Cool. Still. Fuck them.
Fuck literally every youtuber who gets early access to a game like FNaF Ruin and then makes their thumbnails and video titles into massive spoilers 💕💕💕

Sorry to ask this, but what are your thoughts on Dunky's "I'm Done Making Good Videos" with regards to content you aspire to author vs what the average joe actually searches for
I don’t know if I’m the best person to be asking this, really.
Let’s get fully inside baseball here. Let’s pull the curtain all the way back. Actually, let’s burn down the curtain. I’m going to overshare like hell right now. Get ready for the most stream-of-consciousness rambling ever, because a lot of this has been boiling in my head and dying to get out.
For the entirety of my Youtube channel, I’ve pretty much only ever done what I want to do. Very rarely do I chase trends, or do what’s hot, or even do what people want me to do. I do whatever I feel like doing.
I have paid the price for that. My Youtube channel is 15 years old as of this year, and only now am I slowly inching towards 25,000 subscribers. I am incredibly inconsistent. What’s my channel post? Well, a couple times a year, maybe I put together an edited essay/review for a game. But I also sometimes post random, unedited, uncommentated gameplay footage. Maybe it’s a fan game, maybe it’s a gameplay demo, maybe it’s Fortnite. Sometimes, I also post remastered video game music. Every Halloween, I dump a bunch of one-off horror Let’s Plays on to my channel. And then, there’s the podcast.
I know exactly what my problems are. I don’t specialize enough, and I don’t put content out fast enough. Because most Youtube channels are, like, “shows”, right. The Did You Know Gaming show. The Markiplier show. The Angry Video Game Nerd show. And you can point at those and say exactly what they are in two sentences or less.
Did You Know Gaming specializes in informative videos uncovering obscure facts you might not know about popular video games.
Markiplier is a Youtuber that does Let’s Play videos for video games, primarily horror games, but he also focuses on general comedy skits and things of that nature.
The Angry Video Game Nerd is about one guy’s over the top reactions to bad video games.
What does BlazeHedgehog do? Well, he does a lot of Sonic fan content, but sometimes he does horror let’s plays, and sometimes he does multiplayer compilation videos sort of like Criken, but he also does music, and sometimes he makes video games and puts out videos of that, and in general he’s really low energy and sometimes there will be three or four weeks between uploads. Also he sounds like Booger from Revenge of the Nerds Snot from Family Guy (apparently).
If you come to my channel for something specific, you have to put up with everything else I upload. I could start separate channels for that content, but the barrier to entry on Youtube is so massive now that I would effectively sending those channels to their death. Videos that get 200-500 views on my main channel would get 10 views or less if they were on their own self-contained alt-channel.
So I languish. I struggle. I suffer. Youtube shows me red down arrows to tell me just how much worse I’m doing now than my last flash-in-the-pan success.
I’ve tried to chase success. It just makes me sad. I have a sense of humor, but I don’t think I can make “funny videos” like some people can. My Sonic 06 glitch video did gangbusters ten years ago, but I don’t often like kicking games when they’re down. It was a struggle to make that Sonic Boom glitch montage and that’s the reason I never followed through with Part 2 like I said I would.
My only wish is that people appreciate honesty. My Youtube channel might be a scattered mess, but that’s who I am. And more than anything, I think that’s what Dunkey’s video was about. His whole joke was about switching from thoughtful or funny videos to becoming a content farm for whatever is currently popular.
I’ve brought it up a few times here and there over the last few months, but I’ve had several brushes with the Fortnite side of Youtube recently. And there are so many dudes over there who are what I would generously call “grifters.” I follow Hypex on Twitter and routinely check Firemonkey and ShiinaBR because they datamine future Fortnite updates and often have the scoop days, weeks or sometimes months in advance.
Near the end of season 3, all three of them mentioned they had datamined “the next season” but wouldn’t say what it was because they didn’t want to spoil what was coming (the marvel season). They mentioned there were “others out there” that were spoiling things, but wouldn’t say who. I wanted to spoil myself, so I turned to Youtube.
And Youtube was a nightmare. Over and over and over, I would encounter tons of people downright thriving on the same grift. It’s an open secret that Youtube prioritizes longer videos, so if your video is under ten minutes (or I think now 8 minutes), the algorithm isn’t going to be as nice to you and won’t promote your video as well, and you aren’t going to get as much advertising money because fewer people are going to sit through a video advertisement that’s a quarter of your video’s entire length. Longer videos are more profitable for Youtube, and by extension, for the user uploading them.
So it was video after video of these guys making big bold claims about how they had all the answers on what the next season of Fortnite was, and you’re thinking, “oh wow, it’s a 17 minute video, they’re going to spoil everything!”
You load the video up and it’s some guy in his streamer man cave, he’s got his webcam on, and he loads in to a match of Fortnite with his squad. Keep in mind, this video was pitched as a news report of sorts, a big spoiling of future content... and it’s just a guy playing Fortnite with a crew. In the few seconds between matches as he queues for the next one, he stops to deliver a single shred of information, most of which start with “Hypex said...”
The one thing you came to this video for and it’s scattered like breadcrumbs across a 17 minute video of a guy just playing normal matches Fortnite to fill time. It’s not information they acquired for themselves, they all just regurgitate what Hypex said, or what other channels reported Hypex saying. 17 minutes of padding for scraps of second-hand leaks. And I found dozens of these channels, all repeating the same format, all repeating the same specks of leaked information, and all of them had 150,000 to 200,000 views on each of their videos in less than 24 hours. That’s hundreds of dollars per video on a format to scam the system.
But that’s a content farm. Those dudes are vultures. I have a hard time believing their hearts are really in it. I know it’s not a term that’s really in vogue anymore, but I see that as “selling out.” They know what they are doing and it’s to make money, not to make a community better. I mean, one of those videos was a guy who was reading Marvel comic hero profiles off of Wikipedia because it sounded like he literally did not know who guys like Iron Man, Thor and Wolverine even were. How are you in touch enough with pop culture that you’re cranking out factory-fresh Fortnite content for Youtube but you don’t know who Thor is? Answer: because you don’t really care and you’re in it for the money. Gotta hit that 15 minute threshold and put in six mid-roll ad breaks.
I could be that guy. That’s kind of what I was hoping “This Kinda Sucks” would turn in to, which would be sort of a rant video series like The Jimquisition or something. But I did not have the interest or energy to keep that up. So you get a playlist with two videos on it.
I’m sure Dunkey was just funnin’ around. Dude has 6 million subscribers. But for me, like... what he said in the video is mostly true. Following your heart and making thoughtful content you are personally interested in won’t pay the bills. I mean, as I predicted, that Jurassic Park video launched to the sound of crickets chirping. My most hardcore fans and a few curious onlookers checked it out but that was it. I’ve been working on that video since August, and it’s something my viewer base did not care about. But I cared about it, and that’s important for the long-run, I think.
The other problem, sort of a disconnect, is that I’m lucky to be in the position I’m in. I think guys like Dunkey probably make all of their money from places like Youtube and Twitch and Patreon and that’s their career. That work pays all of their bills.
My work does not pay my bills. Or it does, but it’s not enough to pay all of my bills. I am lucky enough right now that I am in a living situation where I can make fractions of money in intermittent spurts. That won’t always be the case. But for now, I get to be honest, and I get to follow my heart in whatever random, chaotic direction it feels like going that particular day. Dunkey faces a different sort of pressure than I do.
All of this is to say I have no idea what I’m doing, I guess. I make the content I want to see.
That being said, I increasingly think about something I heard Woolie say early on when he went solo for his WoolieVS channel, and that was the idea of “One for you, one for me, one for us.”
Because I’ve had more than one friend burn out doing, like, Twitch streams and stuff. You hear about Youtubers who get sick of being shackled to new releases or whatever’s popular. At some point these people wake up and realize they’ve had this struggle, maybe made some money in the process, but they’re miserable because they don’t get to do what they want to do. They’re always being pushed forward by the fans that are behind them.
The “One for you, one for me, one for us” mantra does at least keep you a little more sane. Balance in all things, right? So that Jurassic Park video, it can flop. It’d be nice if it didn’t flop, given what time of the year it is, but it’s a video for me. I have other video ideas in the chamber that I know will be for my audience, or “for us.”
I just have to stay true to myself, and to my messy brain.

Succeed Through Online Marketing
How Electronic Advertising and marketing Will Change: 17 Forecasts for 2020
Tumblr media
Electronic advertising is not any unknown person to modifications.
Succeed Through Online Marketing - We have to stay on our toes if we want to stay relevant with the never ending changes to algorithms and regulations and part of that is positioning ourselves for success.
Precisely what is digital marketing planning to look like in 2020?
We experienced possessed 17 computerized entrepreneurs weigh into tell us what they see about the horizon, therefore we can all prepare accordingly and also a great season ofclicks and engagement, and sales.
Allow me to share 17 forecasts for electronic advertising and marketing in 2020.
Benton Crane, CEO of Harmon Brothers
Ad platforms (looking at you Facebook or twitter) continues to highlight shorter content material (needless to say, they want to offer more thoughts). Brief-type, nonetheless, limits what you can do to construct your company persona, voice, and world.
We foresee the profitable strategy may be to perform advertising chess, not checkers. In chess your parts have various strengths and weaknesses, whilst all checkers parts are identical. If you build up your web marketing strategy use a mixture of simple, medium sized, and lengthy-develop information. Don’t stop building your brand character, voice, and universe with longer-form content, although use the short-form content to appease Facebook’s algorithms.
Logan Fletcher, Content material Marketing Administrator
If you aren’t posting videos on social media, 2020 NEEDS to be the year you start, otherwise, you’ll get left behind, Succeed Through Online Marketing -.
Beyond that, we foresee a higher appearance of companies on social websites, since they try to create a technique that can help them purchase an advantage on opponents. Online video on sociable systems will probably continue being with the fore-front of effective methods.
Not only are B2B companies going to focus on creating video for LinkedIn, but they will also start to take notice of IGTV. With changes to Instagram’s algorithm formula, video clip placed on IGTV will go to the top of your followers’ rss feeds, and also be discovered much more prevalently on users’ investigate web pages. This will result in more movie prospects, a more substantial audience, and more advantages.
What different will we see in 2020? We believe that online marketers will begin focusing more on consumer demands, instead of “marketing requires.” Entrepreneurs will start responding to customers’ questions directly that will create campaigns that solution these inquiries. The only real individuals who actually make a difference are definitely the people who we want using our service or product. Refocusing what exactly is sent to customers will be a pattern in 2020 that many firms will not be capable of disregard.
Michelle Barnum Smith, AMZ Messenger Bot Group
The Amazon marketplace is consistently in flux. There are far more individual label retailers now than before as well as the marketplace may become much more competing. To stay in the video game, sellers really need to be tough and flexible.
Probably the most crucial methods to adjust is to possess a brand name-attitude. A product is not pretty much turning up having a individual merchandise-it’s about creating a local community of fervent buyers. The best and easiest method to start off is by using driving a vehicle your very own outside website traffic employing Talk Advertising and marketing tactics by way of ManyChat.
ManyChat tends to make chat advertising and marketing an omni-channel expertise. Now dealers can operate multichannel promotions through a single tool and reach their viewers in the most efficient techniques possible. Chitchat advertising will certainly make market developing, item establishing, and item advertising seamless for Amazon . com Dealers.
Tara Robertson, Director of Customer Marketing and advertising at Sprout Sociable
2020 is all about refinement. Brands not just need to focus on who they really are but moreover, the way they are different from competitors that will create remarkable experiences for customers. In ahead of time, online marketers will emphasis much more about becoming buyer obsessed by making certain each and every touchpoint is steady and purposeful. Supplying outstanding consumer experiences has stopped being a “nice to have,” but an hope-specifically as businesses aim to get noticed inside their saturated markets.
For that conclusion, there will be an increased desire for content and experience that favors high quality more than quantity. We are living in the age of authentic marketing along with the a lot more related and relatable your marketing and advertising is, the better dedicated your market can become. It is not simply regarding the new system, sophisticated AI, or even a powerful technology stack. The truth is, I actually think it will likely be the opposite.
We have to cut back time contemplating our automation plus more time considering the way you can connect with our buyers and each and every other. We expect far more customization than ever before as buyers and it is essential that marketing and sales crews fully grasp the and this need for connection.
Jenna Snavely, Creation Content Manager at DigitalMarketer
I talk to a lot of experts in the industry, as host of The DigitalMarketer Podcast. From all of the my podcast job interviews across the minimum year, the marketplace developments we have been viewing carefully at DM, and my own acquiring habits-I believe the easiest way to get support in 2020 (or maintain your steer) will be serialized consumable online video content.
It is a huge opportunity to outline your company sound and make a crowd, and the majority of importantly…it’s a way to more than-produce.
Manufacturers which do the difficult job, receive the payout.
Nathalie Lussier, Founding father of AccessAlly
Succeed Through Online Marketing - In 2020, I forecast that more men and women will carry on and “cut the cord” from cord and proceed to streaming options for their entertainment. It’s approximated that 45 mil men and women will depart their cable tv or satellite suppliers in 2020.
Exactly what does that pertain to digital marketing and advertising?
This means that as interest changes far from classic Television set advertising, more marketers will have to get innovative and find approaches to get to individuals on-line alternatively.
That may be the two a true blessing and a curse: It’s going to raise the cost of advertising on the hottest platforms like Facebook, YouTube, and Google, although it’s going to create more work for digital agencies.
Brand names may not be moving all their dollars to “pay for every click” advertising, they will often also up their content material advertising and marketing budgets in order to happen in social offers and chats, also! Content marketing organizations, be aware!
Splintering Community Platforms
For businesses that want to boost their communities on the internet (and who does not? ) there is an intensifying have to take acquisition of community place.
For many years the right spot to host a group has become via Facebook organizations. There is a great deal of growth and engagement on Facebook or twitter, because of an previously a built in habit (or possibly is it an dependency? !).
However, the tech giant has experienced some political and ethical backlash and more digital business owners are looking for alternatives.
I foresee that programs that permit you to generate neighborhood “on your very own turf” like Palapa, Mighty Sites, BuddyBoss, and Wp are going to see plenty of development.
However, as much as I see people building these networks outside of the Facebook ecosystem, those that have tried and failed say the the vortex is strong… and engagement isn’t as high.
So, there will likely be a splintering of communities across different platforms, and I suspect also a consolidation for those groups that don’t get enough traction off Facebook when they return.
Intensifying Polarization & Woke Advertising
So will the political polarization in 2020, as the planet’s climate continues to heat up.
Brand names can have an option to help make: remain neutral or have got a perspective.
The companies that stay higher than the fray will steer clear of the drama and the unpredictability that comes with going into the chat on everyone’s thoughts.
But those businesses that can genuinely share their point of view, will get long-term customer loyalty for being happy to place their ideals above short-run income. According to Cone Communications, 92% of consumers say they have a more positive image of a company when the company supports a social or environmental issue.
Yes, you will see drop out from businesses that embark on “woke marketing” and combine activism or national politics inside their message.
More businesses will be willing to put their reputations on the line to connect with Gen Z and Millennials who are more discerning about where they spend their hard earned dollars… and how it impacts the world at large. That is my prediction.
Rachel Pedersen, Chief executive officer in the Viral Touch And Social Media Marketing United
2020 is the 12 months the facade of flawlessly polished marketing burns and crashes. A lot of people happen to be burned up by influencers faking it with ideal photoshoots, and people are desperate for validity.
They will be looking for context outside of keynotes, as consumers get hungry for REAL answers. They are looking for signs and symptoms of congruency - proof that the favored individuals on systems are jogging the stroll.
In 2020 the internet marketer who supplies all-access, behind the curtain, contextual marketing is the winner. It is the entire year of humanized marketing.
Right here is how you can beat the band wagon internet marketers in 2020:
1.Tik. Tok: The clock is ticking. TikTok is actually a rare foundation that reveals a lot more measurements and permits audiences to adore your creative, impromptu and unpolished or UCG content.
2.Go live. Anywhere. Display the mayhem of getting prepared for an occasion with 3 kids when your baby provides the influenza along with your previous thoroughly clean outfit was *coughing* messed up.
3.Report your podcast in person situations. Enable your market to FEEL your life and surroundings with the mp3.
4.Decline Photoshop. So you have a scar on your eyebrow? The vacation consuming magically extra another 15 pounds in your photographs? Permit it to be. Let them see.
5.Online video conveys all. Shoppers are looking for contextual signs in your marketing with video. They desire over a best established and script. They need to see your identiity. Let them have more to work alongside.
6.Tell the reality. So, 2019 was a hard year? Tell them. And do not just clean it off with all the common ‘Oh gentleman, it was a challenging calendar year! ’ Tell them what went wrong. Inform them the way your cardiovascular system shattered. Let them know regarding the nighttime once you almost cease. Let them know concerning the mistakes that almost ruined you. Just inform them the truth.
Jody Milward, Founding father of Interpersonal Charlie
A game changer for Mentors and Electronic program designers starting 2020 is to include a Personal Liquidating Offer (SLO) at the front end conclusion in their Facebook or twitter Advertising. Because with the rising costs of Facebook ads, these offers weren’t profitable, over the years coaches have been told to drop the low ticket offers and focus entirely on High ticket sales.
But that is EXACTLY why they should be part of product suite in 2020. We’re experiencing individuals generating 6 stats in less than a 12 months by using a $27 provide. As an example, Allie Bjerk, runs Facebook advertising to frosty traffic on her SLO using a $27 offer you. This has made practically $500,000 in 9 months having an total 2.4 by ROAS. So, not only is she generating covering and leads her ad spend, she’s also making money. When she promoted her higher ticket offer she experienced a good quality market of consumers and of individuals who joined, 70% got bought her $27 offer.
Then there’s Ashley who has an SLO for Freelance writers and it is covering up her ad invest as she will grow her subscriber list. Engaged community and her SLO was a major contributor to the success of her five figure program launch, by having people come into her community via a paid offer she’s seeing significant growth in her Facebook Group with a lively.
A great SLO can not only cover your advert invest but in addition make you funds when attracting an excellent audience of buyers, as an alternative to plenty of tyre kicking inexpensive leads who never ever even go and available your emails. When the intitial front end offer you is mixed inside a product sales funnel with complementary upsells, we are finding what starts with a $27 provide actually have a standard purchase price of $61 along with an average charge for every transaction of $33.
So, rather than pouring money into free lead magnets and filling up your CRM with cheap unqualified leads, turning that lead magnet into an excellent low ticket offer to bring in quality customers who are actually paying to get on your email list, will make a massive difference to your Facebook Ad Budget and business in 2020.

I think other people have said most of it, but I wonder if thinking of tags as a thing that the original poster decides and then it's done is a missed opportunity. I'd suggest promoting user-curation as the way to handle this.
Right now, my experience following tags is… kinda poor, and it's not because talking-in-tags messes with that that, it's because tags are by their nature inconsistent. For instance, I follow #valorant. But mostly what I'm interested in is cool gameplay highlights and fanart. A lot of what I see is AO3 fanfic, and obviously huge props to those writers, but it's not what I care about. But valorant highlights aren't going to all be tagged 'valorant gameplay', and plenty of artists are going to tag their art 'valorant gameplay' (and yelling at people for tagging wrongly is Not a behavior we need to encourage).
So I don't think clarity & more distinction between talking in tags and tagging fixes the fundamental problem, which is that tags are great for some things (personal blog categorization if the search feature worked, community trends like 'tag your art #kaia-art-challenge-2023 so people can see it!', content warnings) but not great at discovery.
Youtube has playlists, where you let a user or set of users collect videos of a theme. So when I want to find a lot of something, especially something without a clear pattern for titles, I look for a playlist.
Tumblr theoretically has the tools for this--a shared sideblog with a queue that reblogs posts found by the owners or sent in through submissions. And in fact, some of the best blogs I follow are single-purpose collections of 'good posts', for some definition of good, eg @/heritageposts. But running such a sideblog is often involved to set up and maintain. It leads to mod-drama, and following these blogs often means following more asks-about-the-blog than actual content.
I wonder if streamlining that process as a new type of sideblog called a 'collection', and then foregrounding collections in searches/algorithmic feed content would be better than tags. This gives a sort of hybrid model, where users decide what posts are good for a certain interest, and the algorithm's decision is which collections align with a user's interests.
A collection can't make its own posts (and maybe can't even add tags), and default runs on a queue. When creating a collection I think you ask users for 2-5 tags/search terms that best describe the collection, and use those for discovery.
The submit-to-collection and approve-submitted-post should be as streamlined as possible, and duplicate submissions should be ignored.
I think when promoting this, you'd want to emphasize that:
this is useful for fandoms and communities! Encourage people to work together to start collections for their ships/fandoms/favorite memes
collections are collaborative but impersonal. You might moderate a collection, but it's not a personal blog, it's for everybody. And likewise, if you don't moderate a collection, you can also be an important part in growing it by sending good submissions.
we're counting on you, tumblr. 'hey, a lot of people say you need the algorithm to be successful in 2023. we don't think so. help us prove them wrong.'
collections are yet another way for tumblr to do emergent behavior. Like the letterboxd playlist "Movies where a character is involved in an incident which briefly impairs their hearing and leads to us hearing 'EEEEEEEEEEEEE' for a few seconds to symbolize this".
Some issues that immediately come to mind, plus my first thoughts of solutions:
I followed a collection, it was well-curated, and then the user running it stopped posting! -- I think it'd be nice if abandoned collections could be 'picked up', but I think that's probably more of an issue than it fixes. But finding a new similar collection shouldn't be that hard,
I followed a collection, it was well-curated, and then the user started posting things I don't like on it! -- deliberately mistagged things are already an issue. Report collections that post inappropriate content, or unfollow if they just have bad taste.
I'm a collection-curator, and people send things that aren't related at all! -- two options on the approve-submission form, [reject] and [reject + ignore user].
I'm an artist and I want people to see my posts, now I have to submit it to a bunch of different collections to get seen?? -- maybe a field in post/reblog form that also lets you submit to collections. But secondly, rely on your followers! In the same way artists currently say 'reblogs > likes', I think 'if you know a collection that'd love my art, send it in!! <3' is totally reasonable.
I'm running a collection and it's hard and unrewarding! -- thank-you-for-your-hard-work crabs? let people leave messages of thanks? not sure
the problem of commentary in the tags
"talking in the tags" is a very tumblr-unique emergent usage of tags, and that's very cool. i love emergent behavior, tumblr's full of it. ("emergent" in the sense that folks are using features in ways that weren't intended, but aren't disallowed either.)
but "talking the tags" hurts tumblr's ability to use tags for its original intended function: sorting and organizing and surfacing content based on tags. tumblr really needs to get better at organizing and sorting based on tags, but it's really difficult to do with so much "noise" in the tags. with millions upon millions of posts and reblogs to organize and sift through, the number of tags that are actually "commentary" becomes pretty daunting, even for a complex algorithm to sort through.
and yeah, it's not really noise -- i get that people (myself included) use the tags field as a way of "whispering to followers", since traditionally the tags would only be seen by people viewing a post/reblog directly, like in their dashboard, not in the notes view. that's no longer true, of course -- we now have the option to see "comments and tags" by default in the new notes view.
with all of that in mind, how could we improve posting/reblogging on tumblr in such a way that would make folks use the tag field for tags and not "whispers"? do we need a new field in the post form for "whisper content" that doesn't show up anywhere but for followers? do we need a visibility setting for posts, so you can make it so only your followers will see the post in their dashboards, and on your blog, and not anyone in the notes view? how do we preserve all of this awesome unique behavior without stopping the viral spread of content through reblogs? 🤔

WHO? WHAT? WHERE? WHY? HOW?
5 Questions you should ask anyone when they’re starting off a project made from the basis of ego and tenacity. I’m really not a particularly smart person, But I’m smart enough to know how dumb I really am.
I’ve always been itching to do this. Twitter was never a great way to display my thoughts and writing on grounds that by limiting characters your characters by tweet you’d either get into long threads of diatribes that likely no one will even read or you’d have to space out your thoughts and mince words in order to fit to these said limitations. Obviously it’s not a bad way per say to fully flesh out your thoughts but there’s obviously some downsides and you won’t be fully capable of fulfilling those quandaries, much so espousing on your thoughts and opinions to the fullest extent. I could write a book but I’m not knowledgeable enough feel like my thoughts are worth putting into a non-fiction book. I could join discord servers but I don’t know a wreath of people who even care. I could still talk off into the Twitter void but that’s only for short bursts at a time, any ideas or subjects I’d like to elucidate or spell out would just get lost, all my themes would shoot off into the negative space that is a twitter timeline regardless of if they’re worth revisiting or not.
