In episode 449 of our weekly Hump Day Hangouts, one participant asked
The exact question was:
Any thoughts on Google suing a Rank and Rent'er for creating and selling fake GBPs? Google is suing a member of a Rank and Rent Facebook group for creating hundreds of fake Google Business Profiles. The lawsuit claims that the defendant engaged in fraudulent verification of nonexistent profiles, posted fake reviews, and sold real business leads from unsuspecting customers. The defendant offered Google Business Profile verification services and made false claims about bypassing Google's verification procedures. They also sold fake reviews outsourced to providers in Bangladesh and Vietnam. Google is seeking triple the amount of actual damages, attorneys fees, and prejudgment interest from the defendants for breaching its terms of service.

In episode 291 of our weekly Hump Day Hangouts (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TeDXloCjFjo), one participant asked if the T1 RYS stack nitro link building combination is enough to power an affiliate site.
The exact question was:
Hi Guys, I am building a content site currently in a competitive niche (primary kwd 75,000/mo google), to monetize with affiliate sales. There is new curated content going on to the site each day. My plan was to get a T1 Network set up around the money site. Then have an RYS Stack above that pointing to the properties in the T1. Then throw the kitchen sink at the RYS Stack via the Nitro link building package. Would you say this is the optimum configuration for these three elements, or am I overthinking it? I guess what I am asking is, would the T1-RYS Stack-Nitro Linkbuilding combination be enough to get the site among the top sites in the niche, given enough content? The initial goal is 260 posts in the coming 12 months. Ben

In episode 258 of our weekly Hump Day Hangouts (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87KYDWp4rns), one viewer asked if an existing (non-Semantic Mastery) GSite and drive stack interfere with the ones being builty by MGYB.
The exact question was:
hi guys i was talking to a dentist about his seo. he told me his son was doing it but was getting nowhere. I spoke to the son and he told me he bought some gigs on fiver for google sites and drive files. i told the dentist you get what you pay for and that I may be able to help do it properly. Can I go to MGYB and buy a gsite+drive stack for this or is it too late? will the current gsites or ""drive stack"" his son setup interfere with one mgyb would build? I dont think the son will let me delete all the work he had done. thanks

In episode 183 of our weekly Hump Day Hangouts (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIJPLZvN_kM), one viewer asked the team's thoughts on Google's Duplex appointment setting tool and how it will affect local search in the future.
The exact question was:
Did you hear about duplexappointments from google?
Google Assistant will be making calls like a real assistant and will be making the calls.
How do you think this will change local search?
Have a look at the video, its scary.

0:00 Announcements: IFTTT 2.0 launching Monday at 9am EST. Special discount for first week before price goes up, and launch day bonus!
If you're not sure if you'll get notice, sign up here now: http://iftttseo.com/v2
8:00 I know that you like to use your branded IFTTT properties as a buffer between your money sites and your manually built backlinks (PBNs/SAPE..).
I was wondering if you build links ONLY to your branded IFTTT properties or if you build backlinks directly to your money site as well.
14:00 Provided you build the majority of your strong links to your branded IFTTT network, how important do you consider blog comments/press releases/forum posts/.. pointing directly at your money site?
17:00 I am building a YT playlist, monosilo, and I want to know (how bad, if bad) this use of local keywords will be. Lets just say I have done my research and these keywords will appear on page one, that is why I am using them like this.
That wouldn't be considered keyword stuffing (in the playlist) or anything like that, if, that is in fact the title for each separate video. Looking for your collective thoughts and expertise.
20:00 Can we use our personas to give reviews to our clients businesses? (citations, map pack, ect.)
21:00 My site is lead gen for a service business so I did NOT have a map showing in Google My Business page.
1) Some of the citations provide an option to show a map or not. Should I also not show maps in these?
25:00 2) A few citations will not display the street address unless a map is shown.
3) A few strong citations don't provide a URL link. Some offer a dofollow link for a $10 per month fee which seems priced too high. Is that worth it in your opinion?
4) A lot have option to add FB, Twitter, Tumblr and other property links. Should I add in any of the IFTTT properties I have built that can be added to the citations?
27:00 5) Two citations suggested by BrightLlocal are heraldtribune and nfwdailynews. Are both of these truly separate or somewhat duplicate? Should I do both?
6) Should I add mapquest as a citation?
28:00 in the wake of IFTTT now removing App.net and Diigo from their services should we go in to all of our recipes and shut those off or doesn't it matter?
29:00 1.) Do you guys have a course specifically for hiring outsourcers like curation mastery and mastermind goes into detail?
30:00 2.) Is the IFTTT properties surrounding my money site considered Tier 1?
3.) Can i use FCS networker to point a money keyword over to my Syndicated IFTTT properties like (twitter | yelp | Google Places | YouTube Video) without a penalty?
31:00 4.) If my TIER 2 is a money keyword and it is point to Tier 1 which is a Naked URL or Brand URL will my money page ranking for keywords still get the effect of Tier 2?
32:00 1) What type of links would you point at a Tier 1 Branded Network?
36:00 2) For individual pages, would you point Tier 2 links at an individual post or posts that point to that individual page to try and boost the page on the main site.
37:00 I have a IFTTT brand network for a website. I also have around 30 good aged tumblr accounts that have Trust Flow of 10 to 21 with clean backlinks and anchor texts. Some have links from edu, wiki, libraries and all have links from real non-tumblr sites.
Should I use them to backlink to the IFTTT network properties or instead link them to citations?
Would you spread them out and use one or two tumblrs each to link to 15 different IFTTT properties and citations?
42:00 Would 60k general gsa links be better then 75k auto approved blog comment gsa links?
I am thinking of getting 2 or 3 .xyZ domains and register 301ing them to a owly shortner to my DA boosting sub domain, is this still the standard practice?
44:00 You mentioned in a video you have used PressCable Press releases but didn't' think they were that good. I have some credits there I have never used. I am wondering how much confidence I should have in their press releases?
45:00 I want to create a site like Gen Videos. How do I drive traffic to it?
48:00 I can't find your video where you discussed geotagging images and recommending us to take the pictures with our own phones.
51:00 I have a question regarding tiered networks. Has there been changes to how many tiers deep we go with blog syndication? For YT videos we can go 2 tiers and beyond?
