In Hump Day Hangouts episode 384 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHi24scGjns), one participant asked if it will help a simple virtual silo build with 5 top silo pages to noindex or nofollow category archives.
The exact question was:
Hi, regarding a new simple virtual silo build with 5 top silo pages + supporting posts in 1 niche.. Will it help to noindex or nofollow category archives and the blog index page too? And what about not creating a blog index page? (to not leak any link juice, if having one does)

In Hump Day Hangouts episode 212
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9urTn2dtWhk), one participant asked if one should use multiple local sites to rank a national business loan site or stick to one site.
The exact question was:
2.) We lend nationally but also locally, should I set up a separate site and optimize it specifically for local ? Or should I just use 1 site for everything.
Thanks in advance!

In episode 243 of Semantic Mastery's weekly Hump Day Hangouts (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpBucXAwIsA), one participant asked how difficult it is to rank a local business site without GMB listing.
The exact question was:
If you wanted to rank a new site organically for a local business niche and a specific location but don't care anything about ranking a related GMB listing, and don't want to go to the trouble of even setting one up, how much more difficult is it, if at all, to rank the site without a related GMB listing? . . . . . Thanks again

The exact question was:
Hey guys my seo agency has started to slow down with clients taking way longer to close deals with. Thinking to diversify by doing some whitelabel services and potentially something on legiit.

In episode 201 of the weekly Hump Day Hangouts by Semantic Mastery (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WzHtJPeG1s), one viewer asked for recommendations on a good Magento developer.
The exact question was:
I have taken a job with a dropshipping firm (along with other stuff) and their Magento developer has gone silent. Do you have a couple you could recommend? Shopify won't cut it any more and we really need the site revamped and capable of integrating with Microsoft's D365. I'm hoping you will have networked with some of the better (without being excessively expensive) Magento developers/designers. I need to get a couple of quotes to get this project back up and running asap. Any help is appreciated. Also, I don't have a good sense of fair pricing for such developers. Any guidance on pay scale would be appreciated as well.

0:00 Intro and announcements
2015 Holiday sale through January 2, 2016: http://semanticmastery.com/holidaysale2015
4:00 New blog posts with topics:
Google Dance
Death of PBNs
7:00 Sorry if these ones have been answered but I've been going through your webinars like a maniac playing catch up so a lot of information to digest there from the semantic SEO banquet!
1. When you're using the sub domain method, do you use the same blog to link to each sub domain if there just different locations or does each sub domain get its own blog?
2. If you do just use the same blog do you put the blog on a sub domain?
3. is there a limit to how many sub domains you use per money site, would you only do a small geographic location or is country wide ok?
4. what advice do you have for turning the main site copy into unique for each sub domain, sounds like a lot of work to keep the copy good if you have even a few clients?
Thank you for what you guys do I and I imagine everyone else genuinely appreciates it...Long Live Semantic Mastery!
18:00 Please clarify how you recommend setting up the different accounts: Tier one/Tier 2 /branded. Here is what i think you recommend:
1) Tier 1 Branded. Your money site/client site/Youtube channel at the center and build out ~20 sites profiles using the same name "Boston Plumbing Experts" same logo, same bio/description...and link all the sites together.
2) Tier 2 non branded are persona accounts. For each persona you create a blog on WP/Bloggr/Tumblr at the center for a persona like "John Smith" and you create ~20 sites all "branded" with John Smith with name/image/bio/description and again you can link them.
This feels different to the Syndwire account set up gigs on Fiverr which talk about setting up 20 different personas in 20 accounts...but I think you regard those as orphans likely to be deleted?
24:00 How can you transfer a Google Plus Local or Branded to a newly created Google Plus Profile?
31:00 1. When linking from your main site to your subdomains, you want to "nofollow" the links, correct?
2. On the Semantic Mastery site, what is the reason for "nofollowing" the main nav "about" and "hangout" links?
32:00 3. I'm guessing that links to "other properties owned" or even "affiliate links" should be "nofollowed" as well?
PS. Bought the Video X product and have paid for it with profits several times over already. Good share and great timing (while the clicks are still cheap!).
34:00 Hey! Merry Christmas to all of you, and thanks so much for your help!
I've seen Fiverr gigs for submission of content to document and file sharing sites like Scibd, docstoc, Box and Mediafire
Q1 - Is this a useful tactic?
Q2 - How does this compare to RYS tactics? Is it a good compliment?
38:00 How do you we run youtube ads for products from our shopify stores or other ecom platforms? I am selling tshirts on gearbubble.com which is a print and ship site where my store is just a page of their main site.
41:00 Hey Guys! Merry Christmas!
Im a new RYS user, im just starting to watch the training videos and wanted to know:
1) which will be the best approach to apply RYS to affiliate marketing?
2) I create my own money sites regularly, should I use RYS to link to and rank my M$ ? Or I should try to rank the G properties instead?
3) Did you had success trying to rank G properties for affiliate promoting?
46:00 How come you do not do a Tier 2 ring with money blogs? Doesn't it power things like Blogger and tumbler?
48:00 Hello and Happy Holidays!
My client has a G+ profile that is linked to their website. I plan on syndicating their posts through IFTTT, but they want a separate G+ profile to be used for syndicating posts. So..my question; can you have multiple G+ accounts pointing to the same website?
52:00 Can i set up a Google My Business with out an address? or if I use my personal address will I get a bunch of business marketing flyers and crap in the mail, phone calls etc.
How many citations and how quickly can i build citations I see fiverr gigs offering like 50 in 3 days. Same thing for map citations how many and how quickly, plus then do you run them all through an indexer, drip fed or?
58:00 1) There are IFTTT recipies available for Pinterest, Facebook Pages, Live Journal, Flick and Reddit. Can these be added to a IFTTT Tier 1 Video syndication network for more social embeds, etc? I'm assuming we can also do RSS feeds to these properties from our three blogs in our Tier 2 networks?
2) After watching the Advanced RSS Academy Training I'm still a bit confused on how to use related content feeds to populate my Tier 1 Tumblr, Blogger and WPO blogs.