But of course, would it even matter if people do care or they don’t. People live off making Youtube videos and content based on themselves because they assume people actually care about whatever benign thought or creative pursuit they’d have in their head. It’s not up to me to judge if my thoughts are worth putting out there but I guess the reason people use social media is to give a voice to the voiceless, have anyone out there a chance of their own success, But how does that affect content input though, How does impact your very own mental psyche. This is a conversation for another post and it’s far from a topic I’ll have any meaningful outlook on, just from my own experiences as an outsider looking in.
WHO?
I always fancied myself a writer more than an illustrator. The whole crux of my need to learn how to draw was from the idea that “hey no one wants to draw my webcomic ideas on something awful or whatever internet messaging board I was using at the time that’ll date this post when I look back on it when I’m 40, I’ll learn how to draw then and show everyone I can STILL MAKE IT” Then I started drawing and never really looked back. Within the few years or so since I’ve made that discovery I never really focused on my writing, much less my creative writing. I’ve had few instances where I’d try to light up my spark by blog posting was making other short lived wordpresses and blogspots where I can peruse and write for a short while until I get bored and go back to drawing everyday. Of course two particular things happened in which I’ve gotten that spark back, to an extent. 1. The corona virus quarantine happened and I was stuck with nothing to do, I dropped out of school to go to a new college out of country that hasn’t really happened yet and aside from my retail job I haven’t had a good outlet for where to put my creativity too. So I ended up just drawing more but also, reading off some books off my backlog. I’ve always been interested in philosophy and non-fiction since reading Kant and Hume at age 12 and Now rediscovered it because of quarantine. Really I’ve always been a better writer or story teller than anything else but efforts to light up that energy in me has been fruitful and I’ve relegated to being another artist in the pile of artists who’s only personality is that they “like art”. Which made me realized how much of a better self sufficient and self respecting the writer can be rather then the animator. Illustrations are fleeting, words stick with you. Of course greats work of art exist and will always exist. Beautiful paintings can grip me just as much as a good work of philosophy can, But lately beautiful paintings have been disgruntled and disavowed from public schema. If you want to provide good art for people to see, use hashtags and make fast fleeting content for people to consume easily and forget about. Such is the way of social media and how they grip you to keep using their products, It’s not a revolutionary idea but it’s a concept that ends up working. In a way I’d like to counteract this by making fast fleeting content but also putting in forth ideas and writings which I can consider good but we’ll see how that ends up panning out. My goals as an artist is for another topic entirely but really I need a way to practice my non-fiction writing skills and having a blog where I can just go on and on about pointless shit is good exercise. 2. I’ve stopped communicating to people that would point me to a direction in life I didn’t really need to go through and because of that I took a detour in my mental stability and mental development, really it wasn’t good for me. but because of that I was able to keep track of where I need to go and have removed all elements in my life that can allow me to find different paths and know where I’ll truly be. I could also just talk to people about these kinds of stuff but it’s hard to really find people who I can talk about the stuff I want to talk about with and nothing really beats writing a whole diatribe about whatever comes to your mind at the time. Why do I have a lot on my mind? You’ll hear that story in another time but it’s MOST likely an autism thing.
WHAT?
Look at section: Who again but to summarize and clarify what I mean. Content is fast fleeting and non-self actualizing, people don’t want ideas they want content, They need personalities to leech off and see themselves in instead of being creatives themselves. As someone who makes art and wants to make more art It’s hard to really judge if my art is worth it for the algorithm or if it’s worth it to bring in audience retention. Not to mention most people who use social media are kids, and the only way to grab kids attention is to play to their interests, play into their already corroded brains by playing onto their synapses, Not to imply I dislike it per say but more so that I feel that certain audience can somewhat affect your creative output. 
WHERE?
I made a Medium account last month after reading an article on Luxury Communism. It was a fine article but what I got out of it was how good it seems to use Medium to communicate and write articles like these, Until I realized that really it can only be used for more academic pieces and while sure I’d like to do that one day something more lowkey and personal was what I really needed. Hence a tumblr, originally a blogging website before being used to oxidize internet discourse and internet creativity in general, was a perfect outlet for these kinds of posts. I’m actually used to using tumblr for one and can edit and know my way around doing these sorts of posts and the archive feature is good if I ever want to look back on old posts as opposed to Twitter. I can use the ask feauture to take requests or have feedback on my posts in a more concise manner. Unlike Medium or Wordpress I can easily hide certain posts or even the entire account if I wanted too and I won’t be seen or be recommended by the algorithm because I won’t even put tags on these posts. If you know where to find me you know where to find me. Although I do think I’ll make this public at some point I atleast need to know if I’ll even use this or if I’ll even keep making the same kinds of posts as I’d want too.
WHY? 
I’ve already explained why you knucklehead, but I guess here were some of my inspirations to make a writing blog. I could list actual writers or twitter personalities or internet reviewers with blogs I can talk about, for example Yahtzee Crosshaw, Film Crit Hulk, Or even the elusive Andrew Hussie when he had a wordposts and while those people were instrumental to my development as a writer and artist I can’t say they were my full inspiration for making this.
Back in 2016, I was introduced to the Procrastinators’ Podcast by consuming Digibro content and having her podcast be linked at the end of one of her videos. I’ve since started concurrently watching her podcast and while I’ve always sucked into Digi’s cult of personality I’ve started appreciated her other friends in the podcast too, everyone except Nate. One of those members I gravitated too was MunchyWearsTinyHats. He was only one year older than me but I could still see myself in him and in effect appreciated him more than anyone in the podcast. We both seemingly grew up watching and reading the same shit, Homestuck, TF2, He introduced me to Nuclear Throne which because one of my favorite games and we both had the same appreciation for Hussie, Sam Hyde (sadly) Performance art, weird abstract art bullshit and of course My Little Pony. If I actually joined RFCK who knows what would’ve happened but that’s just my take. Of course a surface level description of Munchy aside, as someone who consumed everything he was in, I Lived my life vicariously through him and to all the members of the Procrastinators’ Podcast to an extent even though we both became completely different people as we reached our 20s. Currently he’s 20 and I’m less than a year away to being 20. But I feel as if our paths have drifted far enough that I can properly say I became a whole new different person to who I was in 2016. I still have appreciation for MLP, Homestuck and Minecraft and all the weird media shit me and him consumed. Back then I even modeled my art and persona to look like his too, It was a whole thing. Of course all of these posts and videos and personalities are very very out of date and they don’t reflect the content I consume or even the type of person I am now. I had a friend who also liked the PCP, well it was more like a love-hate relationship I feel but it was nice having someone who I could talk about the PCP with since at this time they were the only people or content creators I was consuming, what’s less said about current pcp the better. She’s always told me, I feel sorry for people who model their lives around these content creators and take advice from them since they clearly don’t know what they’re doing. And while I agree with her to an extent, I wouldn’t go as far as to discredit these artists accomplishments since they seem fulfilled with what they’ve made of themselves, not like we’re doing anything different or are any different to them. It’s about trying to live in a world with your own meaning in it and you can’t do that but disparaging the careers of grown men you don’t even know. Again topic for another day but I guess with this blog I’m always copying and ripping off some of their ideas for myself. In 2019, Munchy made a Tumblr where he’d detail and do the same thing and post blogs or writings he’s made or opinions he’s had, It hasn’t been updated in a year and a half but if it isn’t broke, don’t call the gas company asking for a refund. I even stole his alliteration with Shinsuke’s Soliloquy and Munchy’s Manuscripts, Shinsuke being my real God-given name. Of course the posts on his tumblr are really incredibly out of date and downright stupid and I’ll talk about them on their own on a seperate post since I feel like he really just didn’t know what he talked about and they’re baseline at best and wrong at worst. Regardless he still planted the seed of me as a person to make my own blog and talk about random bullshit.
HOW?
Obviously I will still tweet out stuff on my private twitter, Obviously I will still make art. Right now I’m making my own comics and writing a few short stories that maybe? I’ll put here I’m not really sure. Just depends on if they’re worthy on being posted since I’ll make a short story collection with them instead. Maybe I’ll continue the favorite character writing, maybe I’ll make my own picrew. We’ll see and no doubt these promises will become out of date in a week or two. Rather than the right of the moment malaise of tweeting around bullshit and sending it quickly I’ll use this for more concise text, something that I can sink my teeth in and tap away for what like 5 hours or so? Beats the essays i’d be doing but it doesn’t help that I am typing this in total silence, and I guess those essays will just be posted here. Do people post their school essays like they post their poems or their artwork for school? If you want to use my ask blog then it’s right there if you want a topic for me to talk about or just ask me a regular question. I’m bringing back tumblr asks to it’s real purpose. And of course, the only thing sure about me, is that nothings for sure.

We’re live. Oh, there we go. I see it now. So regardless, we’re live. Welcome to Hump Day Hangouts. Today’s the 27th of January 2021. And we’ve got some good stuff for you guys today. As usual, we got a few quick announcements and then we’re gonna jump into answering your questions. But real quick, just want to say hi, looks like we got most of the guys here today. Let’s see. I’m gonna start with her Nan today. How are you doing, man?
Dude, I’m good. I’m good.
I’m just melting down here. It’s really hot and humid, but it’s okay, man.
We’re supposed to have rain tomorrow. So gonna cool off. Happy to be here.
Nice. what’s the temperature there in Celsius?
And Celsius is like 36. I think so. 36. See, it’s pretty warm. Yeah.
Yeah, that’s 96 points, 97.
All right, that’s getting up. Yeah, that’s on like, maximum temperature scale. So I know you’re a hardware guy. But yeah, some rain on top of that. That sounds nice and humid. So you enjoy that. Yeah. Awesome. Marco. How are you doing today?
Um, I mean, what can I say? Groundhog Day. If you guys understand how it is that you can take $1 and change it into a million dollars. Give me one. Give me a hill. Yeah, let me see. Fuck. I hate those cheesy markers, man. Look, hard work. You gotta work. You gotta do the dude, you got to pay your dues. It’s very people who hit on that one idea with absolutely nothing. But sweat equity. Turn it into a billion-dollar idea. The rest of Us to get to anyone, whatever. I gotta work. I don’t just sit here and do nothing. I yeah, it’s beautiful. It’s a great place to work. I step outside. It’s sunny. It’s warm. It’s beautiful. Got the sun? Got him. Got this. When did my hair look, man? Come on, man. Very few things require no work as most people tell you to should is hard work. And it’s not easy. It’s not easy, but it’s not complicated. It can’t be simplified, which is what we’ve done for you. Alright. So if you want to know how, and you want to know why we’re in the middle of our charity webinars, Bradley killed it on Monday. With his ads for branding. And entity Monday, I’m gonna call it what it is entity manipulation. It was fantastic. A lot of great ideas, a lot of information that literally I’m telling you on Monday would have cost 1000s of dollars anywhere else. You got it for free. Next Monday. What’s the Dixon Jones, internet legend Dixon Jones is coming to show you how to do entities and content. And so this is going to be a recurring theme entities entities entities, brand new entities brand. I wonder why I wonder what’s working in SEO, what has been working, what’s working out what will be working. Anyway, I don’t want to take too much time. Thank you to those of you who donated if you haven’t, then I posted a how-to on the page. I know the information is there. Again, I don’t want to take too much time. And even if you did and you did not register, you won’t be able to access that page. Now. Because that page is gone. We moved it, you can still contact the email that I’ve set on there and you will get access. If you’re given the note no donation, you will get access to the replay. And if you haven’t donated, send proof of the other donation to the email and get access guys’ information. I’m telling you, you would end up paying I know barely one time paid nearly 20 K. And the information was nowhere near as good as the shit that we give away for the price of a donation. I can guarantee it. He told us what the information that he got not that it was useless. But the information that we’re giving away for a charitable donation. I’d be dead. There’s no comparison anywhere. Guaranteed.
Outstanding Marco, something you said at the beginning. I’m just gonna ask you and for those of you watching, I didn’t ask Marco this earlier or anything. But the something you said kind of tickled something in my head. I was wondering Have you read the book The Art of contrary thinking?
Of course.
Okay. I had never heard of it until a couple of weeks ago. And I just picked it up and started going through it. And anyway, I was like, You know what, I bet this is a book Marco would recommend. And just this is a total tangent, but would you recommend people to read it because I’m like 10 pages in and I’m like, I can tell this is gonna be a big one.
I mean, I recommend that you read period, right?
Yeah, read it.
And not just that it’s not just reading that one book but this other but Well, when everybody thinks, Oh, here we go, let me see if I get the quote, right. When everybody thinks the same when everybody thinks alike, everybody is likely to be wrong. Think about that. Think about that. All right. So the art of contrary thinking, Humphrey, was a Yo, yo,
yeah, Neil.
Yeah. Yeah, guys, read the book, read the book. Go read the art of war. Mandatory, mandatory. And then read the commentaries on the art of war. Don’t just read it. Try to figure it out while you’re like trying to read the Bible without the commentaries, right? Without going into the original text. But yeah, definitely, if you can, like a book a week, by all means, for those who can’t just listen to it, listen, listen to books, all the audiobooks are everywhere. But yeah, absolutely recommended.
Awesome. All right. The library tickled something else too. I just put the link down for anyone interested. We should probably we could update this year. We’ve got a recommended reading list which I don’t think the art of country thinking is on my add that on, but I just put it at semantic mastery comm slash books. So go check that out if you’re watching and interested in some of these we’re mentioning so. Okay, sorry, a little bit of a tangent there. But last but not least, Bradley, how are you doing today?
Doing great. Busy as all hell as usual, but doing well. Glad to be here.
Sounds good. All right. Well, I got a little thing to get through here. I wanted to let people know because we do have new people watching every week people coming in on YouTube are catching the replay. So first of all, thank you for watching. You’re in the right place.
Hold on a minute. Did we forget Chris, didn’t we?
Is Chris here. Chris is here. Oh, man. I’m sorry. Well,
I can go again as well. If you don’t like me here today. Chris snuck in the back door when Adam wasn’t looking.
That’s good. I feel bad because we got the little strip up at the top and zoom. So Chris, how are you doing? Man? My bad.
Yeah, doing well here. I didn’t know.
I was wondering because now I wish the most.
Sorry, what are you saying?
I don’t know. I’m shorting the markets, especially on the SEO niche. Not having anything else. Alright, well stay away from GameStop. So that’s already? Yeah. All right, well, let’s get into it. So like I was saying, if you’re here and you’re watching live, let us know how you’re doing. Even if you don’t have a comment, just say hello, get let us know where you’re at, or how you’re doing. And if you’re new to semantic mastery, you’re new to MGYB you’re new to heavy hitters club, the best place for you to start find out how to shield your sites don’t have to worry about algorithm updates again, and it’s a free training that’s available at the SEOshield.com. That’s the word, the SEOshield.com. And you’ll hear us talking about all the stuff that’s involved in that. So if you’re not familiar with words, like SEO shield, that’s a great place for you to get started. From there, definitely recommend picking up the Battle Plan. Alright, that’s step by step processes. So you can get SEO results. And it’s how we do things and the tools we use and the services we use. And you can get that at Battle Plan dot semantic mastery.com the next one after that we also get questions about right as consultants like myself, agency owners like Bradley, people who are, you know, wanting to get more clients who want to grow the revenue, they want to scale the team, they’re still you know, grow at still in growth mode. It’s hard to get that one out of the mouth. And you know, before they’re big enough, they’re thinking, How can I do this? How do I do these three really important things so Bradley and Hernan a little bit, they’ve put together this training last year, that is just amazing? It’s called 2xyouragency, 2xyouragency.com. Just head over there and you can find out more. And for those of you who are serious about growing your digital marketing business or the digital marketing side of your business, and you want to be part of the experienced community, then the mastermind is definitely for you. And that you can find out more at mastermind.semanticmastery.com. And now I mentioned MGYB if you’re not familiar with it, it’s mgyb.co. Alright, that’s done for you services, things like the SEO shield that I mentioned, syndication networks, link building press releases, and a ton more. I believe we’ve got an update coming soon. Right Marco we’ve got a kind of an overhaul on the system coming down the pipeline, right.
We have a complete overhaul of the system. But I mean, Bradley’s in there. So you can tell. He can tell me but I mean, we’re doing several things right. So it’s not just that syndication Academy. Right, that’s coming guys, that’d be an overhaul. And then, of course, we’re gonna have updates and is going to be a new person who just wants to be friendly more time, honestly, than what he could then want to get dedicated to it. It needs more time. So It can work the way that it should. Bradley couldn’t dedicate the time to it. So we just brought someone in. She learned the way. And she was here. I mean, you guys met her, you guys met SC, she’s the one that that’s redoing, syndication Academy, she was doing updates, she’s going to be going into a whole bunch of new profiles and websites that we can use to manipulate the entity. Remember, entity-based, worthless SEO. That’s what this is about the charity webinars are about that, how we’re winning today’s we’re manipulating the entity and showing Google what we want. And we’re getting Google to do what we want Google to do. That’s how we do the dope.
Outstanding. Well, like Marco was saying earlier, if you haven’t yet, you can still get access to the charity webinars highly recommend you do that that is on the page. If for some reason you’re watching this, you can’t find the link, you’re not sure what’s going on. But you know that you want to get in on that you can just send an email to support at semantic mastery comm we’ll get you sorted out and gets taken care of. So with that said, Guys, anything else before we dive into it?
All right, we’re good.
Right, grab the screen.
There it is. Alright,
so it looks like the first one is from mini min. Rob. Hey, guys, I’ve received my order from MGYB. But I don’t know how it works. Well, which order? Is he? Which order? Is he talking about? SEO SEO. But I don’t know.
Rob, if you’re here mini broad. I’m just gonna call it mini Rob. Sorry, man. This may be your actual name. But it makes me think of like a little tiny version of Rob. Yeah. If that’s the case, we need to know more information, right? We can’t tell you what’s going on. We don’t know if you ordered a press release or a link building order or keyword research. So we’re kind of stuck here. So if you let us know, we could probably help you. And then I would also say you probably want to talk to us first and come to Hump Day Hangouts. And if you’re like, maybe I should use this SEO shield thing or the press release thing. If you ask that first, we could definitely explain it. But since you’ve got it now, let us know exactly what you’re doing. And then that’s how we can help you I guess.
That’s good. Okay. All right. So yeah, we can try to answer a few. I’m sorry, I just got was looking at an email that just came in what’s the next question is what’s the best way before? Before you go to the next question, the SEO shield comm if you got an SEO shield, right, the seo.com is the place to go for the training. It’s free. And at the end of that, we even throw in a coupon for you to order whatever it is that you need.
How Do You Push The Link Juice To Power All PDFs In The Entire Amazon S3 Folders?
Beautiful. Okay, so the next one is what’s the best way to push link juice through entire Amazon s3 folders to power up all PDFs within? Also, is it possible, like Google Drive to embed folders to show all files inside the bucket? Thank you, um, the best way to power up an s3 folder? I’m not sure if you can power up a full folder. I’ve never tried that. Usually, I just extract the URLs from within the folder and then just hit those with backlinks. If there are URLs that I want to do that to Marco Do you know, can you make a public folder itself public? Like? I don’t know if the folder has its own URL or what?
Alright, guys, I have no idea. If the s3 folder itself, we know that the HTML documents that we place in their images or whatever it is that we placed in there can be made public. But I’ll tell you what, give me about I’m gonna say three months because we’re about to do some nasty stuff in s3, I was just talking about it with my team, or I shouldn’t call it my team partners. Just the SEO crew that I’m with where we’re going to go and just really look into s3 and how much power there actually is in there. So if you come back, I mean, if not just go in and do it yourself and see if it’ll if it can go public and then the best way to push power to that. The Darya Nuff said an embed gig or a link building gig or both from dedhia to that will push all the power you need. I’m not sure about the folder, but I can guarantee that in about three months. I’ll have all the answers you want about s3.
Is There A Way To Get More Branded GMBs In Different Locations To Boost The Footprint Of A Real Business With No Fixed Address?
Sweet. Next question. Is there a way to get more branded GMBs in different locations to boost the footprint of a real service business that doesn’t have a fixed address and works remotely? Yeah, I mean, if you can, I mean, there’s a couple of ways you can buy GMBs from places that will sell you verified GM bees we used to and MGYB. But I don’t think that’s available anymore. There are still some places that will do it. I even found somewhere that I placed an order but it was way back in November and it still hasn’t been delivered. So you know, I think it’s getting harder to do it. But there I know there are still some vendors out there that will sell verified GM B’s. I’m just not going to recommend any of them because again, the one that I just attempted to use in November, I still haven’t had one delivered yet. So I don’t recommend any of I don’t have any to recommend is what I’m saying but there are GMB verified. You know, you can purchase verified GMB, there are vendors out there that do sell them. The other way is the way that I’ve before people started selling them, I used to always just use Pio boxes, you can go to post offices, one thing you want to do is don’t you don’t want to get to GMBs too close to each other. Right. So if you’re going to do a service area business, which I understand doing that makes total sense, I would have them at least 15 or 20 miles apart. Depending on what your service area is, it could be even bigger, larger, you know further distance between locations. But what you can do is find a post office. And then you fill out a form, it’s free, but it’s to use the street address option. So in other words, like if you go you can do all this online, too, by the way, you can register a PO Box online. And they’ll give you they won’t issue you the box number and till you go to the post office like you have to physically go to the post office and show your IDs and sign the paperwork at the post office. But you can reserve it online and pay for it and everything else. But you do have to physically go to the post office to sign the paperwork and then they’ll assign you the box number at that point. So let’s just say it’s a box one on one. If if the post office is at 123, Main Street, whatever town right, then you can fill out an additional form, it’s free to do it doesn’t cost anything else. But you fill out an additional form to use the street address option. And then you would end up using the address for the GMB listing 123 Main Street number sign like the pound sign 101 right, and that that will work. You can’t add a p o box to GMB as the physical address. But you can do a street address with you know, basically a box number a suite number, but it’s just the pound sign and the post office is very particular about you only using the number sign the pound sign before the box number not sweet. Not box, none of that it’s just the number sign. And again, they’re very particular about that. But that’s the way that I had always done it prior to people selling GMB’s.
And it still works, you know. So that’s another alternative way to do it. And in fact, I actually still prefer that method after but over buying them except for the fact that you have to physically go to the post office that sucks. Because you know, especially if it’s far away, but if it’s within reason and you can drive to it, then I recommend going that route over purchasing GMB listings from vendors. And the reason I say that is because it’s still tied to a real physical address this way. And I feel like those are safer than using the spammed ones because of some of the spammed GMB listings that I have. They don’t have any physical location even referenced or tied to them, which I don’t even know how happens. But like there’s no physical address actually connected with it, and it causes problems with the proximity filter. So and what I’m saying is, even for service area business guys, you understand you have to clear the address like you’re not supposed to per Google’s Terms of Service, you’re not supposed to publish the street address for a service area business. Right. So in other words, if it’s a service area business where the customer or excuse me, the business serves the customer at the customer’s location, then you’re supposed to delete them or clear the physical location when you set your service areas then you’re supposed to clear the physical location from showing and when it does, it literally clears it from the GMB dashboard and it will not any longer show the physical address, the street address in the maps listing or anything. But what I’m saying is, some of the GMB is that I had purchased. They don’t have any street address associated with them at all and I don’t know how they even did it. But it causes issues to where it doesn’t show for like near me searches and stuff like that because there’s no physical location associated with it. And again, I don’t know how they do it because even when you register a new GMB, let’s say It’s a legit business and your service area business and it has a legit physical location where the office or you know the business owner lives or whatever, you have to add that address. When you set when you go to claim or create the GMB listing, you have to add the physical address and then wait for a postcard or a card to be delivered via us a mail to that location that has a pin number in it so that you can verify that that physical location that the business really resides at that physical location. So even when you clear the address to make sure that it’s not published, there is still a physical location associated with that GMB and you don’t see that on the GMB dashboard. But for example, I just recently started using local Viking to manage GMB posts and stuff because it integrates with some of my CRM and stuff. So anyway, I’m using that and when you import GMB listings into local Viking, it shows the street address, even if it’s an unpublished street address, and I’ve got a few listings in there that just no street address appears at all, there’s no physical location associated with it. And those are the ones that I’m having trouble getting to appear for proximity searches such as, like near me, keyword phrases, or search queries. And so again, I would recommend it, the spam listings, they can still work, but there are some drawbacks in them that I don’t like about them. Were the P o box way to get one with an actual physical address tends to work. Still, it still works. And I like that one better, except for the fact that you have to physically go to the post office. Does anybody want to comment on that?
