How it's used

Dictionary-form verb + ために states purpose — a deliberate action aimed at a goal. Studying every day is the means directed at getting the certification. ようで expresses appearance ("seems like"), せいで blames a cause for an unfavorable outcome ("because of ~, unfortunately"), and ところで marks a point in time or a change of topic — none express goal-directed purpose.
