0:00 Intro and announcements
5:00 I'm sure I've heard you mention that you sell content marketing services, basically offering curated blog/syndication, if this is right, could you give a few tips for this, I would like to build up some money by offering this service to SEO agencies so I have cash coming in then I can re-invest back into a real lead gen business with the mastermind and other tools etc.
13:30 Does anybody know what's up with Kuratur, their site has been down for over month now? 2) My videos do not seem to be showing up in the "videos" link section of all Paper.li sites also, just wondering if there is a way to correct this or how I can check something?
17:00 a.)Do you know of any social network auto-account creators? with a lifetime license?
Some OK monthly options I found: fanpagerobot(29/mo) or digsby?
http://facedominator.com/
b.)Also, do you also have experience with or would you advise using Imacros or sukuli or selinium (if so, what scenarios)?
c.) What lifetime/free software would you suggest for all-in-1 social monitoring/reporting?
You said you suggest using gsa & fcs on teir 1 YT, correct? And only teir 2- 4 for web?
You said remixed vids must change a lot, if on the same channel. Hangout millionaire changes the vids a little and you called it spam in 1 episode..
How does this help for using additonal supporting vids on the same channel(mentioned in episode 61), and would you use more than 1 hangout millionaire vid in your channel when ranking clients?
30:00 In the IFTTT videos- several times, when it relates to bookmarking one site, You mention to "put blogger link in here as it is the main blog."
When we are making a BRANDED network, should we use our main self-hosted Wordpress site in the places that normally call for the blogger? For example with Diigo- adding a bookmark for blogger because "it is the main blog site" - should we instead add the main self hosted website so bookmarks go to it?
2) In Diigo, Under the "Me Elsewhere" after putting twitter, blogger, etc in - at the bottom it has one line for "other link." You put in the Google+ profile/About url. and said this "other link"should be used for the url where all the 15 links will end up. For a Branded network, Should this be the profile or page? Will all those 15 links end up on the G+ business page?
Or in that "other link" line- should I put my branded website url instead of the G+ profile or G+ page?
37:00 1) For a BRANDED network - In Instapaper, Pinboard and other properties- what url do we enter when trying to trigger the RSS feed - when we are to trying to set up an RSS feed? blogger post or post on our website?
2) Pinboard looks great but I have about 10 questions on what to check yes or no and a few set up issues - how should I ask those? a Facebook post?
38:00 Which service/software do you recommend as the best keyword analysis tool?
This would be used to research which keywords I should target for articles on my website for my chosen niche.
45:30 If I have a TON of DFY built by Semantic Mastery networks and want you lovely folks to maintain them on the serpspace site (I've already subscribed to this service), is there a way i can simply upload the Gdocs (or export as XLS and upload) instead of having to fill in each platform one at a time? How would I go about doing this?
49:30 I could use a tool that quickly (and cheaply) identified keyword/city combos that resulted in a 3-pack. For example, for an exterior remodeling contractor that probably has many dozens of possible keywords in a metro area with a major city and 50-70 sizable suburbs.
51:00 I've been using ifttt properties and then building fcs properties as a buffer for gsa and it is working great but i'm looking into expanding my reach. You mentioned a few months back about doing gsa campaigns to amazon s3 redirects. Any update on how effective that has been? what tier is ideal for that strategy.
52:15 I have a Client that had their "TECH GURUS" make a new website for them without taking the old one down. They did a temp. 302 redirect from http://DomainName.net to http://SameDomainName.com/NEW.
I need to know how I can go about getting their website back to the root without loosing all 98 pages.

The exact question was:
I have a local business targeting multiple cities and towns. Would combining local rss feeds with my own (councils and local news) and embedding a feedburner widget across multiple web2s help push rankings locally?