Not me. Okay, moving on then.
But yeah, absolutely. That’s I mean, that’s a great way to do it for large, especially business with large service areas, if you can get multiple maps listings, that’s best. Another way to do it, by the way, just quickly, is you can go to Craigslist and post an ad for that I’ve done that I’ve been successful in the past where I’ve posted an ad and in the, you know, in the area that I want, and say, you know, tell them that I’ll pay him 50 bucks to receive a Google postcard. And, you know, tell me when they when they’ve received it and and and and, you know, call me or text me with the pin number inside the card. Most of the time what happens is you’ll find renters that do that instead of people that own homes because they don’t care if somebody registers a business to a rental property like the renters don’t care. The landlord might, but the renters don’t. So I found that I’ve done that in the past several times when it when they when I was trying to get a GMB in an area that I couldn’t that I just wasn’t you know, it wasn’t feasible to drive to and get a PO Box, then I will use Craigslist. So that’s another way to do it. Okay. Moving on.
Is It Possible To Get Wiki Links To An SEO Agency That Offers Other Services And Has A Blog On Non-Marketing Tech Resources?
Next question, given Wikipedia is a negative view of SEO, is it possible to get links from Wikipedia or wiki data to an SEO agency that also offers other services and has a blog with lots of non-marketing tech resources? Sure, but you can also purchase wiki links. Just like we were talking about spam, GMB listings you can buy. We sell [email protected], our store. And they work I mean, occasionally something will get edited out like, but I’ve actually had one recently that was edited out. And then I just submitted a support request, and I got it restored on another Wikipedia page. So you know, you can buy links, say is it possible? Yeah, cuz you can buy them. I don’t know how to do the edits myself, because I’m not a moderator for Wikipedia. But, you know, that’s one way you could do it is to hire, you know, a Wikipedia editor or moderator, I should say, those are generally really, really expensive. So the other way is just to find a service, like what we have in MGYB, where you can buy them there. I don’t know of any other way to get them to you, Marco.
I mean, there are other ways, but you got to pay for them, or you got to get yourself a Wikipedia page. And you have to be eligible, you have to be able to provide all the documentation that Wikipedia requires. That’s the best thing. The best thing is to get yourself a page on Wikipedia. And Dixon Jones is going to explain on Monday, that’s the most important Wikipedia link that you could possibly get that mentioned in Wikipedia. And then from that, I mean, the next best thing is getting a link on the top page and then getting a link on a page referring to another page as long as it’s relevant. Right. You got to maintain that relevance. But yeah, I mean, just go to MGYB to look for it. We offer it.
What Is A Good Way To Get Lots Of Footer Links Without Having Lots Of Clients?
Sweet Suraj is up he says what’s a good way to get lots of footer links without having lots of clients trying to rank in a competitive area for web design and all other competitors dominate with footer links someone’s exact text. So I’m assuming he means exact anchor text exact match anchor text was hacked footers. Yes. stuff I ever saw.
Yeah. Yeah, that’s funny. Do you say that? Because I, when I read this question earlier and asked what I was gonna suggest, was the only other way that I would know how to do it is the safe network. A lot of those links are hacked footer links, and that when I’m What I mean is like, they literally hack other people’s websites, put links in there for you. It’s so blackhat. But um, you know, it can work. I used to use a lot of safe links years ago when I was doing a lot more blackhat stuff. And I guess there’s really no hats. But when I was doing a lot of really spammy, like, you know, dark alley ship, I used a lot of safe links. I don’t do that anymore. But that’s one way to do it. I don’t recommend it. But that is one way to do it. Anyway, you got any suggestions, Margo?
For further length, Now, why? Alright, so here’s the deal. Um, and I’m gonna say this again. And we explained that I’m going to keep referring back to the webinars on Monday, we explain why we do things, the way that we do, why we create the entity, the way we the way that we do, I’m not gonna go through it here. But we become master mimics. We look at the big dogs. We do what the big dogs do, at the part level, at the algorithmic level, at the patent level, that’s how we do it. All right, if you want to learn how, and why make a donation. Go see our footer links the only way to compete or is there something more powerful than I am missing? Yeah, I mean, I, I don’t think I would go out use that strategy. I’m not I don’t think I know I would use that strategy. I would do other things. So the SEO shield? Yeah. Start there. And then there.
How Can You Run Ads For A Client If You Don’t Have Access To Their Website?
Fitz is up. He says, Hey, guys, hope everyone is well. How can you run ads for a client if you don’t have access to their website? Thanks. You don’t need access to some you can run ads to any URL. The problem is conversion tracking and remarketing and all that other stuff, you know, but you can run ads to any URL that you know. I mean, as far as I know, I don’t think if you have if, if you have a URL, you can run ads to it. The question is why, like if you don’t have access to their website, then you’re not going to be able to install, like the conversion link or code conversion tracking. You know, Google Tag Manager remarketing. You know the remarketing tag all of those things that you would need, but you don’t need them. But I would hate to piss money away on Google ads, or ads period if I couldn’t track conversions. And if I couldn’t build a remarketing list from anybody that visited the page or the site,
so I don’t know why you would want to do it without having access to the site. Go ahead.
Yeah, I’m just wondering if maybe it’s one of those where he’s saying he doesn’t have, edit access. But if somebody can, or if you can talk to the client be like, hey, you just need to take these two steps. You need to copy this code, you need to install it, tell them where to do it. Because Yeah, if you’re in that situation, where for whatever reason, you don’t have access, you need to maybe impress upon them the importance of, hey, you need to get this code on there. Otherwise, you’re gonna be losing money. You know, because you can’t retarget you’re not building retargeting lists, you won’t know about conversions.
Yeah, if you have, if you have, you know, if there’s a webmaster or somebody that is maintaining this site that you just don’t have access to yourself, then you can absolutely still do everything because what I would suggest you do at that point would be to set up Tag Manager. And then just contact, whoever’s managing the site. So the webmaster or the business owner, whoever’s managing the site, contact them and send them the container code for Tag Manager, one goes into the header, one goes into the footer, or right before the closing body tag, either one. And it’s just two snippets of code to get added to the site globally, right, so it’s site-wide code, and then you can add and subtract all the tags that you need inside of Tag Manager which you would have access to meaning you can add tags and triggers and all that stuff and then deploy it all through Tag Manager and will automatically update the website from a remote from tag managed from the Tag Manager dashboard. Once the container code is there, you can add or remove tags, remarketing tags, a conversion tracking all of that stuff. Jason, you can add structured data schema.org All kinds of stuff that you can use Tag Manager for. If you don’t have access to managing the site, the webmaster can install Tag Manager and you can use that.
Any other comments?
No, that’s fine. Okay,
Does It Make A Difference If You Already Added The Supporting Documents Prior To Getting The SEO Location Shield?
so the next one is from Landry. Now I get it, I couldn’t figure out how to pronounce your name. So I appreciate you spelling it out phonetically because Hooked on Phonics works for me. So thank you for that. So Lanre says, Hey, Bradley, I noticed you had problems pronouncing my name. It’s pronounced Landry as an rio. So I’ve got it this time. Now, my question is this, I bought my keyword research from you guys. I built my site, I added three categories with content, and five supporting articles per category, I now need to order my SEO location shield to establish my brand. Okay, I’m not sure that you want to order locations, you know, maybe you do, I don’t have the full context of your project. But let’s just assume that the SEO location showed us what you want to order? Does it make any difference? If I already added the supporting documents prior to getting the SEO location showed? I don’t quite understand the question. Does it matter that you’ve started to build out your site with categories and adding depth to the silos? No, it doesn’t matter at all. Because again, I don’t know that the location, I don’t have the full context, I don’t know what you’re doing. But just from this little bit of detail that I have. I don’t know that the location shield is really what you want and the SEO power shield should be for the brand. And then typically, for top-level silos, you want to do the are the expansion stack, right? Dry S Drive expansion, or drive stack expansion, excuse me? Not necessarily location shield. So if you go take a look at the SEO shield, and you take a look at the three different versions, what does it locate starter shield locations to power shield, right? Power shield is going to be for the brand, that’s what we recommend. But then our wireless expansions, which is a separate product in the store, it’s not on the SEO shield page, cry is drive stack expansion. Go in there. That’s what I would recommend that you buy an expansion for each top-level silo. Does that make sense? Does anybody want to comment on this Marco, do you?
Yeah, I mean, don’t look at it like that. Landry. Don’t look at it like that. You’re done with the website, you can continue working with the website. Yeah, you can have dummy content on the website, you shouldn’t. But you at least need that RSS feed. So yeah, you do need some supporting articles or posts. You have that already. Go in order and SEO shall not a location shield. Because you don’t want to pigeonhole yourself into a geographic location. All right, not if your branding, not if your branding, you can do you can take care of the locations through location-driven pages. On the inner part of the G site, in the beginning, you’re just trying to create I’m not gonna say the keyword, yet but it is its brand plus a keyword, relationships, how your brand relates to the keywords in whatever niche It is, it is that you’re in, especially the top-level keywords, we add it, we intersperse it, we go through all of the documents, everything gets filled with keywords, especially if you order our deep keyword research gig, which this is perfect for, it’s perfect for giving you all of the relevance necessary to really carry out a proper the proper content structure of your website will give you suggestions, you know your project better than we could ever hope to know it. So you have to follow what you know, with what our suggestions are. Once you have all that and once you get the SEO show delivered back, especially the G site that the following that as the ad ID and ordering an expansion won’t interfere with the ad ID. So what you see is okay, now I have a top-level category. So I’m going after gold. Now I want to do gold bars. Well, gold bars go on the inside. So let’s say you’re saying you’re in a city already, and you want the adjoining city. So gold bars add joining the city, however, it is that you choose to pursue that well, we build that for you we can build you an interface so that you don’t have to, and an intersect. So you’re expanding the power of your original branded stack, and G site. And the whole point of this is to keep expanding. So you’re adding depth and breadth to that T site and dry stack the same way that you’re doing it on your website as you find categories. And as you use supporting posts to boost that top-level category that you’re trying to rank eventually you should be pushing so much power. And I see this time and again, that even an empty folder is added. This is when true power will you push it to power and you’re building up that PageRank and ranking score. An empty folder will rank for the keyword that you’re assigning it. And it’s incredible when when when this thing happens, or you’ll pop in and like a new location, and a brand new GMB and you see all kinds of action in the GMB. And you’re wondering why? Well, it’s because you iframe it on the G site or you iframe that on your website, or it’s part of a really deep and wide drive second site. And that’s when the power really comes into play. That’s why I tell people, it’s hard work, you cannot expect to rank with one page for gold. It’s not gonna happen, you can’t ever hope to outrank Amazon with one page, and a couple of supporting posts. Not gonna happen. That’s, that’s a trillion-dollar company that you’re going after you can’t do it for a buck 50. All right, so all of this power and all of these things need to continue taking place, you need to do your press releases, you need to do the link building, you need to do the embeds plus link building. And you need to continue broadening your profile throughout the web, making that footprint bigger, wider, relating more profiles one to the other. This is what the big boys do. You see Apple everywhere you see Amazon, everywhere. So that’s what you have to do. And one of the ways that we do it is exactly the way I just described. Now that takes a lot of work. The way that I like to put this is it like people see it. And it’s really simple. I ordered the SEO shield, and then I just produce content. And magic happens. No, it doesn’t. I’ve been online for 18 years. This is 18 years in the making. Bradley has about a decade and I know her Nana’s around there. Chris has so many years and Adam, I think Well, I know. I’ve known him for six, seven years. So he has at least that long online. So you’re getting decade’s worth of thinking of strategizing of putting everything together into what you see as the SEO shoot. But that’s what it’s for. And that’s what you should order not the location shield, but the branded SEO power shield. Yeah.
Yeah, that’s why I just pulled up the pages on the store, just to demonstrate what Marco was talking about. The SEO power shield is what we recommend for the brand. For the main brand, right, and then from that, because it gives you the syndication network, the drive stack with the G site, and then the IDX page. So that’s for the main entity, right the brand itself, and then from there, you go from the store, go click into the Google RYS expansion stacks. And these are the expansion stacks of each top-level silo. Right? So each silo on the site. So top-level category, top-level keyword, you should have an RBS expansion stack. If you’re doing a local business and you’re you have location-based silos, however, you do that, I do it using the tag structure inside of WordPress, then I also order a separate expansion stack for each location, if that makes sense, but I don’t want to confuse you. As I said, if you’re doing it on just topical stuff, then you’d want a separate expansion stack for each one of your top-level silos. You don’t need additional ID pages and then additional g sites, which is what happens when you order location shield. So in fact, I would we would recommend against that.
Okay, so hopefully that clarifies that.
All right, moving on.
Does it make a difference in priority? No, no, it doesn’t, you can just as long as you have, all that you need is you need the web, the URLs, when that you’re going to push, you know uses your main target URL for your drive stack. And then for each one of your expansion stacks you’re going to get, you’re going to have a field that you have to submit your main target URL, it’s going to be one primary target URL per expansion. As long as those URLs are available, like on your site, that’s fine. It doesn’t matter whether there’s content there or anything, to begin with, you can order it with just the URL. The only thing that has to have content is the RSS feed for the SEO power shield order because the syndication network, if it’s an RSS driven syndication network as opposed to YouTube, then it needs the RSS feed has to have so the RSS Feed URL has to contain at least one item it can be the Hello World post for that matter, it doesn’t matter. As long as it has one item in the RSS feed, then they can set up the applets inside IFTTT but that’s it though the rest of the site doesn’t need to look at content on it. If it just has the URLs available in. That’s it. And for anybody watching this at this point watching the replay, enlarge the video so you can get the information about donating to the charity and accessing the webinar.
Do You Have Any Tips In Using Linktree Other Than Hammering It With Backlinks?
Okay, sweet. Let’s keep moving. Jim’s up. What’s up, Jim? He says, Hey, gang, I was curious if you guys have any tips or tricks to apply to link tree? That’s a good site. I just started playing with that a little bit more actually. Other than the usual hammer the shit out of it with backlinks. You can embed it. So yeah, it’s pretty much the same thing that we would always recommend hammer with backlinks. You can also embed link tree itself, the link tree page, which is just a collection of links, right. So that’s just you can also do embeds and backlinks to the embeds. Anything else?
Scorched earth Seo? hammer? I don’t know any other strategy. I don’t understand anything else other than if it can stand it, give it more. And if it takes that much, then try some more. Well, you know what it is man? Just go do the do.
How Would You Silo Structure A Website With Multiple Topics?
Alright, baby, what’s up, man? He says, Hey, guys, a better example for last weekend’s question how Google treat pages that are not related topically to the site, say you are a site about marketing. The silo is about software. Let’s say all the marketing software goes here. But what if we add non-marketing software pages to the silo to that silo-like employment software, or betting software, etc. So the new silo be opened to nonrelated marketing software? No. And in a case like that, BB, I would have subcategories. So I would use a complex silo structure for that type of site because the software would be the parent category, the top-level category, but then you would create subcategories for the different types of software marketing software is a subcategory. What were some of the other one’s employment software being another sub sub category, and then betting software or investing software? Right. forex software, like there’s a, you know, productivity software, like every one of those could be sub-categories. And then you would add supporting articles, which could be reviews of those types of different software in their appropriate subcategory. So in a situation like what you’re describing this time, in which you provided more context, this time than you usually do. So thank you for that, by the way, then then, yeah, I would use a complex silo structure for something like that. And I would add subcategories and appropriately place the articles and supporting articles and such within the correct cat subcategories. That is something that you could do.
Comments?
yeah, treated as a directory for marketing? And how would you build that directory then for marketing related categories and subcategories, and maybe some not so specific categories that do relate to marketing, but not in a direct manner, you could totally do that. Just be careful how far in the weeds you go, because you could end up somewhere totally not relevant to whatever it is that you’re doing. And then in that case, it’s not as if you’d be penalized or anything, it’s just that you’re not going to get any, well, you shouldn’t get any action, because the AI will know that there’s absolutely no relationship between that uncategorized or irrelevant category, and everything else that you’re doing, with the caveat that if you’re pushing enough power, it will rack it just takes monster power to do it.
Yeah. Yeah, and, and actually, you know, that’s, I, I prefer using simple silos as much as possible. But in the situation that you’re describing here, that’s perfect for a complex silo. And you can push a shit ton of power with the complex silo guys if you know how to how to set up your internal linking correctly. Complex silos can push a ton of power to the top-level keyword. So again, you know, you got to map that out before ever starting a complex silo site, spend some time mapping it out, like not just the immediate need, but your future needs as well, because that’s part of the problem with a complex silo structure is it’s real easy to get started and think that you have an idea of what you want your silo structure to look like when you’re starting off and you have, you know, a finite or a limited amount of content and ideas. But as the project grows, you’re probably going to figure like, Oh shit, I should have figured it. I should have structured the site in this way instead. And that’s part of the problem with complex silo structures is their complex just like the name? Just like, that’s why it’s in the name, excuse me. But if you do it correctly, if you map it out, right, then you can I mean, it’s just amazing. And how much power you can push with those. But again, it’s like I remember, that’s part of the reason I like to do those anymore at all is that I would spend literally hours upon hours a day to, you know, a day or two on just mapping out the site before starting the build. And even then even after doing all of that mapping work and trying to decide on how I was going to structure the site, a lot of the times, at some point in the future, I would end up kicking myself for structuring it that way, because I should have done something else, you know what I mean? So I prefer not to do that if needed. But if so, I mean, if that’s the route, that you’re going to go spend some time on the front end, you’ll, you’ll be glad that you did. And yeah, you can push a lot of power that way, for sure.
Well, that’s if you’re building a directory, this complexity in building a directory to start with. So try to keep it simple. And don’t spend hours trying to map out the site, just get to work on it, and try to work it out conceptually, as you go, you’re still gonna run into problems and having to 301 and having to redo your URL structure. But that’s a lot better, man.
Do Semantic Mastery’s Methods Only Work On Google Search Engines?
So the next question is, do your methods work only on Google search engines and YouTube? Or should they should it also work on search engines like Facebook or Pinterest search, etc. I mean, we optimize for Google? Because you know, that’s what 70 or 80% of all search traffic. I can’t speak for Facebook or Pinterest, those algorithms are totally different. But oftentimes, when we optimize for Google, then we end up ranking in Bing and Yahoo because many and Yahoo are one and the same anymore. But it’s only I think, they’ve got a little bit more market share than they used to, but it’s somewhere around 30%, I think. But I don’t optimize for Bing, or, I mean, I just optimize for Google. Because that’s, you know, that’s where the bulk of all traffic comes from. And usually, we end up ranking in Yahoo, and Bing also, comments on that?
Yeah, I mean, we want Google search. That’s what we’re after. In some places in some countries some areas, over 90% of the search market, is in Google. So if you have something that’s search-based, which is totally local business, or whatever, then it just stands to reason that you’re going to focus on Google. Now, if you’re going to go and work on the Pinterest algorithm that you have to learn the Pinterest algorithm. And some of the methods that we teach might not work in Pinterest, but I’m not gonna get into how Pinterest works here works differently. The same thing with Facebook, the Facebook algorithm works differently. It just does. They’re similar. So as the Bing algorithm, they’re all based on the same thing, right, trying to see how they rank for a certain query. At the end of the day, that’s what you’re trying to do. But you have to learn the requirements. So you mentioned Pinterest, and, and Facebook, you’d have to try those people want Amazon, we have to go in and figure that one out. Then Bing, Yahoo. Why when we can get 80 to 90%. In Google, and then the other ones, we can just run ads and get results. Yep,
I agree.
Have You Ever Ranked Something Using Citations Only?
All right. Ah, next question. Have you ever ranked something with citations only and without links? Let’s, let’s say you have a non-local site, say e-commerce does brand citations without backlinks. Will that work? First of all, I don’t know because all I do is local stuff. I’ve ranked local stuff with just citations like a local business directory or business directory citations like structured citations. Sometimes they’ll contain links, oftentimes, they’ll contain links. It’s been a long time since I’ve tried to rank any local business project with just citations. It’s probably possible still, but citations are just a part of an overall picture. Now that’s talking about, like, structured citations like business directory listings for local type business sites. I think what you’re talking about is like co-citation, right? where somebody is talking or a citation, I guess, in a broader sense, can be just a brand mention, right?
I’ve never tried that. I don’t know why you would mean, I’ve never tried it. So I can’t answer that. Can you know, because the citation is a backlink? So I don’t get it. I don’t get the question to start with. And let’s, let’s see, let’s say you have a non-local site. That’s e-commerce does do brand citations without backlinks work, or will they work? I have no clue because that’s not how we do. We actually use citations as part of the entity. It’s all part of entity-based. worry less SEO, especially local, like the broader you go The less necessary they can put your branded citations if you can get them in the big ones in the data aggregators, as a matter of fact, work really well because they’re links. They’re places where Google goes to see the data to pull data, but it. Alright, so this question I’m not gonna pick on you, I’m just saying is missing the point of the ranking score and PageRank algorithm, and of every other algorithm, because Google has to go through a link somewhere to get to the server, wherever this branded or number, enter the citation or wherever this other thing is, without that link, there’s absolutely no way that Google can go from one server to the other, it’s not magic, Google cannot teleport, it can’t jump into another server, right? It’s a, it’s HTTP or HTTPS. That’s the protocol. As well, there has to be something that connects them that connect, now you what you’re talking about. And, again, I’m gonna go back to our webinar Monday, it was killer, you have two nodes, is what you’re talking about. One is your brand, whatever. And you have another note somewhere that mentioned your brand, Google has to get that get to that, each of those and relate them some way. And the way it does that is through links. So the more links that are connected to your e-commerce site, and to wherever that brand citation is, right, the more power it will have, because that Google can start creating the relationship for the distance graph algorithm with again, I’m not going to get into any of that. What I’m just saying is, you need to start conceiving in this another way, because the things that you’re asking are a little bit conceptually off on this. I’m reading this incorrectly, in which case I’d like you to explain what it is that you mean, you did a really good job on the other one of explaining what it was. Yeah.
Yeah, I agree. So I said I was more contents context in that last question than what we’re used to from BB. So. Okay, so the next question is from is not really a question, as Jim says, He says, but rather a wiki experience, I have a site that has six wikilinks pointing to it from different or two different articles. I didn’t pay for them, they were added in a natural manner. So organic links. That’s awesome.
Those quotes, I’d like to know what those natural means is it’s in quotes. Well, that’s true. That’s true. But I think he means that it’s just he’s got good content, and somebody, you know, linked to it naturally from an article. That’s how I interpreted but you’re right, since it’s in quotes, it might be. Anyway, those links are very powerful. And I highly recommend trying to get one through whatever means necessary pro tip have the best, most thorough, most documented article on a subject and then cross your fingers. You know, that’s a great point, Jim, because here’s the thing. You can purchase wiki links, right? Like, we just talked about that from, or links from Wikipedia or links, you can get a link on Wikipedia by buying it from our service. But don’t just link to like something that, you know, if I recommend that you are linking to something that has some well-written content, not just like, you know, a spammy page or something like that on the site. I mean, you can try to get away with that. But the problem with that is it it’s likely going to get moderated out at some time. Like even if your link gets placed. At some point, somebody’s probably going to discover that it’s linking to something if it’s not linking to something that is resourceful, right? That is a resource that is relevant to the page that the Wikipedia that Wikipedia is linking from, then it’s going to end up being moderated out at some point, it’s almost guaranteed it’s just a matter of time. So I recommend that if you are going to buy Wikipedia links that you do link to a piece of content on the site that you’re linking to that is relevant, and has some useful information on there. Right. So that it’s less likely to get moderated out at some later date by some other Wikipedia moderator. Okay.
Comments, good?
No, no, I mean, fantastic if you can get them and I saw that later on. He said, organic. That’s fantastic. You can get organic links if you can become the source or a source for that Wikipedia page. That’s fantastic. Because now that now you have a relationship to that seed site. I’m going to talk seed sites and seed sets are I don’t want to confuse all y'all up. But that’s what happened. You related to trust to trusted and authoritative sources. Thereby you become a trusted and authoritative source. Which is why it’s working so well.
