For more SEO training, visit: http://semanticmastery.com 0:00 Announcements 6:00 I would like to hear your definition of a back-link and how not only use it, but make one properly (in our IFTTT networks)? I don’t look at what you guys have developed as just SEO processes, but as the New Semantic Architecture for business online now. The IFTTT network is the foundation in the blue prints and acts as the radio station for you to broadcast your message to give it an artificial boost so Google recognizes it as worthy and favorable to place you on the first page. Just like IFTTT is one piece in the blueprint, so is a lot of the rest of SEO like back-links. Correct me if I’m wrong. 14:00 Secondly, What is the impact going to be by what Google’s statement was on the 18th, about cracking down on spam sites? 16:00 Will using the Google shortener on other Google properties like YouTube or Google Sites help with any ranking factors? When doing silo's for YouTube videos is it okay to use the same description if I'm targeting the same keywords in different cities in the same county? 25:00 Is it possible to create silo's for playlists for the same root keyword with different keyword triggers? This is some of the results I get search "Mecklenburg County 24 Hour Plumbers" 27:00 Also do you think its smart to keep your video unlisted until I completely shared it with the IFTTT Network by using "Watch later" trigger? 28:00 How to you determine why a video is ranked in a certain position on Google? I think the main factor is backlinks but I do a google search to find the backlinks of a video in position 1 and they have no backlinks. The video in position 2 has many more backlinks. Any tools? I know a lot more goes into ranking than just backlinks but it seems like video in position 2 has better signals such as views, comments, likes. 32:00 I am fairly fresh arrived to the IFTTT type of doing things after some less than successful attempts at seo with automation tools. I am seeing better results from using ifttt than anything I ever used before. I have some blogs and ecommerce stores hosted on WordPress, that I would like to promote to see if I can resurrect them from the grave whence they where born into ;o) How would you use ifttt to promote existing posts or videos? Also some additional questions, that I would be grateful if you could answer: 1) I have a couple of domains that I would like to expand with subdomains. E.g. I have a general fitness site but would like to add a subdomain with thai chi. How would you go about creating a network for this? Should I keep them separate and just go with keyword branding of the network accounts? Or would that put the main domain at risk? 37:00 2) Just ignore if this offends you: but how about adult stuff and using ifttt. Google Reinsteckers method if you are curious. Would adult be a theme you could handle at a hump day. Again please forgive me if I have offended!? But you DO call them hump days;) 39:00 3) Are ifttt networks safe for adsense sites? Not asking you to put your head on the block, but in general, what is your view? 4) foreign language and the suggested ifttt accounts. I know (scratch that; I think) that foreign keywords are sometimes easier than us-keywords. I am in Denmark and have my first "customer": a friend with a physiotherapy business. 41:00 Long question about authentication - had to skip over most of it and address it later 45:00 I'm syndicating videos around a brand and linking them to relevant product pages on an e-commerce site. I've been adding additional videos and content feeds to my T2 personas via T1's Blogger, Tumblr, & WordPress so that the T2 rings have some variation and are not all posting identical content. I'm I wasting my time doing that? 46:00 What's the best way to get Google to index a new or dormant site if you don't have much money to start with? 47:00 A lot of what we're learning is particular to WordPress sites. But when dealing with a client who has either an old html site or a site provided by a big template selling company with no RSS feature would an IFTTT ring still be an option for them? 49:00 Guys - can you tell me when I can use the page login and when I have to use the persona's login details for the IFTTT network please? Cheers. 52:00 I am having some trouble with the new YouTube channel RSS url working in Feedblitz. They are saying that the RSS feed created using https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=CHANNELID is not valid? http://support.semanticmastery.com/knowledgebase/updated-youtube-rss-urls/ 56:00 Hi guys, I've been having problems with gmail phone verifications using CallFire and Twilio numbers. In a prior session, Bradley mentioned a different technique that was shared by a student. I can't find it in any of the courses - can you let me know where that video is? ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJ6XexkocJA