0:00 Intro and announcements - RYS contest winners!
4:00 Hi, I have a question about subdomains. Is it still OK to spam a subdomain to boost DA or is google now treating all subdomains and root domain as 1? my site is on a www version and i am thinking of spamming a random 123. subdomain and do not want to hurt my www.
6:00 Also if i build a wikipedia link to a blog. subdomain it will boost my www. subdomain as well right cuz DA is site wide. So there is no need to make sure the wikipedia link points to a specific inner page or the blog post that the wiki link is pointing to then links to an inner page cuz the wiki link is nofollow (no PA) and the DA passed will be site wide. is this correct?
9:00 Can I use GSA to all my money sites social profiles + posts? Since these are all high DA and nofollow links none of the crappy Trust Flow will pass to my money site nor will the PA but should get alot of DA passed as nofollow passes DA. Is this all correct?
16:00 If I create a brand new page on a WordPress site and I don't add it to the menu would Google ever be able to see it or index it without any links to it anywhere?
20:00 Hey guys quick question about IFTTT recipes. Been having some troubles connecting app.net is anyone else encountering problems with this? Has anything changed?
22:00 1. Is duplicate content penalized in local SEO? I've heard yes and no so hoping you could shed some light on that issue.
2. I have a client (first one!) that wants me to SEO his site. Should I 301 my own site to his site and build all of the backlinks to my site? Does this pass along all of the juice from my site to his? I believe this is what you advise in case for whatever reason he decides to fire me after his site is ranking I can just pull the plug on the 301, correct?
25:00 3. Would it be ok to put multiple cities that you want to rank for in the same county in the meta description? If yes, would it be ok to sprinkle them into the content as well or would that be over optimizing?
4. Is there any advantage/disadvantage of putting the business name as an anchor text linking back to the homepage on a sitewide footer? If so, should I use a nofollow? Or should I not even bother linking from the footer?
27:00 What is best practice for anchor text when back linking from Tier 3 and Tier 2 properties? Should you use broad, exact or branded? Geo modified or no? What is best practice for backlinking from Tier 1?
30:00 What anchors should you use when blasting your web 2.0 properties?
30:00 Branded IFTTT Network - Attribution Links in money site blog post should be to article related main site pages? Or should those be just "Related Info" links? These links will be all the same anchor text - right? So does that have an adverse effect on link profiles?
33:00 Just bought one of your two tier networks and have a few questions. Do I need to add attribution to the IFTTT recipes for the tier 2 posts, e.g. tier 1 blogger feed going to tier 2 sites?
If so should I add attribution for the non-tier 1 feeds as well, i.e. the feeds from other authority sites used to minimize the tier 1 footprint?
Do those authority feeds need to be full posts or do feeds with snippets work?
Since your plugin works on WP sites do you have any suggestions for handling attribution on non-WP sites?
39:00 Do you feel FBN (FightBack Network) links are safe as T2s?
39:30 what do you guys think of vidpenguin to help with youtube rankings??
40:00 How "quality" is the content you use on T2s (FBN/FCS)?
41:00 Do you think Google will replace Links with Light Sabers?
41:30 Branded IFTTT Network Question 2 - is all that is necessary for content in IFTTT Network properties, the RSS Feed from the money site blog or should they also be getting Curated or Unique posts in addition to the RSS Feed from the money site blog posts?
45:00 Have this site with 150 keywords page one results. Obviously don't want to screw it up. Original had flash 3D images and other coding problems. Replacing with all page names/URL's exactly as original. I know we will take a hit in the SERPs but do you have suggestions to lessen the blow and would I an IFTTT Network help lessen the blow in the SERPs?
47:00 Wondering about stuff like scraped/spun stuff from something like ContentFoundry. It's all related to "roofing", and each sentence reads OK, but all together... not so coherent.

In episode 410 of our weekly Hump Day Hangouts, one viewer asked if competitors can benefit from a directory website that will generate different domain information.
The exact question was:
hey guys I am looking to build a custom website which will have a whois lookup tool. This will dynamically create subdomains with information about that domain. This will be generating lots of detailed pages about different domains and may have some competitor domains inadvertently picked up. There won't be any external links to the sites just the name of the site and meta description/title. With this approach is there any potential that my competitors could benefit? If so how can I stop it while still been able to produce these pages