Adam, you on, you turn your camera on. So I’m assuming you got something to say?
Unknown Speaker 55:08 No, it was let’s say I’m going to reach out to Jim, I want to ask him a question because he’s had some interesting comments over the last couple of weeks. So talking about AI stuff. And then now with organic Wikipedia links, so Jim, I’m gonna track you down, are you if you can find me, so shoot me a message. But yeah, I just actually had a note on the kind of the last, or sorry, the last question of the day here.
Thoughts On The AWS Email About Allowing Public Access
Okay, cool. So, Jay says Amazon AWS sent out an email warning about allowing public access to an s3 bucket. Yeah, I’ve gotten dozens of those emails. Yeah, the wording was such that it sounds like they’re removing public access. And if you are in disagreement with that, I don’t think that’s the case. That’s not the way I read it. Yeah. And
I just pulled it up to double-check just did a quick read through. And they don’t say that they just say that. You should have some buckets configured that way, that may not be what you intended. So we suggest you fix it. And then, you know, talk to us if you have a question, but it doesn’t say that we’re gonna change it or anything like that.
Yeah. Thank you, Adam. Because that’s when I read his question. Or when I read this question, I thought about that. I was like, you know, I better go back and reread, because I mean, I’ve gotten dozens and dozens of those emails. And I’ve read through them a couple of times. And the way that I interpreted it was what Adam just said was, like, it’s telling you like, Hey, you probably didn’t mean for the bucket to have public access. But if you did, it’s not recommended. But I didn’t see anywhere where it said they were going to revert them to protect. A lot of problems.
Yeah, the only thing is one line. If you have a business need to maintain some level of public access, please see an overview of managing access, and they give references for more in-depth instructions on managing just to make sure you’ve done the correct level of access. Yeah.
Yeah, when I set up my buckets, I set them up to where objects can be public. But the folder itself, or the bucket itself isn’t entirely public, it just allows for individual items to be made public. That’s the way that I set up all my buckets so that I can pick and choose whether I want them to be public at the time that I upload the files. So hopefully, that makes sense. we’re about out of time, Jim says sorry, natural and organic. Yeah, we saw that. Thank you. Jim, by the way, reached out to Adam BB says I mean, so this is a guest clarification for his previous question. He says, I mean, you have an e-commerce site for dog food named SM doggy will a mentioned citation that way mentioned or a citation of that, and other sites will promote the site without a backlink? Again, I don’t know. I mean, for local businesses, having the name, address, and phone number published online, even without a backlink count as a citation, which is like a vote of confidence, right? It’s just because what is it doing? It’s just validating entity information. Does that make sense? That’s why it’s so important to have a name, address and phone number always published exactly the same. Because even having punctuation different or using the ampersand sign instead of A and D, or something like that, right are sometimes having IMC or LLC at the end. And other times not all of them. If you have variations of the name, address, and phone number published even with no backlink, then that can start to ambiguous. The data, right and that’s why local businesses have published mention of the name, address, and phone number, even without a backlink does count as a citation and can help to rank now, can it be can you purely rank on that? I don’t know. I’ve never tried it. But when you’re talking about that type of citation for a nonlocal site like an e-commerce site? I have zero experience with any of that whatsoever. I can’t imagine that it would but I can’t say whether it does or not. Because I’ve never done anything like that. comments.
It creates co-occurrence. It is a no co-citation or a citation. If it’s the full local citation, right? Name, Address phone number, the NA p other than that I don’t know I’d like depends on the competition. If there’s no competition, I see where it just mentioned, of your site on powerful sites would make a difference. But if like, like most places, that the competition is fierce, then no, you’re not going to get away with something like that.
Yeah, and I think it’s kind of interesting to backing this up a level away from purely the SEO benefit and saying, Well, if your name let’s say the SM dog food brand is mentioned on Huffington Post, like yeah, you know what, I bet Our website is gonna see some increased traffic and it’s not a direct link, right. It’s just by getting out there and building the brand. You know, that’s kind of what’s happening there as to how I see it without getting into the technical side.
Yeah. And you know, actually, just to follow up, Adam, that’s a really good point. And I know this to be true, because when I started my land investment, my land flipping business, I experienced it firsthand. And that is if you can get a name published online, right, and somebody but it’s not a backlink, but somebody reads the name and they’re curious, they’ll go Google that. And then it pulls up the brand. And then they click through that’s a navigational or brand search query, that then a click through. So that’s a huge SEO signal, when somebody reads a name, brand name somewhere and then goes in Google searches and then clicks through that’s a fantastic SEO signal. And I experienced that with alpha land Realty, my business, my real estate business because when I first started, I was just running ads, I didn’t do any SEO at all, nothing, I just have a single and it’s still to this day, just have a single landing page on click funnels. For you know, for that business, basically. And all I started I was sending I was running Google ads to that but no SEO and then I started sending a direct mail out to property owners with my brand name Alfa land realty on it. And what happened was I started seeing alpha land realty ranked number one for even like, my keywords like sell land fast Virginia and things like that. And I couldn’t figure out why because I hadn’t done any SEO work whatsoever. And then I started digging into it. And I realized that people were doing navigational search queries because they would get letters from me direct mail letters from me that would state you know, hey, alpha land realty wants to buy your property, if you’re interested, go here, blah, blah, blah. And they would go to Google and search alpha land Realty and then click through and because of that, I started to rank in a matter of like three weeks with zero SEO work. And it was because of those brand searches, which is why we talked about engagement signals are absolutely critical, are super powerful. You want to comment on that, guys before we wrap it up?
Yeah, I think that’s good.
Okay, thanks, everybody for being here. We’ll see you guys next week. See ya.

Announcement
We’re live. Oh, there we go. I see it now. So regardless, we’re live. Welcome to Hump Day Hangouts. Today’s the 27th of January 2021. And we’ve got some good stuff for you guys today. As usual, we got a few quick announcements and then we’re gonna jump into answering your questions. But real quick, just want to say hi, looks like we got most of the guys here today. Let’s see. I’m gonna start with her Nan today. How are you doing, man?
Dude, I’m good. I’m good.
I’m just melting down here. It’s really hot and humid, but it’s okay, man.
We’re supposed to have rain tomorrow. So gonna cool off. Happy to be here.
Nice. what’s the temperature there in Celsius?
And Celsius is like 36. I think so. 36. See, it’s pretty warm. Yeah.
Yeah, that’s 96 points, 97.
All right, that’s getting up. Yeah, that’s on like, maximum temperature scale. So I know you’re a hardware guy. But yeah, some rain on top of that. That sounds nice and humid. So you enjoy that. Yeah. Awesome. Marco. How are you doing today?
Um, I mean, what can I say? Groundhog Day. If you guys understand how it is that you can take $1 and change it into a million dollars. Give me one. Give me a hill. Yeah, let me see. Fuck. I hate those cheesy markers, man. Look, hard work. You gotta work. You gotta do the dude, you got to pay your dues. It’s very people who hit on that one idea with absolutely nothing. But sweat equity. Turn it into a billion-dollar idea. The rest of Us to get to anyone, whatever. I gotta work. I don’t just sit here and do nothing. I yeah, it’s beautiful. It’s a great place to work. I step outside. It’s sunny. It’s warm. It’s beautiful. Got the sun? Got him. Got this. When did my hair look, man? Come on, man. Very few things require no work as most people tell you to should is hard work. And it’s not easy. It’s not easy, but it’s not complicated. It can’t be simplified, which is what we’ve done for you. Alright. So if you want to know how, and you want to know why we’re in the middle of our charity webinars, Bradley killed it on Monday. With his ads for branding. And entity Monday, I’m gonna call it what it is entity manipulation. It was fantastic. A lot of great ideas, a lot of information that literally I’m telling you on Monday would have cost 1000s of dollars anywhere else. You got it for free. Next Monday. What’s the Dixon Jones, internet legend Dixon Jones is coming to show you how to do entities and content. And so this is going to be a recurring theme entities entities entities, brand new entities brand. I wonder why I wonder what’s working in SEO, what has been working, what’s working out what will be working. Anyway, I don’t want to take too much time. Thank you to those of you who donated if you haven’t, then I posted a how-to on the page. I know the information is there. Again, I don’t want to take too much time. And even if you did and you did not register, you won’t be able to access that page. Now. Because that page is gone. We moved it, you can still contact the email that I’ve set on there and you will get access. If you’re given the note no donation, you will get access to the replay. And if you haven’t donated, send proof of the other donation to the email and get access guys’ information. I’m telling you, you would end up paying I know barely one time paid nearly 20 K. And the information was nowhere near as good as the shit that we give away for the price of a donation. I can guarantee it. He told us what the information that he got not that it was useless. But the information that we’re giving away for a charitable donation. I’d be dead. There’s no comparison anywhere. Guaranteed.
Outstanding Marco, something you said at the beginning. I’m just gonna ask you and for those of you watching, I didn’t ask Marco this earlier or anything. But the something you said kind of tickled something in my head. I was wondering Have you read the book The Art of contrary thinking?
Of course.
Okay. I had never heard of it until a couple of weeks ago. And I just picked it up and started going through it. And anyway, I was like, You know what, I bet this is a book Marco would recommend. And just this is a total tangent, but would you recommend people to read it because I’m like 10 pages in and I’m like, I can tell this is gonna be a big one.
I mean, I recommend that you read period, right?
Yeah, read it.
And not just that it’s not just reading that one book but this other but Well, when everybody thinks, Oh, here we go, let me see if I get the quote, right. When everybody thinks the same when everybody thinks alike, everybody is likely to be wrong. Think about that. Think about that. All right. So the art of contrary thinking, Humphrey, was a Yo, yo,
yeah, Neil.
Yeah. Yeah, guys, read the book, read the book. Go read the art of war. Mandatory, mandatory. And then read the commentaries on the art of war. Don’t just read it. Try to figure it out while you’re like trying to read the Bible without the commentaries, right? Without going into the original text. But yeah, definitely, if you can, like a book a week, by all means, for those who can’t just listen to it, listen, listen to books, all the audiobooks are everywhere. But yeah, absolutely recommended.
Awesome. All right. The library tickled something else too. I just put the link down for anyone interested. We should probably we could update this year. We’ve got a recommended reading list which I don’t think the art of country thinking is on my add that on, but I just put it at semantic mastery comm slash books. So go check that out if you’re watching and interested in some of these we’re mentioning so. Okay, sorry, a little bit of a tangent there. But last but not least, Bradley, how are you doing today?
Doing great. Busy as all hell as usual, but doing well. Glad to be here.
Sounds good. All right. Well, I got a little thing to get through here. I wanted to let people know because we do have new people watching every week people coming in on YouTube are catching the replay. So first of all, thank you for watching. You’re in the right place.
Hold on a minute. Did we forget Chris, didn’t we?
Is Chris here. Chris is here. Oh, man. I’m sorry. Well,
I can go again as well. If you don’t like me here today. Chris snuck in the back door when Adam wasn’t looking.
That’s good. I feel bad because we got the little strip up at the top and zoom. So Chris, how are you doing? Man? My bad.
Yeah, doing well here. I didn’t know.
I was wondering because now I wish the most.
Sorry, what are you saying?
I don’t know. I’m shorting the markets, especially on the SEO niche. Not having anything else. Alright, well stay away from GameStop. So that’s already? Yeah. All right, well, let’s get into it. So like I was saying, if you’re here and you’re watching live, let us know how you’re doing. Even if you don’t have a comment, just say hello, get let us know where you’re at, or how you’re doing. And if you’re new to semantic mastery, you’re new to MGYB you’re new to heavy hitters club, the best place for you to start find out how to shield your sites don’t have to worry about algorithm updates again, and it’s a free training that’s available at the SEOshield.com. That’s the word, the SEOshield.com. And you’ll hear us talking about all the stuff that’s involved in that. So if you’re not familiar with words, like SEO shield, that’s a great place for you to get started. From there, definitely recommend picking up the Battle Plan. Alright, that’s step by step processes. So you can get SEO results. And it’s how we do things and the tools we use and the services we use. And you can get that at Battle Plan dot semantic mastery.com the next one after that we also get questions about right as consultants like myself, agency owners like Bradley, people who are, you know, wanting to get more clients who want to grow the revenue, they want to scale the team, they’re still you know, grow at still in growth mode. It’s hard to get that one out of the mouth. And you know, before they’re big enough, they’re thinking, How can I do this? How do I do these three really important things so Bradley and Hernan a little bit, they’ve put together this training last year, that is just amazing? It’s called 2xyouragency, 2xyouragency.com. Just head over there and you can find out more. And for those of you who are serious about growing your digital marketing business or the digital marketing side of your business, and you want to be part of the experienced community, then the mastermind is definitely for you. And that you can find out more at mastermind.semanticmastery.com. And now I mentioned MGYB if you’re not familiar with it, it’s mgyb.co. Alright, that’s done for you services, things like the SEO shield that I mentioned, syndication networks, link building press releases, and a ton more. I believe we’ve got an update coming soon. Right Marco we’ve got a kind of an overhaul on the system coming down the pipeline, right.
We have a complete overhaul of the system. But I mean, Bradley’s in there. So you can tell. He can tell me but I mean, we’re doing several things right. So it’s not just that syndication Academy. Right, that’s coming guys, that’d be an overhaul. And then, of course, we’re gonna have updates and is going to be a new person who just wants to be friendly more time, honestly, than what he could then want to get dedicated to it. It needs more time. So It can work the way that it should. Bradley couldn’t dedicate the time to it. So we just brought someone in. She learned the way. And she was here. I mean, you guys met her, you guys met SC, she’s the one that that’s redoing, syndication Academy, she was doing updates, she’s going to be going into a whole bunch of new profiles and websites that we can use to manipulate the entity. Remember, entity-based, worthless SEO. That’s what this is about the charity webinars are about that, how we’re winning today’s we’re manipulating the entity and showing Google what we want. And we’re getting Google to do what we want Google to do. That’s how we do the dope.
Outstanding. Well, like Marco was saying earlier, if you haven’t yet, you can still get access to the charity webinars highly recommend you do that that is on the page. If for some reason you’re watching this, you can’t find the link, you’re not sure what’s going on. But you know that you want to get in on that you can just send an email to support at semantic mastery comm we’ll get you sorted out and gets taken care of. So with that said, Guys, anything else before we dive into it?
All right, we’re good.
Right, grab the screen.
There it is. Alright,
so it looks like the first one is from mini min. Rob. Hey, guys, I’ve received my order from MGYB. But I don’t know how it works. Well, which order? Is he? Which order? Is he talking about? SEO SEO. But I don’t know.
Rob, if you’re here mini broad. I’m just gonna call it mini Rob. Sorry, man. This may be your actual name. But it makes me think of like a little tiny version of Rob. Yeah. If that’s the case, we need to know more information, right? We can’t tell you what’s going on. We don’t know if you ordered a press release or a link building order or keyword research. So we’re kind of stuck here. So if you let us know, we could probably help you. And then I would also say you probably want to talk to us first and come to Hump Day Hangouts. And if you’re like, maybe I should use this SEO shield thing or the press release thing. If you ask that first, we could definitely explain it. But since you’ve got it now, let us know exactly what you’re doing. And then that’s how we can help you I guess.
That’s good. Okay. All right. So yeah, we can try to answer a few. I’m sorry, I just got was looking at an email that just came in what’s the next question is what’s the best way before? Before you go to the next question, the SEO shield comm if you got an SEO shield, right, the seo.com is the place to go for the training. It’s free. And at the end of that, we even throw in a coupon for you to order whatever it is that you need.
How Do You Push The Link Juice To Power All PDFs In The Entire Amazon S3 Folders?
Beautiful. Okay, so the next one is what’s the best way to push link juice through entire Amazon s3 folders to power up all PDFs within? Also, is it possible, like Google Drive to embed folders to show all files inside the bucket? Thank you, um, the best way to power up an s3 folder? I’m not sure if you can power up a full folder. I’ve never tried that. Usually, I just extract the URLs from within the folder and then just hit those with backlinks. If there are URLs that I want to do that to Marco Do you know, can you make a public folder itself public? Like? I don’t know if the folder has its own URL or what?
Alright, guys, I have no idea. If the s3 folder itself, we know that the HTML documents that we place in their images or whatever it is that we placed in there can be made public. But I’ll tell you what, give me about I’m gonna say three months because we’re about to do some nasty stuff in s3, I was just talking about it with my team, or I shouldn’t call it my team partners. Just the SEO crew that I’m with where we’re going to go and just really look into s3 and how much power there actually is in there. So if you come back, I mean, if not just go in and do it yourself and see if it’ll if it can go public and then the best way to push power to that. The Darya Nuff said an embed gig or a link building gig or both from dedhia to that will push all the power you need. I’m not sure about the folder, but I can guarantee that in about three months. I’ll have all the answers you want about s3.
Is There A Way To Get More Branded GMBs In Different Locations To Boost The Footprint Of A Real Business With No Fixed Address?
Sweet. Next question. Is there a way to get more branded GMBs in different locations to boost the footprint of a real service business that doesn’t have a fixed address and works remotely? Yeah, I mean, if you can, I mean, there’s a couple of ways you can buy GMBs from places that will sell you verified GM bees we used to and MGYB. But I don’t think that’s available anymore. There are still some places that will do it. I even found somewhere that I placed an order but it was way back in November and it still hasn’t been delivered. So you know, I think it’s getting harder to do it. But there I know there are still some vendors out there that will sell verified GM B’s. I’m just not going to recommend any of them because again, the one that I just attempted to use in November, I still haven’t had one delivered yet. So I don’t recommend any of I don’t have any to recommend is what I’m saying but there are GMB verified. You know, you can purchase verified GMB, there are vendors out there that do sell them. The other way is the way that I’ve before people started selling them, I used to always just use Pio boxes, you can go to post offices, one thing you want to do is don’t you don’t want to get to GMBs too close to each other. Right. So if you’re going to do a service area business, which I understand doing that makes total sense, I would have them at least 15 or 20 miles apart. Depending on what your service area is, it could be even bigger, larger, you know further distance between locations. But what you can do is find a post office. And then you fill out a form, it’s free, but it’s to use the street address option. So in other words, like if you go you can do all this online, too, by the way, you can register a PO Box online. And they’ll give you they won’t issue you the box number and till you go to the post office like you have to physically go to the post office and show your IDs and sign the paperwork at the post office. But you can reserve it online and pay for it and everything else. But you do have to physically go to the post office to sign the paperwork and then they’ll assign you the box number at that point. So let’s just say it’s a box one on one. If if the post office is at 123, Main Street, whatever town right, then you can fill out an additional form, it’s free to do it doesn’t cost anything else. But you fill out an additional form to use the street address option. And then you would end up using the address for the GMB listing 123 Main Street number sign like the pound sign 101 right, and that that will work. You can’t add a p o box to GMB as the physical address. But you can do a street address with you know, basically a box number a suite number, but it’s just the pound sign and the post office is very particular about you only using the number sign the pound sign before the box number not sweet. Not box, none of that it’s just the number sign. And again, they’re very particular about that. But that’s the way that I had always done it prior to people selling GMB’s.
And it still works, you know. So that’s another alternative way to do it. And in fact, I actually still prefer that method after but over buying them except for the fact that you have to physically go to the post office that sucks. Because you know, especially if it’s far away, but if it’s within reason and you can drive to it, then I recommend going that route over purchasing GMB listings from vendors. And the reason I say that is because it’s still tied to a real physical address this way. And I feel like those are safer than using the spammed ones because of some of the spammed GMB listings that I have. They don’t have any physical location even referenced or tied to them, which I don’t even know how happens. But like there’s no physical address actually connected with it, and it causes problems with the proximity filter. So and what I’m saying is, even for service area business guys, you understand you have to clear the address like you’re not supposed to per Google’s Terms of Service, you’re not supposed to publish the street address for a service area business. Right. So in other words, if it’s a service area business where the customer or excuse me, the business serves the customer at the customer’s location, then you’re supposed to delete them or clear the physical location when you set your service areas then you’re supposed to clear the physical location from showing and when it does, it literally clears it from the GMB dashboard and it will not any longer show the physical address, the street address in the maps listing or anything. But what I’m saying is, some of the GMB is that I had purchased. They don’t have any street address associated with them at all and I don’t know how they even did it. But it causes issues to where it doesn’t show for like near me searches and stuff like that because there’s no physical location associated with it. And again, I don’t know how they do it because even when you register a new GMB, let’s say It’s a legit business and your service area business and it has a legit physical location where the office or you know the business owner lives or whatever, you have to add that address. When you set when you go to claim or create the GMB listing, you have to add the physical address and then wait for a postcard or a card to be delivered via us a mail to that location that has a pin number in it so that you can verify that that physical location that the business really resides at that physical location. So even when you clear the address to make sure that it’s not published, there is still a physical location associated with that GMB and you don’t see that on the GMB dashboard. But for example, I just recently started using local Viking to manage GMB posts and stuff because it integrates with some of my CRM and stuff. So anyway, I’m using that and when you import GMB listings into local Viking, it shows the street address, even if it’s an unpublished street address, and I’ve got a few listings in there that just no street address appears at all, there’s no physical location associated with it. And those are the ones that I’m having trouble getting to appear for proximity searches such as, like near me, keyword phrases, or search queries. And so again, I would recommend it, the spam listings, they can still work, but there are some drawbacks in them that I don’t like about them. Were the P o box way to get one with an actual physical address tends to work. Still, it still works. And I like that one better, except for the fact that you have to physically go to the post office. Does anybody want to comment on that?
Not me. Okay, moving on then.
But yeah, absolutely. That’s I mean, that’s a great way to do it for large, especially business with large service areas, if you can get multiple maps listings, that’s best. Another way to do it, by the way, just quickly, is you can go to Craigslist and post an ad for that I’ve done that I’ve been successful in the past where I’ve posted an ad and in the, you know, in the area that I want, and say, you know, tell them that I’ll pay him 50 bucks to receive a Google postcard. And, you know, tell me when they when they’ve received it and and and and, you know, call me or text me with the pin number inside the card. Most of the time what happens is you’ll find renters that do that instead of people that own homes because they don’t care if somebody registers a business to a rental property like the renters don’t care. The landlord might, but the renters don’t. So I found that I’ve done that in the past several times when it when they when I was trying to get a GMB in an area that I couldn’t that I just wasn’t you know, it wasn’t feasible to drive to and get a PO Box, then I will use Craigslist. So that’s another way to do it. Okay. Moving on.
Is It Possible To Get Wiki Links To An SEO Agency That Offers Other Services And Has A Blog On Non-Marketing Tech Resources?
Next question, given Wikipedia is a negative view of SEO, is it possible to get links from Wikipedia or wiki data to an SEO agency that also offers other services and has a blog with lots of non-marketing tech resources? Sure, but you can also purchase wiki links. Just like we were talking about spam, GMB listings you can buy. We sell [email protected], our store. And they work I mean, occasionally something will get edited out like, but I’ve actually had one recently that was edited out. And then I just submitted a support request, and I got it restored on another Wikipedia page. So you know, you can buy links, say is it possible? Yeah, cuz you can buy them. I don’t know how to do the edits myself, because I’m not a moderator for Wikipedia. But, you know, that’s one way you could do it is to hire, you know, a Wikipedia editor or moderator, I should say, those are generally really, really expensive. So the other way is just to find a service, like what we have in MGYB, where you can buy them there. I don’t know of any other way to get them to you, Marco.
I mean, there are other ways, but you got to pay for them, or you got to get yourself a Wikipedia page. And you have to be eligible, you have to be able to provide all the documentation that Wikipedia requires. That’s the best thing. The best thing is to get yourself a page on Wikipedia. And Dixon Jones is going to explain on Monday, that’s the most important Wikipedia link that you could possibly get that mentioned in Wikipedia. And then from that, I mean, the next best thing is getting a link on the top page and then getting a link on a page referring to another page as long as it’s relevant. Right. You got to maintain that relevance. But yeah, I mean, just go to MGYB to look for it. We offer it.
What Is A Good Way To Get Lots Of Footer Links Without Having Lots Of Clients?