In episode 146 of our weekly Hump Day Hangouts (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oR3cms9aBnc), one viewer asked what to do when Twitter stops syndicating Google Plus posts.
The exact question was:
I mentioned last week that I have a client's G+ page posting from a Rankfeedr feed and Twitter. However, Twitter is so busy that my Buffer is always full, and it can't take in my syndicated posts, or my Rankfeedr posts. Is this bad, or is the important thing the G+ page activity?

In episode 163 of our weekly Hump Day Hangouts (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDL__La425I), one participant asked if a GMB page is needed for an affiliate website with no U.S. operations.
The exact question was:
Question regarding about GMB for RYS Stack. I know Marco commented that GMB Is not necessary when ordering a RYS Stack but still highly recommended to get a certified GMB to solidify the business existent.
1) I am working on affiliate website only. Also, I do not operate in the US. Do I really need a GMB in my case? And is my RYS Stack still powerful without a GMB?

0:00 Intro
8:00 I'm curious if embedded iframe content would help to rank a page. If I found a niche related video with very strong signals would anything pass to my webpage? Would embedding google docs or linking from a google doc be of any benefit for passing trust flow?
11:00 1. Would you or have you ever ranked a video that the potential client was not aware of and then contacted them to see if they would like to keep the ranking?
2. Have you ever ranked a website that you were able to monetize with only non juiced networks and good on page SEO? The same question for video too?
17:00 3. What do you do if you ever get a client whose site isn't built with WordPress, do you hire a web designer or did you learn to use php and html and if the site is a mess do you still take them on as a client?
19:00 When 301ing an expired domain to our money site exactly how close do the expired domains links, topically need to be.
Changing the subject but could you elaborate on how to use a noindex pbn properly? I have a .ws expired domain with PA 26 DA 18 TF/CF 16-33 with like 160k backlinks and am trying to figure out how to best use it to help push my Truck finance site (on page 2) or its IFTTT properties.
23:00 1) Still a bit confused on the "favorite" recipe and how to set one up so I can favorite an older video to syndicate through an entire new IFTTT network.
28:00 2) Can the same network and associated YouTube channel for "favoriting or liking older videos" also be used for new video uploads?
30:00 3) When building tier 2 and tier 3 links to our main blog URLs, playlist URLs, PRs, etc,.etc,. in a video syndication network etc,. is there a need to (or should I) drip feed these links over 30 days or so like we would do for a blog syndication network or money website to be safe?
4) Facebook Token Issue. I'm trying to get related Facebook RSS feeds for Advanced RSS stuff. I re-logged in as it said to but nothing happened and the message is still there.
5) Can we also grab Twitter and G+ related content feeds from sites and also use them in our spliced feeds?
35:00 6) Can you quickly go over how we can make sure we get an attribution link back to the source when doing the spliced feeds to juice up and blend into our IFTTT network feeds??
36:00 7) Any ETA on IFTTT 2.0 and will existing members be getting a break on it when launched?
38:00 On January 7th I had a series of 16 videos flagged on my primary ifttt YouTube trigger account. This resulted in YouTube giving me three strikes as the day went forward and finally suspending my account.
My feeling is that I got attacked by a competitor who objected to the fact that I was dominating the first two pages of YouTube with my videos.
What I did was not too much different than Hernan’s California hangouts example he sent out yesterday with his lawyer playlist.
What is your advice on how to protect our channels and our work?
41:00 How best to backup our videos and recover quickly??
44:00 How about three YouTube channels all connected to the network and spreading my uploads amongst them I would be safeguarding the possibility for another unfair attack and Google's unfair automatic application of penalties?
45:00 I have a 7 month old site that has only 4 pages ranking but I may be forced to give those pages a parent page which would change the URL path of all the ranking pages. I did a test and it looks like wordpress 301d the old URL path to the new URL path after giving the ranking pages a parent page, but now I am confused as to what will happen to the my rankings.
47:00 Should I resubmit my sitemap to google so they can see the new URL paths, if not how long till google finds the new paths, discards old paths, and re ranks?
48:00 I am also curious if I should continue to build links to the ranking pages using their new URL paths or do I have to wait for the site to settle before building new links?
49:00 I was thinking about doing an affiliate website with embedded tweets and embedded video playlists. Allowing comments seems like it would be good too but how do you deal with trademark issues?
51:00 Does adding your Web 2.0 RSS feeds such as Tumbler to a another RSS feed burner or aggregator index your links any faster?
51:30 When logging into various Google accounts do you log in from proxies? Or does Google even care if you're logging into 200 accounts from one ip?
53:00 Hey Guys is Sean Donahoe's plugin Backlink Commando still a great reindexing option?
http://semanticmastery.com/how-to-automate-backlink-indexing/
56:00 How carried away do you get when you setup your personas to make them look real?
57:00 What do you guys use to keep track of the traffic that comes thru a 301 redirect, to a client?
