimming pool building business, you need to get inbound links. This is a crucial factor in Google's ranking algorithm. You can acquire inbound links by building relationships with complementary service providers and asking them to link to your site. Use tools like the Moz Open Site Explorer to find inbound links. Once you've obtained a few inbound links, you can begin to optimize your website pages to rank well in search engine results.
The greatest SEO advantage that inbound links hold for a website is their inherent value. When one site links to another, it shows credibility and authority. However, to make sure that the linking site has a good authority, you need to take into account the website's relevancy and human value. By following these three simple steps, you'll be on your way to a more effective SEO strategy for your indoor swimming pool website.
Create quality content that will attract industry influencers and people who value what you have to say. If someone is impressed with your blog post, they might link back to you. You can also use external links, such as social media profiles and guest blogging. In addition, compressing your media files will improve the performance of your website on mobile devices. Aside from these steps, you should also optimize your indoor swimming pool website for mobile devices.

Singapore with small kids
Quick question, the National Gallery says it's free only for Singapore residents... did you have to pay as a tourist?
Thanks for all this info we're heading there next year with our 4 and 2 year old boys so it's been very helpful
Hi! Thanks for your comment, you'll love Singapore! The National Gallery for kids is free for everyone, but if you want to access the exhibits with all the paintings, then it's free only for Singaporeans.