Sweet Suraj is up he says what’s a good way to get lots of footer links without having lots of clients trying to rank in a competitive area for web design and all other competitors dominate with footer links someone’s exact text. So I’m assuming he means exact anchor text exact match anchor text was hacked footers. Yes. stuff I ever saw.
Yeah. Yeah, that’s funny. Do you say that? Because I, when I read this question earlier and asked what I was gonna suggest, was the only other way that I would know how to do it is the safe network. A lot of those links are hacked footer links, and that when I’m What I mean is like, they literally hack other people’s websites, put links in there for you. It’s so blackhat. But um, you know, it can work. I used to use a lot of safe links years ago when I was doing a lot more blackhat stuff. And I guess there’s really no hats. But when I was doing a lot of really spammy, like, you know, dark alley ship, I used a lot of safe links. I don’t do that anymore. But that’s one way to do it. I don’t recommend it. But that is one way to do it. Anyway, you got any suggestions, Margo?
For further length, Now, why? Alright, so here’s the deal. Um, and I’m gonna say this again. And we explained that I’m going to keep referring back to the webinars on Monday, we explain why we do things, the way that we do, why we create the entity, the way we the way that we do, I’m not gonna go through it here. But we become master mimics. We look at the big dogs. We do what the big dogs do, at the part level, at the algorithmic level, at the patent level, that’s how we do it. All right, if you want to learn how, and why make a donation. Go see our footer links the only way to compete or is there something more powerful than I am missing? Yeah, I mean, I, I don’t think I would go out use that strategy. I’m not I don’t think I know I would use that strategy. I would do other things. So the SEO shield? Yeah. Start there. And then there.
How Can You Run Ads For A Client If You Don’t Have Access To Their Website?
Fitz is up. He says, Hey, guys, hope everyone is well. How can you run ads for a client if you don’t have access to their website? Thanks. You don’t need access to some you can run ads to any URL. The problem is conversion tracking and remarketing and all that other stuff, you know, but you can run ads to any URL that you know. I mean, as far as I know, I don’t think if you have if, if you have a URL, you can run ads to it. The question is why, like if you don’t have access to their website, then you’re not going to be able to install, like the conversion link or code conversion tracking. You know, Google Tag Manager remarketing. You know the remarketing tag all of those things that you would need, but you don’t need them. But I would hate to piss money away on Google ads, or ads period if I couldn’t track conversions. And if I couldn’t build a remarketing list from anybody that visited the page or the site,
so I don’t know why you would want to do it without having access to the site. Go ahead.
Yeah, I’m just wondering if maybe it’s one of those where he’s saying he doesn’t have, edit access. But if somebody can, or if you can talk to the client be like, hey, you just need to take these two steps. You need to copy this code, you need to install it, tell them where to do it. Because Yeah, if you’re in that situation, where for whatever reason, you don’t have access, you need to maybe impress upon them the importance of, hey, you need to get this code on there. Otherwise, you’re gonna be losing money. You know, because you can’t retarget you’re not building retargeting lists, you won’t know about conversions.
Yeah, if you have, if you have, you know, if there’s a webmaster or somebody that is maintaining this site that you just don’t have access to yourself, then you can absolutely still do everything because what I would suggest you do at that point would be to set up Tag Manager. And then just contact, whoever’s managing the site. So the webmaster or the business owner, whoever’s managing the site, contact them and send them the container code for Tag Manager, one goes into the header, one goes into the footer, or right before the closing body tag, either one. And it’s just two snippets of code to get added to the site globally, right, so it’s site-wide code, and then you can add and subtract all the tags that you need inside of Tag Manager which you would have access to meaning you can add tags and triggers and all that stuff and then deploy it all through Tag Manager and will automatically update the website from a remote from tag managed from the Tag Manager dashboard. Once the container code is there, you can add or remove tags, remarketing tags, a conversion tracking all of that stuff. Jason, you can add structured data schema.org All kinds of stuff that you can use Tag Manager for. If you don’t have access to managing the site, the webmaster can install Tag Manager and you can use that.
Any other comments?
No, that’s fine. Okay,
Does It Make A Difference If You Already Added The Supporting Documents Prior To Getting The SEO Location Shield?
so the next one is from Landry. Now I get it, I couldn’t figure out how to pronounce your name. So I appreciate you spelling it out phonetically because Hooked on Phonics works for me. So thank you for that. So Lanre says, Hey, Bradley, I noticed you had problems pronouncing my name. It’s pronounced Landry as an rio. So I’ve got it this time. Now, my question is this, I bought my keyword research from you guys. I built my site, I added three categories with content, and five supporting articles per category, I now need to order my SEO location shield to establish my brand. Okay, I’m not sure that you want to order locations, you know, maybe you do, I don’t have the full context of your project. But let’s just assume that the SEO location showed us what you want to order? Does it make any difference? If I already added the supporting documents prior to getting the SEO location showed? I don’t quite understand the question. Does it matter that you’ve started to build out your site with categories and adding depth to the silos? No, it doesn’t matter at all. Because again, I don’t know that the location, I don’t have the full context, I don’t know what you’re doing. But just from this little bit of detail that I have. I don’t know that the location shield is really what you want and the SEO power shield should be for the brand. And then typically, for top-level silos, you want to do the are the expansion stack, right? Dry S Drive expansion, or drive stack expansion, excuse me? Not necessarily location shield. So if you go take a look at the SEO shield, and you take a look at the three different versions, what does it locate starter shield locations to power shield, right? Power shield is going to be for the brand, that’s what we recommend. But then our wireless expansions, which is a separate product in the store, it’s not on the SEO shield page, cry is drive stack expansion. Go in there. That’s what I would recommend that you buy an expansion for each top-level silo. Does that make sense? Does anybody want to comment on this Marco, do you?
Yeah, I mean, don’t look at it like that. Landry. Don’t look at it like that. You’re done with the website, you can continue working with the website. Yeah, you can have dummy content on the website, you shouldn’t. But you at least need that RSS feed. So yeah, you do need some supporting articles or posts. You have that already. Go in order and SEO shall not a location shield. Because you don’t want to pigeonhole yourself into a geographic location. All right, not if your branding, not if your branding, you can do you can take care of the locations through location-driven pages. On the inner part of the G site, in the beginning, you’re just trying to create I’m not gonna say the keyword, yet but it is its brand plus a keyword, relationships, how your brand relates to the keywords in whatever niche It is, it is that you’re in, especially the top-level keywords, we add it, we intersperse it, we go through all of the documents, everything gets filled with keywords, especially if you order our deep keyword research gig, which this is perfect for, it’s perfect for giving you all of the relevance necessary to really carry out a proper the proper content structure of your website will give you suggestions, you know your project better than we could ever hope to know it. So you have to follow what you know, with what our suggestions are. Once you have all that and once you get the SEO show delivered back, especially the G site that the following that as the ad ID and ordering an expansion won’t interfere with the ad ID. So what you see is okay, now I have a top-level category. So I’m going after gold. Now I want to do gold bars. Well, gold bars go on the inside. So let’s say you’re saying you’re in a city already, and you want the adjoining city. So gold bars add joining the city, however, it is that you choose to pursue that well, we build that for you we can build you an interface so that you don’t have to, and an intersect. So you’re expanding the power of your original branded stack, and G site. And the whole point of this is to keep expanding. So you’re adding depth and breadth to that T site and dry stack the same way that you’re doing it on your website as you find categories. And as you use supporting posts to boost that top-level category that you’re trying to rank eventually you should be pushing so much power. And I see this time and again, that even an empty folder is added. This is when true power will you push it to power and you’re building up that PageRank and ranking score. An empty folder will rank for the keyword that you’re assigning it. And it’s incredible when when when this thing happens, or you’ll pop in and like a new location, and a brand new GMB and you see all kinds of action in the GMB. And you’re wondering why? Well, it’s because you iframe it on the G site or you iframe that on your website, or it’s part of a really deep and wide drive second site. And that’s when the power really comes into play. That’s why I tell people, it’s hard work, you cannot expect to rank with one page for gold. It’s not gonna happen, you can’t ever hope to outrank Amazon with one page, and a couple of supporting posts. Not gonna happen. That’s, that’s a trillion-dollar company that you’re going after you can’t do it for a buck 50. All right, so all of this power and all of these things need to continue taking place, you need to do your press releases, you need to do the link building, you need to do the embeds plus link building. And you need to continue broadening your profile throughout the web, making that footprint bigger, wider, relating more profiles one to the other. This is what the big boys do. You see Apple everywhere you see Amazon, everywhere. So that’s what you have to do. And one of the ways that we do it is exactly the way I just described. Now that takes a lot of work. The way that I like to put this is it like people see it. And it’s really simple. I ordered the SEO shield, and then I just produce content. And magic happens. No, it doesn’t. I’ve been online for 18 years. This is 18 years in the making. Bradley has about a decade and I know her Nana’s around there. Chris has so many years and Adam, I think Well, I know. I’ve known him for six, seven years. So he has at least that long online. So you’re getting decade’s worth of thinking of strategizing of putting everything together into what you see as the SEO shoot. But that’s what it’s for. And that’s what you should order not the location shield, but the branded SEO power shield. Yeah.
Yeah, that’s why I just pulled up the pages on the store, just to demonstrate what Marco was talking about. The SEO power shield is what we recommend for the brand. For the main brand, right, and then from that, because it gives you the syndication network, the drive stack with the G site, and then the IDX page. So that’s for the main entity, right the brand itself, and then from there, you go from the store, go click into the Google RYS expansion stacks. And these are the expansion stacks of each top-level silo. Right? So each silo on the site. So top-level category, top-level keyword, you should have an RBS expansion stack. If you’re doing a local business and you’re you have location-based silos, however, you do that, I do it using the tag structure inside of WordPress, then I also order a separate expansion stack for each location, if that makes sense, but I don’t want to confuse you. As I said, if you’re doing it on just topical stuff, then you’d want a separate expansion stack for each one of your top-level silos. You don’t need additional ID pages and then additional g sites, which is what happens when you order location shield. So in fact, I would we would recommend against that.
Okay, so hopefully that clarifies that.
All right, moving on.
Does it make a difference in priority? No, no, it doesn’t, you can just as long as you have, all that you need is you need the web, the URLs, when that you’re going to push, you know uses your main target URL for your drive stack. And then for each one of your expansion stacks you’re going to get, you’re going to have a field that you have to submit your main target URL, it’s going to be one primary target URL per expansion. As long as those URLs are available, like on your site, that’s fine. It doesn’t matter whether there’s content there or anything, to begin with, you can order it with just the URL. The only thing that has to have content is the RSS feed for the SEO power shield order because the syndication network, if it’s an RSS driven syndication network as opposed to YouTube, then it needs the RSS feed has to have so the RSS Feed URL has to contain at least one item it can be the Hello World post for that matter, it doesn’t matter. As long as it has one item in the RSS feed, then they can set up the applets inside IFTTT but that’s it though the rest of the site doesn’t need to look at content on it. If it just has the URLs available in. That’s it. And for anybody watching this at this point watching the replay, enlarge the video so you can get the information about donating to the charity and accessing the webinar.
Do You Have Any Tips In Using Linktree Other Than Hammering It With Backlinks?
Okay, sweet. Let’s keep moving. Jim’s up. What’s up, Jim? He says, Hey, gang, I was curious if you guys have any tips or tricks to apply to link tree? That’s a good site. I just started playing with that a little bit more actually. Other than the usual hammer the shit out of it with backlinks. You can embed it. So yeah, it’s pretty much the same thing that we would always recommend hammer with backlinks. You can also embed link tree itself, the link tree page, which is just a collection of links, right. So that’s just you can also do embeds and backlinks to the embeds. Anything else?
Scorched earth Seo? hammer? I don’t know any other strategy. I don’t understand anything else other than if it can stand it, give it more. And if it takes that much, then try some more. Well, you know what it is man? Just go do the do.
How Would You Silo Structure A Website With Multiple Topics?
Alright, baby, what’s up, man? He says, Hey, guys, a better example for last weekend’s question how Google treat pages that are not related topically to the site, say you are a site about marketing. The silo is about software. Let’s say all the marketing software goes here. But what if we add non-marketing software pages to the silo to that silo-like employment software, or betting software, etc. So the new silo be opened to nonrelated marketing software? No. And in a case like that, BB, I would have subcategories. So I would use a complex silo structure for that type of site because the software would be the parent category, the top-level category, but then you would create subcategories for the different types of software marketing software is a subcategory. What were some of the other one’s employment software being another sub sub category, and then betting software or investing software? Right. forex software, like there’s a, you know, productivity software, like every one of those could be sub-categories. And then you would add supporting articles, which could be reviews of those types of different software in their appropriate subcategory. So in a situation like what you’re describing this time, in which you provided more context, this time than you usually do. So thank you for that, by the way, then then, yeah, I would use a complex silo structure for something like that. And I would add subcategories and appropriately place the articles and supporting articles and such within the correct cat subcategories. That is something that you could do.
Comments?
yeah, treated as a directory for marketing? And how would you build that directory then for marketing related categories and subcategories, and maybe some not so specific categories that do relate to marketing, but not in a direct manner, you could totally do that. Just be careful how far in the weeds you go, because you could end up somewhere totally not relevant to whatever it is that you’re doing. And then in that case, it’s not as if you’d be penalized or anything, it’s just that you’re not going to get any, well, you shouldn’t get any action, because the AI will know that there’s absolutely no relationship between that uncategorized or irrelevant category, and everything else that you’re doing, with the caveat that if you’re pushing enough power, it will rack it just takes monster power to do it.
Yeah. Yeah, and, and actually, you know, that’s, I, I prefer using simple silos as much as possible. But in the situation that you’re describing here, that’s perfect for a complex silo. And you can push a shit ton of power with the complex silo guys if you know how to how to set up your internal linking correctly. Complex silos can push a ton of power to the top-level keyword. So again, you know, you got to map that out before ever starting a complex silo site, spend some time mapping it out, like not just the immediate need, but your future needs as well, because that’s part of the problem with a complex silo structure is it’s real easy to get started and think that you have an idea of what you want your silo structure to look like when you’re starting off and you have, you know, a finite or a limited amount of content and ideas. But as the project grows, you’re probably going to figure like, Oh shit, I should have figured it. I should have structured the site in this way instead. And that’s part of the problem with complex silo structures is their complex just like the name? Just like, that’s why it’s in the name, excuse me. But if you do it correctly, if you map it out, right, then you can I mean, it’s just amazing. And how much power you can push with those. But again, it’s like I remember, that’s part of the reason I like to do those anymore at all is that I would spend literally hours upon hours a day to, you know, a day or two on just mapping out the site before starting the build. And even then even after doing all of that mapping work and trying to decide on how I was going to structure the site, a lot of the times, at some point in the future, I would end up kicking myself for structuring it that way, because I should have done something else, you know what I mean? So I prefer not to do that if needed. But if so, I mean, if that’s the route, that you’re going to go spend some time on the front end, you’ll, you’ll be glad that you did. And yeah, you can push a lot of power that way, for sure.
Well, that’s if you’re building a directory, this complexity in building a directory to start with. So try to keep it simple. And don’t spend hours trying to map out the site, just get to work on it, and try to work it out conceptually, as you go, you’re still gonna run into problems and having to 301 and having to redo your URL structure. But that’s a lot better, man.
Do Semantic Mastery’s Methods Only Work On Google Search Engines?
So the next question is, do your methods work only on Google search engines and YouTube? Or should they should it also work on search engines like Facebook or Pinterest search, etc. I mean, we optimize for Google? Because you know, that’s what 70 or 80% of all search traffic. I can’t speak for Facebook or Pinterest, those algorithms are totally different. But oftentimes, when we optimize for Google, then we end up ranking in Bing and Yahoo because many and Yahoo are one and the same anymore. But it’s only I think, they’ve got a little bit more market share than they used to, but it’s somewhere around 30%, I think. But I don’t optimize for Bing, or, I mean, I just optimize for Google. Because that’s, you know, that’s where the bulk of all traffic comes from. And usually, we end up ranking in Yahoo, and Bing also, comments on that?
Yeah, I mean, we want Google search. That’s what we’re after. In some places in some countries some areas, over 90% of the search market, is in Google. So if you have something that’s search-based, which is totally local business, or whatever, then it just stands to reason that you’re going to focus on Google. Now, if you’re going to go and work on the Pinterest algorithm that you have to learn the Pinterest algorithm. And some of the methods that we teach might not work in Pinterest, but I’m not gonna get into how Pinterest works here works differently. The same thing with Facebook, the Facebook algorithm works differently. It just does. They’re similar. So as the Bing algorithm, they’re all based on the same thing, right, trying to see how they rank for a certain query. At the end of the day, that’s what you’re trying to do. But you have to learn the requirements. So you mentioned Pinterest, and, and Facebook, you’d have to try those people want Amazon, we have to go in and figure that one out. Then Bing, Yahoo. Why when we can get 80 to 90%. In Google, and then the other ones, we can just run ads and get results. Yep,
I agree.
Have You Ever Ranked Something Using Citations Only?
All right. Ah, next question. Have you ever ranked something with citations only and without links? Let’s, let’s say you have a non-local site, say e-commerce does brand citations without backlinks. Will that work? First of all, I don’t know because all I do is local stuff. I’ve ranked local stuff with just citations like a local business directory or business directory citations like structured citations. Sometimes they’ll contain links, oftentimes, they’ll contain links. It’s been a long time since I’ve tried to rank any local business project with just citations. It’s probably possible still, but citations are just a part of an overall picture. Now that’s talking about, like, structured citations like business directory listings for local type business sites. I think what you’re talking about is like co-citation, right? where somebody is talking or a citation, I guess, in a broader sense, can be just a brand mention, right?
I’ve never tried that. I don’t know why you would mean, I’ve never tried it. So I can’t answer that. Can you know, because the citation is a backlink? So I don’t get it. I don’t get the question to start with. And let’s, let’s see, let’s say you have a non-local site. That’s e-commerce does do brand citations without backlinks work, or will they work? I have no clue because that’s not how we do. We actually use citations as part of the entity. It’s all part of entity-based. worry less SEO, especially local, like the broader you go The less necessary they can put your branded citations if you can get them in the big ones in the data aggregators, as a matter of fact, work really well because they’re links. They’re places where Google goes to see the data to pull data, but it. Alright, so this question I’m not gonna pick on you, I’m just saying is missing the point of the ranking score and PageRank algorithm, and of every other algorithm, because Google has to go through a link somewhere to get to the server, wherever this branded or number, enter the citation or wherever this other thing is, without that link, there’s absolutely no way that Google can go from one server to the other, it’s not magic, Google cannot teleport, it can’t jump into another server, right? It’s a, it’s HTTP or HTTPS. That’s the protocol. As well, there has to be something that connects them that connect, now you what you’re talking about. And, again, I’m gonna go back to our webinar Monday, it was killer, you have two nodes, is what you’re talking about. One is your brand, whatever. And you have another note somewhere that mentioned your brand, Google has to get that get to that, each of those and relate them some way. And the way it does that is through links. So the more links that are connected to your e-commerce site, and to wherever that brand citation is, right, the more power it will have, because that Google can start creating the relationship for the distance graph algorithm with again, I’m not going to get into any of that. What I’m just saying is, you need to start conceiving in this another way, because the things that you’re asking are a little bit conceptually off on this. I’m reading this incorrectly, in which case I’d like you to explain what it is that you mean, you did a really good job on the other one of explaining what it was. Yeah.
Yeah, I agree. So I said I was more contents context in that last question than what we’re used to from BB. So. Okay, so the next question is from is not really a question, as Jim says, He says, but rather a wiki experience, I have a site that has six wikilinks pointing to it from different or two different articles. I didn’t pay for them, they were added in a natural manner. So organic links. That’s awesome.
Those quotes, I’d like to know what those natural means is it’s in quotes. Well, that’s true. That’s true. But I think he means that it’s just he’s got good content, and somebody, you know, linked to it naturally from an article. That’s how I interpreted but you’re right, since it’s in quotes, it might be. Anyway, those links are very powerful. And I highly recommend trying to get one through whatever means necessary pro tip have the best, most thorough, most documented article on a subject and then cross your fingers. You know, that’s a great point, Jim, because here’s the thing. You can purchase wiki links, right? Like, we just talked about that from, or links from Wikipedia or links, you can get a link on Wikipedia by buying it from our service. But don’t just link to like something that, you know, if I recommend that you are linking to something that has some well-written content, not just like, you know, a spammy page or something like that on the site. I mean, you can try to get away with that. But the problem with that is it it’s likely going to get moderated out at some time. Like even if your link gets placed. At some point, somebody’s probably going to discover that it’s linking to something if it’s not linking to something that is resourceful, right? That is a resource that is relevant to the page that the Wikipedia that Wikipedia is linking from, then it’s going to end up being moderated out at some point, it’s almost guaranteed it’s just a matter of time. So I recommend that if you are going to buy Wikipedia links that you do link to a piece of content on the site that you’re linking to that is relevant, and has some useful information on there. Right. So that it’s less likely to get moderated out at some later date by some other Wikipedia moderator. Okay.
Comments, good?
No, no, I mean, fantastic if you can get them and I saw that later on. He said, organic. That’s fantastic. You can get organic links if you can become the source or a source for that Wikipedia page. That’s fantastic. Because now that now you have a relationship to that seed site. I’m going to talk seed sites and seed sets are I don’t want to confuse all y'all up. But that’s what happened. You related to trust to trusted and authoritative sources. Thereby you become a trusted and authoritative source. Which is why it’s working so well.
Adam, you on, you turn your camera on. So I’m assuming you got something to say?
Unknown Speaker 55:08 No, it was let’s say I’m going to reach out to Jim, I want to ask him a question because he’s had some interesting comments over the last couple of weeks. So talking about AI stuff. And then now with organic Wikipedia links, so Jim, I’m gonna track you down, are you if you can find me, so shoot me a message. But yeah, I just actually had a note on the kind of the last, or sorry, the last question of the day here.
Thoughts On The AWS Email About Allowing Public Access
Okay, cool. So, Jay says Amazon AWS sent out an email warning about allowing public access to an s3 bucket. Yeah, I’ve gotten dozens of those emails. Yeah, the wording was such that it sounds like they’re removing public access. And if you are in disagreement with that, I don’t think that’s the case. That’s not the way I read it. Yeah. And
I just pulled it up to double-check just did a quick read through. And they don’t say that they just say that. You should have some buckets configured that way, that may not be what you intended. So we suggest you fix it. And then, you know, talk to us if you have a question, but it doesn’t say that we’re gonna change it or anything like that.
Yeah. Thank you, Adam. Because that’s when I read his question. Or when I read this question, I thought about that. I was like, you know, I better go back and reread, because I mean, I’ve gotten dozens and dozens of those emails. And I’ve read through them a couple of times. And the way that I interpreted it was what Adam just said was, like, it’s telling you like, Hey, you probably didn’t mean for the bucket to have public access. But if you did, it’s not recommended. But I didn’t see anywhere where it said they were going to revert them to protect. A lot of problems.
Yeah, the only thing is one line. If you have a business need to maintain some level of public access, please see an overview of managing access, and they give references for more in-depth instructions on managing just to make sure you’ve done the correct level of access. Yeah.
Yeah, when I set up my buckets, I set them up to where objects can be public. But the folder itself, or the bucket itself isn’t entirely public, it just allows for individual items to be made public. That’s the way that I set up all my buckets so that I can pick and choose whether I want them to be public at the time that I upload the files. So hopefully, that makes sense. we’re about out of time, Jim says sorry, natural and organic. Yeah, we saw that. Thank you. Jim, by the way, reached out to Adam BB says I mean, so this is a guest clarification for his previous question. He says, I mean, you have an e-commerce site for dog food named SM doggy will a mentioned citation that way mentioned or a citation of that, and other sites will promote the site without a backlink? Again, I don’t know. I mean, for local businesses, having the name, address, and phone number published online, even without a backlink count as a citation, which is like a vote of confidence, right? It’s just because what is it doing? It’s just validating entity information. Does that make sense? That’s why it’s so important to have a name, address and phone number always published exactly the same. Because even having punctuation different or using the ampersand sign instead of A and D, or something like that, right are sometimes having IMC or LLC at the end. And other times not all of them. If you have variations of the name, address, and phone number published even with no backlink, then that can start to ambiguous. The data, right and that’s why local businesses have published mention of the name, address, and phone number, even without a backlink does count as a citation and can help to rank now, can it be can you purely rank on that? I don’t know. I’ve never tried it. But when you’re talking about that type of citation for a nonlocal site like an e-commerce site? I have zero experience with any of that whatsoever. I can’t imagine that it would but I can’t say whether it does or not. Because I’ve never done anything like that. comments.
