In episode 355 of Semantic Mastery's weekly Hump Day Hangouts (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wX9xyAa6FBo), one participant asked about the best practices for site URL structure and keyword placement of top silo pages. The exact question was: Q - For the top silo pages in regards to site url structure and keyword placement in the url, can you comment on best practices for that using WordPress? For example, should it be mydomain.com/blog/category/top-silo-keyword/ and that gets used in the nav menu or drop down menu under ""Blog""? And all blog posts relating to that top silo keyword get that one category assigned for best seo??

In episode 290 of the weekly Hump Day Hangouts by Semantic Mastery (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tz_odoom_7Q), one viewer mentioned a Google policy violation to a two-year-old RYS drive stack. The exact question was: Hi Marco! got an email from bigG, Google Policy Violation Warning, saying that a Gdrive with a 2 year old RYS is violating policies about malware, destructive code. Warned that it persists they may restrict access to it. Have you come across that before? I have not touched the RYS in weeks, seems odd.

In episode 178 of Semantic Mastery's weekly Hump Day Hangouts (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okA-ejWCt40), one participant asked whether the number of reviews matter when trying to rank a difficult key phrase to page one in local search. The exact question was: Hey guys, I have a client with a seemingly difficult key phrase to get to page one. It is (I replaced the two keywords with ""Keyword"") Keyword Keyword Minneapolis MN when I search for this using a Private Window we end up as #10 of page TWO. However if I put quotes around it, ""Keyword Keyword Minneapolis MN"" we are on page one plus it's in the Maps Pak. We rank #3, #4, and a YouTube video ranks #9. I've done the first column of a silo on the website, Siloed the videos together, even have 3 levels of IFTTT put together, but still cannot seem to move the website up to page one for this key phrase. And another detail, the client has 7, 5 star reviews compared to his competition's 87, 5 star reviews. (Would that make a difference?) ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldvkrYvwDw8