It creates co-occurrence. It is a no co-citation or a citation. If it’s the full local citation, right? Name, Address phone number, the NA p other than that I don’t know I’d like depends on the competition. If there’s no competition, I see where it just mentioned, of your site on powerful sites would make a difference. But if like, like most places, that the competition is fierce, then no, you’re not going to get away with something like that.
Yeah, and I think it’s kind of interesting to backing this up a level away from purely the SEO benefit and saying, Well, if your name let’s say the SM dog food brand is mentioned on Huffington Post, like yeah, you know what, I bet Our website is gonna see some increased traffic and it’s not a direct link, right. It’s just by getting out there and building the brand. You know, that’s kind of what’s happening there as to how I see it without getting into the technical side.
Yeah. And you know, actually, just to follow up, Adam, that’s a really good point. And I know this to be true, because when I started my land investment, my land flipping business, I experienced it firsthand. And that is if you can get a name published online, right, and somebody but it’s not a backlink, but somebody reads the name and they’re curious, they’ll go Google that. And then it pulls up the brand. And then they click through that’s a navigational or brand search query, that then a click through. So that’s a huge SEO signal, when somebody reads a name, brand name somewhere and then goes in Google searches and then clicks through that’s a fantastic SEO signal. And I experienced that with alpha land Realty, my business, my real estate business because when I first started, I was just running ads, I didn’t do any SEO at all, nothing, I just have a single and it’s still to this day, just have a single landing page on click funnels. For you know, for that business, basically. And all I started I was sending I was running Google ads to that but no SEO and then I started sending a direct mail out to property owners with my brand name Alfa land realty on it. And what happened was I started seeing alpha land realty ranked number one for even like, my keywords like sell land fast Virginia and things like that. And I couldn’t figure out why because I hadn’t done any SEO work whatsoever. And then I started digging into it. And I realized that people were doing navigational search queries because they would get letters from me direct mail letters from me that would state you know, hey, alpha land realty wants to buy your property, if you’re interested, go here, blah, blah, blah. And they would go to Google and search alpha land Realty and then click through and because of that, I started to rank in a matter of like three weeks with zero SEO work. And it was because of those brand searches, which is why we talked about engagement signals are absolutely critical, are super powerful. You want to comment on that, guys before we wrap it up?
Yeah, I think that’s good.
Okay, thanks, everybody for being here. We’ll see you guys next week. See ya.

We got had 17 computerized internet marketers think about in to tell us what they see around the horizon, so we can all program consequently where you can fantastic 12 months ofengagement and clicks, and conversion rates.
Here are 17 prophecies for electronic digital advertising and marketing in 2020.
Benton Crane, CEO of Harmon Siblings
Ad programs (considering you Facebook or myspace) continue to stress shorter content (obviously, they would like to offer a lot more perceptions). Brief-type, nevertheless, limitations what you can do to develop your company personality, voice, and world.
We foresee the succeeding method is to play marketing chess, not checkers. In chess your pieces have diverse weaknesses and strengths, whereas all checkers parts are the same. Whenever you develop your web marketing strategy use a mixture of short, method, and lengthy-develop articles. Use the short-form content to appease Facebook’s algorithms, but don’t stop building your brand character, voice, and universe with longer-form content.
Logan Fletcher, Content material Advertising Manager
If you aren’t posting videos on social media, 2020 NEEDS to be the year you start, otherwise, you’ll get left behind, Succeed Through Online Marketing -.
Over and above that, we foresee an increased existence of organizations on social media marketing, since they consider to make a technique which will help them get an edge on opponents. Video on interpersonal systems will probably continue to be with the fore-top of productive strategies.
Not only are B2B companies going to focus on creating video for LinkedIn, but they will also start to take notice of IGTV. With updates to Instagram’s algorithm formula, video submitted on IGTV will proceed to the surface of your followers’ rss feeds, in addition to be discovered much more prevalently on users’ investigate webpages. This is going to lead to a lot more online video leads, a more substantial audience, and a lot more advantages.
What in addition will we notice in 2020? We think that internet marketers will begin paying attention much more about consumer requires, as an alternative to “marketing demands.” Online marketers begins resolving customers’ queries immediately that will create promotions that response these concerns. The only people that actually issue would be the individuals who we want using our goods and services. Refocusing what is delivered to customers might be a trend in 2020 that numerous organizations won’t be able to ignore.
Michelle Barnum Smith, AMZ Messenger Bot Membership
The Amazon . com marketplace is consistently in flux. There are far more private content label retailers now than ever before and the industry will become a lot more competitive. To stay in the video game, dealers really need to be resilient and versatile.
Probably the most crucial approaches to get used to is to experience a manufacturer-way of thinking. A brand isn’t pretty much appearing having a individual product or service-it’s about developing a local community of enthusiastic buyers. The easiest and best approach to commence is using driving your personal additional traffic using Chitchat Marketing strategies by way of ManyChat.
ManyChat helps make chitchat advertising an omni-route experience. Now sellers can run multichannel activities through one particular instrument and get to their audience in the most efficient techniques feasible. Chat marketing will unquestionably make market constructing, item launching, and product or service marketing seamless for Amazon online Retailers.
Tara Robertson, Director of Client Advertising at Sprout Sociable
2020 is all about refinement. Manufacturers not only need to give attention to who they really are but more importantly, the way that they differ from rivals and make impressive experience for his or her buyers. In in advance, entrepreneurs will emphasis much more on becoming client obsessed by making sure every touchpoint is regular and deliberate. Providing outstanding customer encounters has stopped being a “nice to get,” but an expectation-particularly as organizations make an effort to stand out inside their saturated trading markets.
To that particular finish, you will see an increased need for articles and experiences that mementos quality more than volume. We are living in the age of genuine advertising as well as the more pertinent and relatable your marketing is, the better devoted your audience will end up. It is not simply in regards to the new system, innovative AI, or a robust technology stack. In reality, I just think it will probably be the opposite.
We should lower your expenses time considering our automation plus more time thinking about the way we can interact with our consumers and each and every other. We expect much more personalization than in the past as buyers and it’s vital that marketing and sales groups comprehend this and the significance of connection.
Jenna Snavely, Generation Information Supervisor at DigitalMarketer
I talk to a lot of experts in the industry, as host of The DigitalMarketer Podcast. From all of my podcast job interviews across the the very least season, the marketplace trends we have been watching carefully at DM, and my very own acquiring habits-I feel the easiest way to catch back in 2020 (or make your direct) will probably be serialized consumable video clip content.
It is a tremendous chance to establish your brand sound and make viewers, and the majority of importantly…it’s a means to more than-deliver.
Brands who do the hard work, get the payout.
Nathalie Lussier, Founder of AccessAlly
Succeed Through Online Marketing - In 2020, I anticipate that more people will carry on and “cut the cord” from cable and go on to internet streaming alternatives for their entertainment. It is calculated that 45 million grownups will depart their cable television or satellite companies in 2020.
Exactly what does that have to do with computerized advertising and marketing?
It implies that as attention shifts clear of traditional Television marketing, more promoters must get creative and locate strategies to attain men and women on-line rather.
That is each a true blessing and a curse: It’s going to raise the cost of advertising on the hottest platforms like Facebook, YouTube, and Google, although it’s going to create more work for digital agencies.
Brands is probably not shifting a bunch of their bucks to “pay for every click” advertising, they could also up their content advertising and marketing financial budgets in an effort to happen in societal reveals and interactions, as well! Content material advertising organizations, keep in mind!
Splintering Neighborhood Systems
For organizations who would like to boost their communities on-line (and who doesn’t? ) there’s an intensifying need to take acquisition of local community place.
For many years a good place to number a community has become through Fb teams. There’s plenty of engagement and growth on Facebook or twitter, due to an presently a built-in habit (or is it an addiction? !).
The tech giant has experienced some political and ethical backlash and more digital business owners are looking for alternatives, however.
I forecast that systems which allow you to make local community “on your own turf” like Palapa, Mighty Systems, BuddyBoss, and Wordpress blogs are likely to see a great deal of expansion.
Those that have failed and tried say the the vortex is strong… and engagement isn’t as high, as much as I see people building these networks outside of the Facebook ecosystem.
So there will likely be a splintering of communities across different platforms, and I suspect also a consolidation for those groups that don’t get enough traction off Facebook when they return.
Intensifying Polarization And Woke Marketing and advertising
So will the political polarization in 2020, as the planet’s climate continues to heat up.
Brands could have a decision to create: continue to be natural or possess a point of view.
The firms that remain higher than the fray will steer clear of the drama and also the volatility that is included with entering the conversation on everyone’s thoughts.
But all those organizations that can genuinely talk about their standpoint, will acquire lasting commitment for being prepared to place their beliefs more than short-term income. According to Cone Communications, 92% of consumers say they have a more positive image of a company when the company supports a social or environmental issue.
Yes, you will see drop out from businesses that engage in “woke marketing” and mixture activism or politics into their information.
My prediction is that more businesses will be willing to put their reputations on the line to connect with Gen Z and Millennials who are more discerning about where they spend their hard earned dollars… and how it impacts the world at large.
Rachel Pedersen, Chief executive officer from the Popular Contact & Social Media Marketing United
2020 is definitely the calendar year the facade of flawlessly shiny marketing crashes and burns. Too many people happen to be burned by influencers faking it with ideal photoshoots, and individuals are eager for genuineness.
As consumers get hungry for REAL answers, they will be looking for context outside of keynotes. They’re looking for signs and symptoms of congruency - confirmation that their favored individuals on websites are in reality wandering the walk.
In 2020 the marketer who supplies all-entry, behind the curtain, contextual marketing wins. It’s the year of humanized marketing.
Right here is how you can defeat the bandwagon marketers in 2020:
1.Tik. Tok: The time is ticking. TikTok can be a exceptional program that reveals a lot more measurements and will allow viewers to fall in love with your impromptu, creative and unpolished or UCG information.
2.Go are living. Anyplace. Display the turmoil to getting all set on an occasion with 3 youngsters once your child provides the influenza along with your very last clean clothing was *coughing* messed up.
3.Report your podcast in real life conditions. Allow your market to Sense your surroundings and life throughout the audio.
4.Decrease Photoshop. So you have a scar on your eyebrow? The vacation having magically included an additional 15 kilos on the photographs? Permit it to be. Let them see.
5.Online video informs all. Customers are searching for contextual signs in your video marketing. They want over a perfect set and set of scripts. They need to see who you really are. Provide them with a lot more to work with.
6.Inform the facts. So 2019 was a hard year? Inform them. And do not just brush it well with all the normal ‘Oh man, it had been a difficult season! ’ Tell them what gone improper. Tell them the way your cardiovascular system broke. Inform them about the night once you virtually stop. Let them know in regards to the faults that almost damaged you. Just inform them the truth.
Jody Milward, Founding father of Interpersonal Charlie
A game title changer for Instructors and Electronic digital course inventors going into 2020 will be to include a Self Liquidating Offer you (SLO) at the front end end of their Facebook Promoting. Because with the rising costs of Facebook ads, these offers weren’t profitable, over the years coaches have been told to drop the low ticket offers and focus entirely on High ticket sales.
But that’s The reason why they must be element of product or service collection in 2020. We are seeing individuals creating 6 statistics in under a season having a $27 supply. For instance, Allie Bjerk, runs Facebook or twitter ads to chilly website traffic on her behalf SLO by using a $27 provide. This has created nearly $500,000 in 9 several weeks by having an all round 2.4 by ROAS. So not only is she generating covering and leads her ad spend, she’s also making money. Then when she publicized her higher solution offer you she had a high quality viewers of buyers and of the people who signed up with, 70Per cent experienced purchased her $27 offer.
Then there is Ashley who may have an SLO for Freelance writers and it is addressing her advert commit as she expands her email list. Engaged community and her SLO was a major contributor to the success of her five figure program launch, by having people come into her community via a paid offer she’s seeing significant growth in her Facebook Group with a lively.

That not good, man. Good. I’m good. I’m just enjoying Marcos Boca Juniors shirt. That’s pretty cool. So he’s represented and I’m good man. I’m good. I’m pretty good.
Yeah, I mean as long as the gym doesn’t close I’ll keep them going so up until you know when I stopped sending you pictures because they close so that was good and everyone is about her knowledge is being saved he’s got a face mask doing all that they got people spread out so it’s good to see but yeah, man That’s impressive. You’ve been able to keep up your routine for most of this time so good Anya
Bradley last but not least, how you doing today? Good man happy to be here busy as all can be. Which is a good start to this year so got a lot of stuff cooking. anxious to share it but I can’t just yet but it’s coming so we’ll talk about that when it’s ready. So on the personal side I know it’s cold you know in Virginia this time of year but you get out you like getting out in the mountains doing the the ATV stuff Have you been able to do any of that or is it kind of downtime for that? You well I get it for the New Year’s weekend for a long weekend went and rode then but yeah, it’s it’s definitely slower this time of year but don’t do as much riding it’s more about maintenance on the machines rebuilding and all that kind of stuff. So but I mean, I try to ride when I can but it’s not it’s not as fun when it’s stupid cold. That’s for sure. So yeah, so probably be another four or five weeks before I go on another ride. You get upgraded to snowmobiles to know and all that well 90% of people I ride with all right and those side by sides which are like these little cars, right like the buggies that have enclosures roll cages, a lot of them have heaters and they have stereos and all this shit. Not me I ride a quad a sport quad four wheelers, like two wheel drive. And I don’t want any of that shit. They all try to talk me into buying those side by sides. And I’m not interested in that i like i like the actual at the sport ATV. So well, this might be a little bit too much in the personal stories, but it reminds me I moved to upstate New York. I’ve never been in a place where you get snow that long. And we moved there when there wasn’t snow. And we were like walking along and are driving along and you’d see little stop signs there like this big. And they’d be like a waist height. They’re like here and I’m like, What in the hell is the one crossing? Yeah, like who’s driving here and that? Yeah, I had to wait till winter. I felt stupid. I didn’t want to ask him and then I was like, ah, I get it. Yeah, it’s a snowmobile trail.
All right. Well, Marco, like I said full circle. If you can let people know what’s going on with the webinars, the charity, how things are going with that. Can you do that now?
Well, I’m getting them set up.
We’ve had some people shuffle around, but I am planning to start them on January 25. Regardless whether people are are on on schedule or not, because we just have so much information to give
What’s working? I don’t know how much I usually give away the farm. Because I’m using I mean, I told you guys yesterday how I’m using a certain thing for SEO, not just for what everyone else is using it for and and to get fantastic results. Just everywhere. It’s a great SEO target people and and a link building tool as a matter of fact, when people don’t don’t see it that way, and I don’t understand why we’re supposed to be SEO, we’re supposed to be scientists, and we’re supposed to be investigating. And we, when we’re at this point, at the technical point, we’re supposed to be able to understand how things work and why.
And so when you do that, you say, oh, okay, so if this is this way, then I can do all of the things here. And I can push it. So now you understand where it where you’re concentrating the power and how it concentrates that you can push it. But the underlying power behind all this is when you give people the correct brand, the correct entity, you make all of the associations of everything that’s about your brand on the web. And it’s like it’s like a Christmas tree. It just lights up. Rob did a fantastic job in a webinar. Oh, no, sorry, po foo live, of explaining why. And he showed it. He showed Google and he showed what it is that we do. And he made the comparison, which I wasn’t expecting him to go that far. But it was it’s amazing to see how much we just mimic what’s going on how much we mimic these, these?
What would we call them agric aggregated data, points on all these nodes on the web? And how it is that we can then give Google what Google is looking for, which is what is your entity about? What is your your thing on the web? What is this thing about? Please tell me more because I need to know. And the more that you tell Google, the more that you get rewarded, so we’re going to go deep into that is going to be five or six different webinars, hour and a half. And the questions and answers and Rob will be there. Jordan’s gonna be there. Ah, Dixon, Jones of inlinks is going to be there confirm. As we did, we just we just got fantastic people coming to tell you how even unstructured data can be in a way structured so that it works for the bot. So it’s just a fantastic concept of one unstructured unstructured data, working with your, with your structured data in a way so that everything comes together. And if I confused you a bit, I understand, because these are like like heavy concepts. But we’re gonna try to break it down during the webinars. So look for it, I’ll go ahead and post the donation page. On the on the events page, guys, all you have to do is go and donate send an email to the email address that I’ll give you, and you’ll be put on the list you will be notified of when the first webinar is it’ll be on the 25th probably 5pm. Eastern, don’t hold me to that. Probably. Okay. So there you go. Donate whatever you can. Yeah, if you’re on the replay, go to semantic mastery comm HD questions, if you’re watching this on YouTube, and you can see the questions there. And you’ll be able to see the links Marco has and what exactly to do. And if you guys have any confusion at all about this, just send an email to support at semantic mastery comm we’ll get you sorted out.
Cool. All right, well, first things first, if you’re new to Semantic Mastery new to MGYB, you’re in the right place that we appreciate you watching and just want to say that one of the first things you should do is head over to the SEO shield comm you can find out how to shield your site, you don’t have to worry about algorithm updates again, and it’s free training. Get started there, you’ll hear his talking about the SEO shield. So if nothing else, it’s worthwhile to figure out what’s going on there. I know a lot of you already know but occasionally we get people each week showing up that are new and haven’t heard of it. That’s a great place to get started. Next up for that if you want repeatable processes for your SEO and getting results, pick up the battle plan and you get that at battle plan dot semantic mastery.com. After that, we also hear a lot from agency owners or consultants. If you want to get more clients, you want to grow your revenue you want to scale your team the answer to those should probably be Yes, depending on where you’re at. So that you can work less and earn more than head over to to x your agency.com. All right, we got a lot more information there for you. And last but certainly not least, if you’re ready to grow your digital marketing business, then you want to join an experienced community. All right, and that is what the mastermind is all about. And there’s more information at mastermind dot semantic mastery.com and I said last but not least, but I guess I kind of slipped up there because I’ve mentioned the SEO shield. If you want to get an SEO shield if you want to get links, you want to get press releases, you want to get all this good stuff. You
Find out more at mg y b.co. And that is the done for you services with all that good stuff I just mentioned.
So with that said, you guys, any other announcements before we dive into the questions?
Let’s do it.
All right, let me grab the screen.
You guys are seeing it now. Correct? Yeah, yes. Yep.
All right. So I pulled this up, because this was a blog post on majestic. The majestic blog that Rob shared back in December, they posted it, they published it December 15. But this is about the link graph. That majestic now has this tool that shows this is what Marco was talking about, guys, this is what we optimize for. When we do entity based SEO, it’s to it’s to mimic or to to build this sort of a structure. That makes sense. So that’s what that’s what Marco was just now talking about. In the opening was about how we do it, we build all these nodes. And that’s why we always talk about increasing your entity expanding your entity footprint, right? The footprint is always in the SEO world, people always think footprint is a bad thing. But when it comes to Semantic Web, it’s not when you’re when you’re talking about reinforcing and validating the entity, which is a really, really good blog post, by the way, I pasted this link in the chat box, guys. So you can scroll down and find it and click through, spend some time reading through this. It’s pretty cool. And it will hopefully shed some light on what it is that we’re actually doing when we do what we do. So Mark, do you want to comment on that before I move on? Because, you know, they focus on trust flow and citation flow, which is nothing about nothing? That’s their interpretation of an algorithm or how they place value on links, which to me, it just makes absolutely no sense unless you have a really powerful website, in which case, yeah, I do go use their, to their software to see, yeah, that the way that so all of those red dots on there are nodes. On the web, the lines are, of course, the connections between those nodes. And if you think of this in this space that we call the World Wide Web Wide Web, which is simply servers, you know, those red nodes, can can be servers, or they can be within the servers node within nodes within the service. But the only way that Google can get to those are through links. That’s why this is called a link. Graph. Those lines are representations of what the links are between those nodes. Otherwise, what you’re seeing is is a, what do you call it an ad ID, which is an identifier for the node, you name, the node. So this works two ways, because you can identify the node for Google in code. And then you can show what the relationship is between those links not only between those nodes, not only through the link, but through code. And you can tell Google, through code exactly how these links and how all of these nodes relate to one another within your link graph within your entity, and then I’ll call it within your entity link graph. Because it’s going to be everything that’s related to your entity rather than everything that’s on the web, which I think is what the representation is here.
Very cool. Well, thank you, Marco. So we’ll get into questions now.
Why Would You Use WordPress Tags When The Categories Mainly Serve A Similar Purpose?
All right, so the first question looks like for Blake SEO from a week ago, he says, what do you do with WordPress tags and why would you use them when categories mainly serve a very similar purpose? I’m not going to spend a whole lot of time talking about this, because I’ve gone into a lot of detail in our process doc, which if you go to semanticmastery.com/process, go to the website section. And you’ll see where how I use tags to create location based silos. Again, I’m not going to go into detail into that right now, guys, because if you want to learn what I’m talking about, or know more about what I’m talking about, just go to semanticmastery.com/process, click on the website tab, and then go through the training there. And I talked about how I, you know, I want when I’m building local based sites, right, which is all I do anymore. Well, I say that now. I’m working on something now that’s a national site. But anyway, almost everything I do are local, locally based sites, right. And so for that, I use categories for the topical silos, which is the traditional silo structure, right? The traditional taxonomy and WordPress that we use for solid structure using categories. But then for location based silos. I use tags now because you can do some really cool and creative things with tags that you can’t get. You can’t do with categories.
And it also resolves some conflicts that occur when you try to share subcategories between categories. Right. And again, I talked about all of that in semantic mastery, comm slash process, it’s free, you guys can go check that out. And you’ll see when I talk about it on a very high conceptual level, because if you want more mechanics on a more technical level of it, of that process, you have to join either semantic mastery mastermind or the heavy hitter club. So, but again, it’s on a conceptual level, kind of like a high level overview of why I use tags the way that I use to create location based silos. It it works really, really well. I’ve been doing that for the last two or three years. And then Jeffrey Smith, right. Seo ultimate training goes he goes in depth about tags also. Yeah, and especially semantic tags, and the semantic relationships between the tags. And those, again, are nodes. And how you connect those nodes. Guys, it’s all about.
Alright, so the recurring theme here is going to be links and how those those links function with one another to create all of these relevant semantic relationships.
Yeah.
How Do You Create Ads For Two Spam GMB Listings While Avoiding Suspension From Google?
Okay, so rocket blasters up he says, last Hump Day Hangout, I asked if you can do Google Ads with spam listings, but I guess what I meant to ask was, how do you do it? Because I put my credit card on two accounts in my Google ads were suspended because Google can tell I was using my card for two different listings? Well, first of all, I have my credit card across several Google accounts, I’ve never had that problem. I don’t know why some people have that problem. I’ve never had that problem. Maybe (knock on wood) I’ve been lucky. But I’ve got my credit card associated with multiple Google accounts, both on the G Suite or Google workspaces level, but also on Google ads, a couple, maybe three different ads accounts. And so I’ve never had that issue. So I don’t know what the problem is with that. But I’ve heard other people say that too. So I’m not doubting you there. My question to you though, is why would you set up separate Google Ads accounts, why not just add a manager account and use your primary Google Ads account to serve ads to your even your spammed listings is my point, if you set yourself up as a manager where you connect the GMB to your Google Ads account. Whatever your primary ads account is, then you can still run ads through your primary account, even to spammed listings, which is what I do. That’s how I do everything. I have one primary Google Ads account. I manage several clients accounts as well. But that’s different. I’m talking about, I run, even for all of the projects that I work on for my own business.
I do it all underneath one primary Google Ads account, I have a couple other smaller accounts that I’ve done some stuff with, but they were more or less test accounts. But so again, if I’ve got it set, like because, and I’ve said this before, but for a lot of clients, I run ads through my account, and I just charge them a flat fee. Like, for example, for YouTube ads, when I run YouTube ads for clients, depending on what the campaign structure is, if it’s just a branding ad, which I was doing that for several years, just doing YouTube branding ads for clients, I would charge them $300 a month to run the ads. And that would pay for the ad spend plus my management fees, because I could get away with setting up ad campaigns for, you know, $2 or $3 a day. So 60 bucks to 90 bucks per month is what I would use out of that $300 a month that they were paying me but I would manage it all through my own Google Ads account. That way, it was just easier, is more efficient for me to manage all from one account then for me to constantly be logging in to other Google, you know, Google Ads accounts.
So I run everything through my own account. And you can do that again. For example, if I was let’s say I was running Google ads in the through my own account for a client, what I would do is I would connect the GMB from my client to my Google Ads account, you can link accounts that way. Okay, it’s very simple to do. You can do it from the GMB dashboard, by the way, and then I would link the accounts and then I would run ads from you know, YouTube ads where the link might be clicking the click right to target URL for the ad would link back to their GMB website or their Google Maps listing or their you know, their website or a specific landing page, whatever, whatever it is that I’m driving traffic to, which could be multiple targets. But it’s all done through my account that way. Again, if I’ve got a client where they’re, you know, they’re funding the ad account, and I’m just acting as a manager and they’re just paying the management fees, then I log into their account. That makes sense. So
rocket blasts are what I would suggest doing is running ads through one account that you have and that will become your master account. And here’s another reason for that. Because you guys know, if you’re not spending a certain threshold of money per month with Google ads, you have limit, they limit the data that they share with you in that Google Ads account. So why not have one account that you’ve aged that you have consistent spend with? And that just makes it a more, you know, a better account for you to manage? That would be my suggestion. Anybody else? Yeah. I mean, I’ve heard people mention that they’ve gotten it suspended for using the same the same credit card, right across multiple accounts. That’s why you don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Either you do it the way that you do, or you do it the way that I do, which is just get a whole bunch of credit cards, and open a whole bunch of different accounts to run a whole bunch of different ads. So all of your eggs aren’t in one basket. I also know that you can get the virtual cards, right? Yeah, well, you can, you can create an endless amount of numbers through that virtual cart. The problem is that if your main card ever gets rejected, then all of the numbers related to that card, are also going to get rejected, then everything comes down. Again, putting all your eggs in one basket, you just have to be sure that it’s something that you keep an eye on, when it’s going to expire, you always keep it fully funded. You never miss any payments, you know, I mean, do you really have to be careful? Because I know someone that got that got tagged. He was using the virtual card with with virtual numbers. And I mean, literally dozens and dozens of numbers and everything came crashing down.
Can You Build Backlinks To Different Press Release URLs?
Okay, so rocket blaster says one more question. I received my press release. And in the Excel file was a list of URLs, can I build backlinks to those different press release URLs that came in the Excel file? Yeah, you can there’s only one thing that I would suggest, why not? Why Why not to do that? Which would be because some press release, you know, publication points, right? The they purge, oh, you know, 90 days, six months, whatever it may be.
So if you’re building links to press release URLs, that in 90 days, or 180 days, or whatever the threshold is the timeframe is that they purge, then when that when that platform deletes that press release from from the site, then you’ve just lost all that link building that you’ve done to that particular URL? It’s not that you can’t do it, you can, you absolutely can, you know, if you’re in a regular cycle of link building, and press release publishing, then it’s okay. Because you’re it’s it’s natural, looking to have links, you know, build links to a tier one link, and then the tier one link disappears. And it’s kind of natural cycling lifecycle of links, so to speak. But a better way, in my opinion, would be to, if you’ve got a drive stack, which you should you’ve been coming here and asking us questions, for weeks. So you should have a drive stack. Now, an SEO shield with a drive stack. Why not take that Excel file and upload it as a Google Sheet into one of your public drive stack folders, the appropriate folder, if you’ve done your theme mirroring, and your silo expansion stacks and everything, so put it in the appropriate folder, make it will be a public sheet at that point, and then you can build backlinks to that public sheet URL. Or you can publish that Google Sheet and get the embed code and do embed gigs from MGYB and link building to the embeds. Right. And that’s another way to do it. And the reason why I say that is because now you’re building links to all of the links in that Excel file, which was all the press release URLs. But you can also update that with additional press release URLs from you know, that you have published by just copying and pasting them into that same sheet. So in other words, you can power up that one sheet. And you can continue to power up that sheet. And you can just continue to add to that sheet as opposed to having if you build links directly to the press release URLs, and then they purge, you’ve lost that link building. Does that make sense? Mark, do you want to comment on that? Yeah, you know, I just submit the PDF.
To Dadea, I just give it. I just give him that I just give him the list of links, and I’m hammered. And then it goes in a cycle. And if they if they go, you know, off the active index, then so be it. Because it like, as you said, yeah, it is natural for stuff to fall off. So you shouldn’t just be link building to things that are always index. If you’re going to hit everything that did they just go ahead and hit it or if you’re going to do link building, hit everything. And if it falls off, well, so be it. Yeah, you did. You did lose that but you’re still powering up everything else. And by all means, include that PDF and that spreadsheet from from those links, excuse me from those press releases in the drive stack, include those so that every time you link build into your drive stack into the G site, whatever, it’s always getting links so you constantly link building, not only you’ll be link building to this shit, that’s probably not in the index. But the ones that do stay the permanent ones, then they get constantly, they get constant PageRank and ranking score. Yeah.
And so there’s one other thing that you can do that would would kind of stack our methods, which is kind of what I always try to do, which is take your G site from your SEO shield, write your Google site, create a page on it in the appropriate place within a proper silo structure, and then embed, take the folder, take the folder, and you can embed that folder into the G site. And now you can just take all of your Excel files for each press release that you get for that particular, you know, make sure it’s siloed correctly, but for that particular subject, or topic or whatever, and you can upload them into that g site folder, excuse me, that drive stack folder, and that folder is embedded into a G site page, you can constantly hit that g site page with backlinks and each time you have new press releases, you just add another Excel file which becomes a sheet into that public folder. And they’re all going to benefit from that one g site page that you just keep hammering with links. So that’s another way to do it so that you get more bang for your buck so to speak.
You just got to get creative guys if you understand like what we talked about with theme mirroring and again, go to semantic mastery comm slash process, a lot of that is explained there or you can go to SEOshield.com, sign up for the four day training, it’s free, and go through all that and you’ll start to get a more of a an understanding of what it is that we’re doing with the G sites, the drive stacks and you can start to use that that structure to your benefit. Okay.
All right. He says Lastly, I bought local GMB pro and I am trying to follow these steps to rank my GMB listings. Okay, yeah, you can do a ton of stuff with G sites, guys that and the whole SEO shield that it’s just insane. I mean, take your GMB posts and embed them. Like there’s just so much stuff that you can do. And you could use the G site for primarily everything. So
Is It A Good Idea To Buy Social Signals From SEO Butler And Point Them To Branded Syndication Ring Post URLs?
Alright, Mark says, Is it a good idea to buy social signals from a place like SEO Butler and point these to the branded syndication ring post URLs for a boost? Are they better spent directly to the money site? It’s a good question. I don’t know, I haven’t bought social signals in probably three or four years.
I just stopped doing it. Because I did a test three or four years ago, testing social signals directly to the properties that I was trying to rank and I didn’t see any like purchased social signals, if they were organic social signals, those tend to have an effect. But if they’re just spammed social signals, I didn’t see any at all movement period for my test about three or four years ago, and I tested I think, five or six different SEO, or excuse me, social signals services, SEO Butler, I’m not I can’t remember if that was, it’s not SEO Butler anymore, but I can’t remember if that was one of them or not, it might have been, there was a service that I saw a little bit of movement from that was tiered social signals, which would be like, you know, you’d share the money page, or the you know, the service would share the money page to some social profiles. And then there would be activity on that shared post from that social proof, if that makes sense. So in other words, like one of the, you know, Facebook share profiles, it would share the target URL, what I was trying to promote. And then there would be comments, likes and shares of that Facebook post, if that makes sense. That had a little bit of an effect. And that was again, three or four years ago, probably four years ago now. But that was the only one that had any effect on SEO, from my test. Again, several years ago, things may have changed, but I can’t imagine that spam social signals got any more powerful? In fact, it would, it’s likely it’s logical that it’s it’s more.
You know, it’s tiered social signals and having relevancy, you know, and all of that, I think would be more important, which is, again, why I just don’t buy fake social signals anymore. So I can’t tell you whether that would help or not, because I just don’t know, I don’t I don’t think that it would, but I haven’t tested it. What do you think, Marco?
I think a better way. We talked about this last week, I suggest that you go Now listen, is that I don’t want to answer. And I’m going to give you a further answer. But go back and watch what our answer from last week. Because we really went into detail into detail on this. What I am going to tell you is you’re better off, like buying the social signals from the social media that you’re trying to target. And you can send people to other places or you can send them to your website, wherever it is that you want to send these people. And now what you’re doing is you’re sending someone that might and if you’ve done a really good job of targeting this person, and reaching out and putting the ad in front of the person that’s looking for it
You’re likely to get a conversion. Whereas if you’re just buying some odd social signals from whomever, they’re not really interested in your stuff, they’re not interested in buying.
And that conversion is not likely to happen, I’m always going to go with how I’m likelier to get a conversion. So if I can pay Facebook, for ads, Hernandez does a great job. If I can pay Instagram, if I can pay whomever, and it doesn’t take a lot, I’m telling you, you said at the beginning a $200 a month budget, it might might sound like less 20 $400 a year. But within a couple of months, it should run itself, the ads should run themselves. And you should make enough money from that where you can start investing more money into your ads, if you’re going to use them, right for social signals for branding, and however else it is that you want to use them. But also because these people will convert at the end of the day, these are people who are interested enough in your ad to click on it to see what it is that you’re trying to sell or whatever it is that you’re trying to do.
Yeah, and just to kind of expand on that briefly is think about relevancy, right? When you’re buying spam social signals, they’re just I mean, why even if the profiles have been built up to look real and things like that, if that if those profiles that are being used to produce or provide those social signals, chances are there is a huge wide range of, you know, topics that that profile is interested in, right, that has an affinity for. Right, that makes sense. So it’s going to be very, very broad. And I guess that’s okay. But my point is, if you can buy social signals from real people from true, relevant audiences, right, so people that have a genuine interest, how do you do that? Well, you can do it from Facebook, you can do it in Google Now, which you can go in. And it’s called intent based or interest based targeting. Right. So you can go in and you can buy traffic from I do Google ads, I don’t do any Facebook ads, I just don’t. So I’m going to speak about this from the Google Ads standpoint, you can go into Google ads, and from YouTube, or from the display, network, whatever you can go in and buy in market audiences, or life event audiences, or you can create your own audiences, right. So interest based targeting. So you can go in and it’s called a custom audience. And you can do that through keywords and or URLs of sites that somebody that would be interested in your product or service that you’re trying to promote, would would likely be visiting. And so Google will create your own custom audience based upon the intent criteria or the interest criteria that you set. So now if you’re buying traffic signals from a real relevant audience, that is has a true or genuine interest in the product and or service that you’re trying to promote. Then now you’re getting that activity relevance trust and authority signals, right art that we always talk about to you directly to your properties. And then if they decide to engage by liking, sharing, whatever commenting, then now you’ve got an even heavier weighted signal than just buying spam social signals from general profiles out there that you know have no true affinity or interest in any one thing. That makes sense. It’s a heavier weighted signal is my point. So again, I don’t know I haven’t tested any spam social signals in years I just stopped using them years ago because I didn’t see any any benefit in them. So I just don’t know if anything has changed. I can’t imagine that they’ve gotten any stronger though. So I mean, there is some benefit there is to like jumpstart, but if it’s not replaced by real signals, it just dies. That’s that’s what I’ve seen. I don’t know some people I don’t I know that I see them in Facebook. Sometimes they say that they have success with spamming all of these things. I see it I see it I see the kickstart and then I see it diet because you guys know I’ll test some fiber I’ll take us I’ll go and buy some I’ll go and see someone say okay, Pinterest, good enough for AdSense I’ll go check it out Pinterest or this traffic or that traffic good enough it is and I’ll go test it out. But no, no, no, it never has the power or the effect or the ability to make your money like real ads real people interested in whatever it is that you’re doing.
How Do You Market Niche Sites With GMB?
Okay, so next question says I have a shopping cart website that is the root domain however, I decided to diversify my website to create sub directory blogs using WordPress to create different niches. I have 50 WordPress niche blogs and directories. How do I market my niche sites with GMB?
Uh, well, you know, local is relative, we talked about that or Marco always says that.
I don’t know how much I can talk about it here because yeah, you’re saying no, no, I don’t know how much we can talk about it here but I would suggest either joining the heavy hitter club for local GMB pro. You get access to the Facebook group, but then you’d be able to get questions answered on how to apply that on a national level as well. But you can you can do a lot of really cool things with GMBs, it doesn’t have to be like a strictly local business, right.
I still think I don’t know. Because I don’t know exactly what your setup here is. But you know, 50 word. That’s a lot of damn WordPress blogs to be maintaining. So I’m not I don’t I don’t know what you’re doing with that. But yeah, again, I’m sorry, I can’t really get into detail here.
We talked about how you can use GMB for kind of what Marco was talking about at the very beginning of this webinar. First. There’s some really powerful things you can do with GMB on even a national or even a global scale. For even, you know, projects or businesses that aren’t technically local businesses. It makes sense to have a GMB because of some of the things that you can do with that. That’s about as far as I can take it in a free setting like this. Come join the mastermind or heavy hitter club or local GMB pro and we’d be happy to give you a lot more guidance on that. This the method that I’m using right now how I’m using the local GMB. Okay, let’s make this clear. Local GMB Pro, I’m still using to get fantastic results locally, that hasn’t changed. The only thing that’s changed about local GMB pro and why we have not updated the training is that you need to fill out as much of the information as possible before you send for that pin. If you’re going to get a pin. That’s it. That’s the only thing so that you never have to go back and change that information. because that’ll get you suspended sometimes not often not not everyone, not always, but it does get get you suspended.
So when we go and tell you optimize your information, get it to 100% including images, local, whatever you can get in there, so that you never have to go back so that you can then focus on the other things that we teach in local GMB Pro. And I’m not going to go into what we teach in local GMB Pro. that to this day is getting me fantastic results. But then I started thinking, because I always do well how then do I use this in other ways? And I did. And so now I’m using it.
But the only place that I’m teaching this is in the heavy hitter club right now.
Because I want people to come back like like on what was it last? Last night? on our mini mastermind? Someone came and said, Look, I was stuck with a client. I couldn’t figure out what to do. I went and I used your GMB method. And within three days,
I was ranking him. I wasn’t I was getting the results that I needed for him. Because he was the client was complaining. So three days. And it’s that quick. Why? Because posts, they they still index almost automatically, yeah, almost immediately.
And then they stay in there in the mobile index. And then Google gives you notifications on desktop that your post is about to expire. It doesn’t. It’s still there, it’s still in that role in search. And so if you understand it, see, the reason why I don’t want to give most of this away is because someone just take it off for the training from our ship and say it’s there. So I’m not going to do that. I’m sorry, come to our group. And I’ll be more than happy to cover this for you. If you have any questions. I’ll be happy to go over them with you so that you can get the best results possible, not only nationally, but you can go globally. You can go regionally. You can you can use it however you want. It just takes just a little bit of tweaking. That’s all. So there you go. heavy hitter club. That’s your best bet for that.
How Do You Show Line Of Products In GMB?
Also on GMB, how do I show my line of products? Well, depending on what type of GMB It is like in other words, what type of category business category you select. You ought to be able to add products into your GMB for example, you know, even some of the contractor GMB profiles have a section for services that you can add and also a section for products which I’m not even sure why because some of these contractors don’t have products that they sell. It’s just services yet. Some of them still have a products tab available in GMB and I’ve never, I’ve never added a product to GMB just because none of my clients actually sell products. They just sell services. So I’ve not even explored that tab in GMB. But I know there’s one there. So I you know, I don’t know what category you’re in. But it’s likely that you will have a product tab in GMB. And you can just go in and add products there as far as I know. Have you any experience with that or not? Oh, yeah, yeah. Not all GMB’s have products. And not all GM bees have services. Right? It’s really interesting Google, the Google give us and the Google taketh away. And you just have to work with whatever it is that they’ve given you. If you’re in a niche when you do have a product or when you’re expected to have a product line, then you will have a product tab available. And then you have to go to the process of getting approved. Because there is a process that you have to follow when you when you’re inserting them. And then they have to get approved. Once that happens, then it’s you just keep adding them if you have new products, or you just keep promoting a product, it’s really that simple. Yeah. And it’s cool, because I know it’ll, it’ll push a featured snippet or a rich snippet, I should say in the Knowledge Graph or the excuse me knowledge panel with products that creates like a little product carousel, right.
So kind of like the GMB posts. So it’s pretty cool.
By the way, I meant to show this to you earlier, Marco, I’m not going to pull it up. Now, because we’re on Hump Day Hangouts. I’ll talk about it maybe in the mastermind, but a structured data, having the structured data on a local page, like it’s really cool. Now, when I do a brand search for a particular company, like I’ve got Not only do I have knowledge panel on the right, but at the very top, I have position zero. Now it’s a it’s a cool Rich Snippet for the brand name with the featured image from that, that landing page. It’s really cool. Like, that’s the first time I saw it was today. So not only is there a knowledge panel, but there’s also a position zero or rich snippet. position zero record snippet. Yeah. And that’s just from having proper structured data on the page.
How Do You Deal With A Suspended Drive Stack Or GSite?
So anyways, next question was what would your plan? What would be your plan in the event a drive stack or G site was reported in suspended? You know, I’ve not had I’ve not experienced that.
If I did, I would try to request reconsider reinstatement, right.
And here’s my logic for that. Why would a drive stack or G site, especially the G site be reported and suspended? I mean, it’s a real site, right? I mean, like, unless you’re doing something incredibly spammy with it, which we do a lot of that too. It’s a real site, why would it get suspended? You know what I mean? Like, my question is, like, it might have been reported in suspended because it might be Google’s default to just suspend shit when people complain about stuff, which is, you know, canceled culture. At its at its best. But my point is, I would I would dispute it is my an ask, try to get it reinstated first.
  If you can’t get it reinstated, which again, I’m not sure why. It doesn’t make sense to me for somebody be able to report something in or decide to just be taken down unless you’ve been doing some really, really spammy shit with it. But I don’t know. What do you think Marco, the only time I’ve seen what suspended was when when we had meta refresh. And it was to what they call it a forum, right? a contact form. Because that’s phishing, Google takes that especially you can’t go from a contact form on Google to somewhere else, you can’t go from Google, especially meta refresh, to a form because that’s, that’s a recognized form of phishing, we got tagged for that, we got suspended, that you got to understand we’ve built 1000s, literally 1000s of these 1000s. And I have member, Paul, if I’m not gonna mention his last name, but he was begging us to get one taken down because the government was on them. They were on his brother, he was, he was supposed to take it down, he had to take it down. And he couldn’t get in there. And so even reporting it, even trying to get it suspended. And he couldn’t do it. I don’t know what finally happened. All of you listening to this, let us know what happened with that with a decided drive stack. Because he lost access to it is what happened, he lost the logins, whatever it was, and he couldn’t get back in to put a private as it was. I’m not laughing at you, man. I’m just laughing at the situation. He was in a situation where his brother was in real trouble. And we couldn’t get in there to do anything for him. Google just wouldn’t allow it. And they would not suspend it. So looking at this scenario, it isn’t likely that someone’s going to come along and report you anyway. And if they do, Google trust itself, we bank on that. I think we literally place all of our money on Google trusting itself. Proven is that theory, by the way. And so I don’t I don’t see this. And in the event that Google suspends it, we have the software to put it back up somewhere else.
Yeah. Oh, yeah. And that’s all I would say is, you know, if I were to lose one, I just rebuild it. Right? I mean, I would rebuild it i i’d have it rebuilt, so to speak. So but um, you know, that kind of stuff does happen occasionally. Not not. I’ve not seen a G site. I’ve seen I’ve seen a Google account suspended. Yeah.
But not the actual, just that, you know, drive stack in G site itself.
What Does The Embeds Products In MYGB Means?
Alright, heads up, says I understand what an actual embed is. I just don’t understand what or how embed packages from MGYB works. I already had my SEO shield, I did a natural link building package. I’m curious about embeds. Now, are these embeds on your network? slash sites? Yeah. So our link building network, Daddy, our link building manager has been, you know, building that network and feeding it with additional sites and theming them. So we have like, categorized link, you know, web 2.0 networks that we use for that he uses for building links so that we can, you know, there’s topical relevancy in the blogs that we’re using to build links back to your target URLs. So with the embed package, okay, so you understand the link building side, right? So he’s got, what over 2 million now? He’s got it, I’ll have to ask whatever. He’s got millions, a million plus web to Dotto sites that networks that are themed aged, topically, you know, themed in the topic, cat topical categories, excuse me. And when you buy a link building package, he goes out and places, you know, relevant articles on those web two Dotto paid sites, you know, and with link building, you know, tart with links pointing to your target URLs, whatever you submit it. Okay, so you understand that? Well, the embeds is the exact same network. The only difference is instead of pointing links from the articles on those web two Dotto networks to your target URLs. Instead, you take the iframe the he he takes the iframe, the embed code, and embeds that in those articles on those web two dot o pages. And then you can link build that as the second tier, right? You link build to those pages or posts on those web two dot o networks where your properties or assets are embedded. Does that make sense? So in other words, instead of having a hyperlink on the web two dot o network, pointing to your target URLs, instead, your properties, whatever you submitted, your embed codes are embedded into those posts on the web to auto network. So they’re surrounded by relevant content on themed networks. And then if you order the second tier link building to the embeds, then the the then there’s link building done to those posts on those web two Dotto networks where your embeds sit. Does that make sense?
All right. comments on that? Not good enough. He says, What am I actually buying when I buy embed packages? Like what’s the deliverable I get from MGYB team when buying links straightforward. When buying links, straightforward, I get a spreadsheet of links Buying Event sort of confused on what the end product is, it’s the same thing, you get the exact same type of report that you do from a link building report, if you click So again, if you buy, you know, whatever 2500 and beds, then you’re going to get a G sheet, a Google Sheet that has your 2500 embed URLs, where you can click through and go view the post or page, whatever, where your embed your iframe resides. Does that make sense? So again, it’s that you get the exact same type of report, as you would a link building report. It’s the same network. So.
Is Syndwire And Other Social Bookmarks Still Useful To Get Social Signals For The Website?
Okay, hopefully that clears that up for you. The next question is, are old tools like Syndwire and other social bookmarks still useful for anything in SEO? Or to get social signals for our websites? If so, what’s a good way to get different signals from places like Reddit, Twitter, Twitter, etc? I don’t know. I stopped using those tools a long, long time ago.
I’m sure I still have Syndwire somewhere, because I had, I had hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of probably well over 1000 profiles in there. And I used it quite a bit. But that was years ago, I stopped using that stuff years and years ago.
I don’t know I honestly I can’t answer that. It would probably those tools can probably be useful for like building links to your tier one entity assets or to you know, use them as second tier or third tier links to stuff. I don’t know that I would do it directly to the money site. In fact, I wouldn’t do it directly to the money site, g site.
Yeah, drive stack prop profiles, and tier one entity assets, stuff like that. I just I don’t run any of those tools just because it’s too time consuming for me. And I don’t really enjoy doing that kind of stuff. There’s probably a use for them, but I don’t use them. What do you think Marco? I haven’t used bookmarking sites other than what’s in our syndication network in forever. Yeah, because we get really good results. By the way, we’re attacking the entity and we’re the way that we do things. I mean, it’s just the results are there and there’s no reason to go and get anything extra and when we do need extra power, we can go get it elsewhere, rather than from a bookmarking sites not to say that there’s anything wrong with that. I don’t know enough anymore about social bookmarking or bookmarking sites, and whether they have SEO value to tell you whether they do. So I’m not knocking them. I’m not saying I’m just saying I don’t use them.
Yeah.
Okay, uh, if so what’s a good way to get different signals from places like Reddit, Twitter central? Well, we talked about that, in the beginning of today, you know, paid traffic from relevant audiences from those platforms is the best way to do it. You know, it’s because you’re buying real traffic that is from relevant audience that, you know, stands a good chance of actually converting of whatever your conversion goal may be to become an opt in a lead, request an estimate by a product, whatever your conversion goal is. So that’s just the way that I do it also. Alright.
Is There Any Other Use For Tools Like MTurk For SEO?
Next, in the webinar from last week, somebody mentioned CTR, which click through rate using mturk Mechanical Turk, which is effective, which isn’t effective much now. Is there any other tools any other use for tools like em Turk for SEO? I don’t know. Because I don’t use that for anything else.
Like micro task workers was one of them. I can’t mturk Mechanical Turk, which is an Amazon company, same thing. It’s like micro task workers. It’s a micro task platform. I used it specifically for CTR spam, right for manipulating click through rate. But that was years ago, because then then it was automated by a lot of these spam bots, these CT spam bots. And now I just use paid traffic. So I don’t know, I don’t know what else. I mean, if you’ve got small tasks that you need repetitive tasks that can you cannot, you know, hire somebody to do like through something like that, then then I’m sure there might be some other uses for it. But it’s, it’s been a long time since I’ve hired any micro task workers. So can’t really give you any guidance on that. Anybody know? Okay.
Would You Advise Linking City Pages From The Homepage And To Each Other?
Austin, Dom, what’s up, man? He says, would you advise linking the city pages for the from the homepage, and then linking city pages to each other? This is for a site with about 10 or 15 to 15 or so city pages, I would not. And the reason why I wouldn’t do that. Now linking From the homepage to individual city pages that may be fine, depends on you know what it is you’re trying to do. But for example, like if you had like a locations tab in the navigation menu, and you hover over that tab, and it’s a drop down, and it’s got you know, 10 City, landing like 1010, you know, 10 links to go in each city page, that may be fine, why I wouldn’t link from one city page to another, I mean, you may be able to get away with it, there has to, I need more context to be able to provide any guidance on that. Because the way that I do things again, Austin dawn, you can go to semantic mastery comm slash process, which you’ve probably already seen that by now. But if you haven’t go through that, go go to the website tab and click watch the training, I talked about silo structure, and specifically location silos using tags within WordPress.
And the reason so I wouldn’t be linking between cities cross linking from one city page to another because I silo my locations into location based silos. And so if I want to link from one location silo to another for user experience for navigation purposes, that which makes sense, right? That’s logical in some cases to do that, then I would do that with a nofollow link so that I’m not bleeding the theme of that location silo into another because that creates confusion, right? ambiguity between silos between topical themes, in this case, their location based themes. Does that make sense? So I wouldn’t do that I would have a silo structure on my main money site, there. And again, semantic mastery comm slash process, you’ll see exactly what I’m talking about. I use categories for topical silos, and tags for location based silos. And I keep all of my silos incredibly tight, all the internal linking between them, because as Mark was talking about at the beginning of this webinar, and again, go look at that Majestic blog post that I posted earlier talking about the link graphs, and if you understand how to amass or accrue power in certain spots, and then how to direct that power through very targeted points. And again, silo structures, how you can accomplish that, then you understand why you wouldn’t want to cross link between location pages, because you can essentially bleed any power from any one silo to where it’s kind of like it becomes more of a flat site. In other words, you ambigua each one of the topical themes from each silo, and I wouldn’t want to do that. But again, without having more context, I can’t give you real solid guidance on that. Hopefully that didn’t confuse anybody. Mark, do you want to comment on that?
Yeah, I just wouldn’t, I just wouldn’t because
I hate having to answer these things. It’s not the way that I silo is that the way that I would recommend siloing? I don’t recommend breaking up the way that it’s siloed. If you want further insight into that, you’re welcome to join me in the heavy hitter club where we go in depth into why you don’t want to do that.
Yeah.
Is There Any SEO Benefit To Google Redirects?
Okay, the next question is, is there any SEO benefit to Google redirects? Like? Yes, there is I can’t disclose why. But there is absolutely a benefit to that.
Guys, you don’t have to come here and ask us. Try it. Yeah.
Yeah, I see how it works. I can’t disclose why I’m here, because that’s an RYS Academy secret.
I can’t disclose that here. There. There is absolutely a benefit to using that link that that URL format, but it’s a redirect from Google, but only if you know how to use it correctly. And that is taught in our ys Academy. So I can’t share that here. We vote we’ve always had this power in using Google to rank in Google rank your shit Academy. rank your shit Academy reloaded? The foundation of it all? is Google trust Google. So we’re going to go and we’re going to draw as much power as we can out of Google. And anytime that you can find a Google property to manipulate just learn to manipulate it. That’s it. Yeah, that’s concept.
Which Server Do You Use?
So there’s bb. It’s not too many questions, BB. Baby. He says, Hey, guys, which server do you use? I used to I use either liquidweb. While you I mean, I use both. I use liquidweb. And I use WP x hosting.
I like both of them. And also for a lot of like tests. I use siteground reseller for like, a lot of like test sites, and, you know, like feeder sites and things like not necessarily PBNs, I could use it for that. But that I wouldn’t put money sites on siteground. Not Not, not reseller hosting for sure. But um, for money sites, I use liquid web or web hosting.
Yeah, I use liquid and I use AWS, I use Amazon, I use the shit out of Amazon. Everybody does. I don’t know how anyone can go without using Amazon nowadays. But if it’s something that I really care about, where like, I don’t want to have
What do you call it? Someone that goes that has to go into the server, I don’t want to have to pay someone, I want to just pay someone to go and talk to the liquid web support. From that fantastic you go you call them. They’ll do whatever it is that you need them to do. They’ll help you with whatever help you need. Those people, I don’t know how they do it. But I can’t recommend them enough. You have to speed you got a VPS By the way, and then you can just keep upgrading, you can upgrade to a dedicated server. But you’ll never need to pay somebody else something someone outside of liquid web to come and work on the server because they’ll do it. You can’t lose. By the way, look at the list of clients who use liquid web and you’ll understand why we use liquid whey. Yeah, and I mean again, I just want to reiterate, I also use WP x I’m really happy with WP x also. That’s Terry Kyle is behind that and their support is fantastic a WPX as well it rivals liquid web support.
So again, I’m really really happy with WPX I’ve been I’ve had a you know hosting account with them for like three years, and they keep rolling out new features that don’t cost anything else. Like it’s just they keep adding additional features and their support is super super fast. You can live chat like almost instantaneously. So it’s just it’s a really good service. So either one or the other. Both of them I endorse both. Alright, so then the next question is what is happening with Virginia SEO so you’re probably talking about the SEO or excuse me the the first drive stack that I ever built the crude one from the Virginia SEO project from May 2015. I went in about I don’t know five or six weeks ago and made some changes to it. And it tanked
yeah did it thank you I don’t even know if it’s in the I haven’t looked at it in a few weeks but I know a few weeks ago it was it wasn’t even on page one anymore I can guarantee is still fresh paid I don’t even have to look it can’t have fallen off that much yeah did it did let’s let’s do the search right now man up I’ll put my money where my mouth go. I mean, maybe one of the keywords there was few several variations that I just use SEO virgin it just go to the top i o virgin SEO.
Okay, they’re using schema bamboo marketing. They’re now benefiting. See, this is a site. No, that’s not mine.
Using a G site, look at that. Yeah, somebody else’s. Okay. But this big bamboo that’s pushed by by all that that is Yeah. And that that might have been one one. So I did I went in and made some changes to it because I said, You know what, I ought to probably go in and make some updates to this and then, but honestly, it was it was it was just because I had some spare time, which is I don’t want anymore at the time when I went into play with it. And after I made those changes it tanked. I was like, Oh shit. And I honestly it was I don’t? I am not looking for.
Look at that. It’s not even on page two. Oh, so you killed it. You killed Virginia steel. Yeah, no, I mean, I think it’s still indexed. But they’re not. Bradley, shame on you. Yeah. And it was it was funny because like, honestly, I’m not interested in spending any time on trying to revive that, because it was great to point to for examples of how powerful drive stacks can be. But I went in and made some changes, like I said, there it is right there. So on Virginia SEO agency, it’s at the bottom of page two. And I promise you remember guys, it stayed ranking for five over five years, about five and a half years. And I did nothing to it, no link building nothing and went up about six or eight months ago, when I noticed it had dropped three or four spots from number one down to like, you know, four or five, for several keywords, I did one freakin press release. And it pushed it right back up to number one for about four or five months. And then I went in and made some changes. So like I said, if I wanted to spend some time on this, or money for that matter, not even time I could just buy some link building gigs to this and probably push it back up. But it was used for nothing other than just as as a as a, you know, something to show. I don’t, I will not take just general SEO clients anymore at all. So if I was when I because I did generate leads from that. But I won’t, you know, now unless they’re a Tree Service contractor, I flat out won’t even quote anybody. So like, there’s really no point in me spending any time or money on that site anymore. I’m working on a national project right now that I will share when the time is appropriate. And that’ll be you know, kind of the new case study that I’ll run with for Semantic Mastery for the next several years. Because it’s a it’s the biggest project I’ve ever worked on in my digital marketing career. And I’m super excited about it. But I can’t share what that is right now. So I but we can shed defeat flower? Sure you can. We can do that. Well, why don’t you do just let’s do spend another minute and just real quick.
Number one, number two, number two and organic. Thank you. And the other one, the root domain, the self hosted domain for that same project. So number four, inorganic decide those got a proper drive stack and, and a property site. One of those is the G site which outperforms everything. So there you go. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. And sometimes you have Bradley breaking shit. Yeah. But for five and a half years, other than like I said about six or eight months ago, I did one press release because it dropped about middle of page one, after five years with no link building nothing. It was a number one position and every now and it would bounce to like number two or number three, but for four or five main keywords, it was always ranked number one for years. And what’s funny is some of those competitors now that are have Google sites listed on page one, I promise you that they went and either bought drive stacks from us or reverse engineered and built exact replicated what I did and those were other SEO Virginia SEO agencies that did that. So for five years, I was ranked number one with no link building no press releases nothing from a very crude SEO shield, and wasn’t even called that a drive stack that I built. It wasn’t built properly wasn’t interlinked properly. And there was nothing done to it. So
I’m a believer.
And I’m gonna remain a believer. I don’t care if it’s dropped to page two. Now when I haven’t done anything Well, again, I edited it and I shouldn’t have So anyway, that was it. I think we got to all the questions today. No, I think they’ll beautiful. Well, thanks for being here, guys. We will see you all

Bradley last but not least, how you doing today? Good man happy to be here busy as all can be. Which is a good start to this year so got a lot of stuff cooking. anxious to share it but I can’t just yet but it’s coming so we’ll talk about that when it’s ready. So on the personal side I know it’s cold you know in Virginia this time of year but you get out you like getting out in the mountains doing the the ATV stuff Have you been able to do any of that or is it kind of downtime for that? You well I get it for the New Year’s weekend for a long weekend went and rode then but yeah, it’s it’s definitely slower this time of year but don’t do as much riding it’s more about maintenance on the machines rebuilding and all that kind of stuff. So but I mean, I try to ride when I can but it’s not it’s not as fun when it’s stupid cold. That’s for sure. So yeah, so probably be another four or five weeks before I go on another ride. You get upgraded to snowmobiles to know and all that well 90% of people I ride with all right and those side by sides which are like these little cars, right like the buggies that have enclosures roll cages, a lot of them have heaters and they have stereos and all this shit. Not me I ride a quad a sport quad four wheelers, like two wheel drive. And I don’t want any of that shit. They all try to talk me into buying those side by sides. And I’m not interested in that i like i like the actual at the sport ATV. So well, this might be a little bit too much in the personal stories, but it reminds me I moved to upstate New York. I’ve never been in a place where you get snow that long. And we moved there when there wasn’t snow. And we were like walking along and are driving along and you’d see little stop signs there like this big. And they’d be like a waist height. They’re like here and I’m like, What in the hell is the one crossing? Yeah, like who’s driving here and that? Yeah, I had to wait till winter. I felt stupid. I didn’t want to ask him and then I was like, ah, I get it. Yeah, it’s a snowmobile trail.
All right. Well, Marco, like I said full circle. If you can let people know what’s going on with the webinars, the charity, how things are going with that. Can you do that now?
Well, I’m getting them set up.
We’ve had some people shuffle around, but I am planning to start them on January 25. Regardless whether people are are on on schedule or not, because we just have so much information to give
What’s working? I don’t know how much I usually give away the farm. Because I’m using I mean, I told you guys yesterday how I’m using a certain thing for SEO, not just for what everyone else is using it for and and to get fantastic results. Just everywhere. It’s a great SEO target people and and a link building tool as a matter of fact, when people don’t don’t see it that way, and I don’t understand why we’re supposed to be SEO, we’re supposed to be scientists, and we’re supposed to be investigating. And we, when we’re at this point, at the technical point, we’re supposed to be able to understand how things work and why.
And so when you do that, you say, oh, okay, so if this is this way, then I can do all of the things here. And I can push it. So now you understand where it where you’re concentrating the power and how it concentrates that you can push it. But the underlying power behind all this is when you give people the correct brand, the correct entity, you make all of the associations of everything that’s about your brand on the web. And it’s like it’s like a Christmas tree. It just lights up. Rob did a fantastic job in a webinar. Oh, no, sorry, po foo live, of explaining why. And he showed it. He showed Google and he showed what it is that we do. And he made the comparison, which I wasn’t expecting him to go that far. But it was it’s amazing to see how much we just mimic what’s going on how much we mimic these, these?
What would we call them agric aggregated data, points on all these nodes on the web? And how it is that we can then give Google what Google is looking for, which is what is your entity about? What is your your thing on the web? What is this thing about? Please tell me more because I need to know. And the more that you tell Google, the more that you get rewarded, so we’re going to go deep into that is going to be five or six different webinars, hour and a half. And the questions and answers and Rob will be there. Jordan’s gonna be there. Ah, Dixon, Jones of inlinks is going to be there confirm. As we did, we just we just got fantastic people coming to tell you how even unstructured data can be in a way structured so that it works for the bot. So it’s just a fantastic concept of one unstructured unstructured data, working with your, with your structured data in a way so that everything comes together. And if I confused you a bit, I understand, because these are like like heavy concepts. But we’re gonna try to break it down during the webinars. So look for it, I’ll go ahead and post the donation page. On the on the events page, guys, all you have to do is go and donate send an email to the email address that I’ll give you, and you’ll be put on the list you will be notified of when the first webinar is it’ll be on the 25th probably 5pm. Eastern, don’t hold me to that. Probably. Okay. So there you go. Donate whatever you can. Yeah, if you’re on the replay, go to semantic mastery comm HD questions, if you’re watching this on YouTube, and you can see the questions there. And you’ll be able to see the links Marco has and what exactly to do. And if you guys have any confusion at all about this, just send an email to support at semantic mastery comm we’ll get you sorted out.
Cool. All right, well, first things first, if you’re new to Semantic Mastery new to MGYB, you’re in the right place that we appreciate you watching and just want to say that one of the first things you should do is head over to the SEO shield comm you can find out how to shield your site, you don’t have to worry about algorithm updates again, and it’s free training. Get started there, you’ll hear his talking about the SEO shield. So if nothing else, it’s worthwhile to figure out what’s going on there. I know a lot of you already know but occasionally we get people each week showing up that are new and haven’t heard of it. That’s a great place to get started. Next up for that if you want repeatable processes for your SEO and getting results, pick up the battle plan and you get that at battle plan dot semantic mastery.com. After that, we also hear a lot from agency owners or consultants. If you want to get more clients, you want to grow your revenue you want to scale your team the answer to those should probably be Yes, depending on where you’re at. So that you can work less and earn more than head over to to x your agency.com. All right, we got a lot more information there for you. And last but certainly not least, if you’re ready to grow your digital marketing business, then you want to join an experienced community. All right, and that is what the mastermind is all about. And there’s more information at mastermind dot semantic mastery.com and I said last but not least, but I guess I kind of slipped up there because I’ve mentioned the SEO shield. If you want to get an SEO shield if you want to get links, you want to get press releases, you want to get all this good stuff. You
Find out more at mg y b.co. And that is the done for you services with all that good stuff I just mentioned.
So with that said, you guys, any other announcements before we dive into the questions?
Let’s do it.
All right, let me grab the screen.
You guys are seeing it now. Correct? Yeah, yes. Yep.
All right. So I pulled this up, because this was a blog post on majestic. The majestic blog that Rob shared back in December, they posted it, they published it December 15. But this is about the link graph. That majestic now has this tool that shows this is what Marco was talking about, guys, this is what we optimize for. When we do entity based SEO, it’s to it’s to mimic or to to build this sort of a structure. That makes sense. So that’s what that’s what Marco was just now talking about. In the opening was about how we do it, we build all these nodes. And that’s why we always talk about increasing your entity expanding your entity footprint, right? The footprint is always in the SEO world, people always think footprint is a bad thing. But when it comes to Semantic Web, it’s not when you’re when you’re talking about reinforcing and validating the entity, which is a really, really good blog post, by the way, I pasted this link in the chat box, guys. So you can scroll down and find it and click through, spend some time reading through this. It’s pretty cool. And it will hopefully shed some light on what it is that we’re actually doing when we do what we do. So Mark, do you want to comment on that before I move on? Because, you know, they focus on trust flow and citation flow, which is nothing about nothing? That’s their interpretation of an algorithm or how they place value on links, which to me, it just makes absolutely no sense unless you have a really powerful website, in which case, yeah, I do go use their, to their software to see, yeah, that the way that so all of those red dots on there are nodes. On the web, the lines are, of course, the connections between those nodes. And if you think of this in this space that we call the World Wide Web Wide Web, which is simply servers, you know, those red nodes, can can be servers, or they can be within the servers node within nodes within the service. But the only way that Google can get to those are through links. That’s why this is called a link. Graph. Those lines are representations of what the links are between those nodes. Otherwise, what you’re seeing is is a, what do you call it an ad ID, which is an identifier for the node, you name, the node. So this works two ways, because you can identify the node for Google in code. And then you can show what the relationship is between those links not only between those nodes, not only through the link, but through code. And you can tell Google, through code exactly how these links and how all of these nodes relate to one another within your link graph within your entity, and then I’ll call it within your entity link graph. Because it’s going to be everything that’s related to your entity rather than everything that’s on the web, which I think is what the representation is here.
Very cool. Well, thank you, Marco. So we’ll get into questions now.
Why Would You Use WordPress Tags When The Categories Mainly Serve A Similar Purpose?
All right, so the first question looks like for Blake SEO from a week ago, he says, what do you do with WordPress tags and why would you use them when categories mainly serve a very similar purpose? I’m not going to spend a whole lot of time talking about this, because I’ve gone into a lot of detail in our process doc, which if you go to semanticmastery.com/process, go to the website section. And you’ll see where how I use tags to create location based silos. Again, I’m not going to go into detail into that right now, guys, because if you want to learn what I’m talking about, or know more about what I’m talking about, just go to semanticmastery.com/process, click on the website tab, and then go through the training there. And I talked about how I, you know, I want when I’m building local based sites, right, which is all I do anymore. Well, I say that now. I’m working on something now that’s a national site. But anyway, almost everything I do are local, locally based sites, right. And so for that, I use categories for the topical silos, which is the traditional silo structure, right? The traditional taxonomy and WordPress that we use for solid structure using categories. But then for location based silos. I use tags now because you can do some really cool and creative things with tags that you can’t get. You can’t do with categories.
And it also resolves some conflicts that occur when you try to share subcategories between categories. Right. And again, I talked about all of that in semantic mastery, comm slash process, it’s free, you guys can go check that out. And you’ll see when I talk about it on a very high conceptual level, because if you want more mechanics on a more technical level of it, of that process, you have to join either semantic mastery mastermind or the heavy hitter club. So, but again, it’s on a conceptual level, kind of like a high level overview of why I use tags the way that I use to create location based silos. It it works really, really well. I’ve been doing that for the last two or three years. And then Jeffrey Smith, right. Seo ultimate training goes he goes in depth about tags also. Yeah, and especially semantic tags, and the semantic relationships between the tags. And those, again, are nodes. And how you connect those nodes. Guys, it’s all about.
Alright, so the recurring theme here is going to be links and how those those links function with one another to create all of these relevant semantic relationships.
Yeah.
How Do You Create Ads For Two Spam GMB Listings While Avoiding Suspension From Google?
Okay, so rocket blasters up he says, last Hump Day Hangout, I asked if you can do Google Ads with spam listings, but I guess what I meant to ask was, how do you do it? Because I put my credit card on two accounts in my Google ads were suspended because Google can tell I was using my card for two different listings? Well, first of all, I have my credit card across several Google accounts, I’ve never had that problem. I don’t know why some people have that problem. I’ve never had that problem. Maybe (knock on wood) I’ve been lucky. But I’ve got my credit card associated with multiple Google accounts, both on the G Suite or Google workspaces level, but also on Google ads, a couple, maybe three different ads accounts. And so I’ve never had that issue. So I don’t know what the problem is with that. But I’ve heard other people say that too. So I’m not doubting you there. My question to you though, is why would you set up separate Google Ads accounts, why not just add a manager account and use your primary Google Ads account to serve ads to your even your spammed listings is my point, if you set yourself up as a manager where you connect the GMB to your Google Ads account. Whatever your primary ads account is, then you can still run ads through your primary account, even to spammed listings, which is what I do. That’s how I do everything. I have one primary Google Ads account. I manage several clients accounts as well. But that’s different. I’m talking about, I run, even for all of the projects that I work on for my own business.
I do it all underneath one primary Google Ads account, I have a couple other smaller accounts that I’ve done some stuff with, but they were more or less test accounts. But so again, if I’ve got it set, like because, and I’ve said this before, but for a lot of clients, I run ads through my account, and I just charge them a flat fee. Like, for example, for YouTube ads, when I run YouTube ads for clients, depending on what the campaign structure is, if it’s just a branding ad, which I was doing that for several years, just doing YouTube branding ads for clients, I would charge them $300 a month to run the ads. And that would pay for the ad spend plus my management fees, because I could get away with setting up ad campaigns for, you know, $2 or $3 a day. So 60 bucks to 90 bucks per month is what I would use out of that $300 a month that they were paying me but I would manage it all through my own Google Ads account. That way, it was just easier, is more efficient for me to manage all from one account then for me to constantly be logging in to other Google, you know, Google Ads accounts.
So I run everything through my own account. And you can do that again. For example, if I was let’s say I was running Google ads in the through my own account for a client, what I would do is I would connect the GMB from my client to my Google Ads account, you can link accounts that way. Okay, it’s very simple to do. You can do it from the GMB dashboard, by the way, and then I would link the accounts and then I would run ads from you know, YouTube ads where the link might be clicking the click right to target URL for the ad would link back to their GMB website or their Google Maps listing or their you know, their website or a specific landing page, whatever, whatever it is that I’m driving traffic to, which could be multiple targets. But it’s all done through my account that way. Again, if I’ve got a client where they’re, you know, they’re funding the ad account, and I’m just acting as a manager and they’re just paying the management fees, then I log into their account. That makes sense. So
rocket blasts are what I would suggest doing is running ads through one account that you have and that will become your master account. And here’s another reason for that. Because you guys know, if you’re not spending a certain threshold of money per month with Google ads, you have limit, they limit the data that they share with you in that Google Ads account. So why not have one account that you’ve aged that you have consistent spend with? And that just makes it a more, you know, a better account for you to manage? That would be my suggestion. Anybody else? Yeah. I mean, I’ve heard people mention that they’ve gotten it suspended for using the same the same credit card, right across multiple accounts. That’s why you don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Either you do it the way that you do, or you do it the way that I do, which is just get a whole bunch of credit cards, and open a whole bunch of different accounts to run a whole bunch of different ads. So all of your eggs aren’t in one basket. I also know that you can get the virtual cards, right? Yeah, well, you can, you can create an endless amount of numbers through that virtual cart. The problem is that if your main card ever gets rejected, then all of the numbers related to that card, are also going to get rejected, then everything comes down. Again, putting all your eggs in one basket, you just have to be sure that it’s something that you keep an eye on, when it’s going to expire, you always keep it fully funded. You never miss any payments, you know, I mean, do you really have to be careful? Because I know someone that got that got tagged. He was using the virtual card with with virtual numbers. And I mean, literally dozens and dozens of numbers and everything came crashing down.
Can You Build Backlinks To Different Press Release URLs?
Okay, so rocket blaster says one more question. I received my press release. And in the Excel file was a list of URLs, can I build backlinks to those different press release URLs that came in the Excel file? Yeah, you can there’s only one thing that I would suggest, why not? Why Why not to do that? Which would be because some press release, you know, publication points, right? The they purge, oh, you know, 90 days, six months, whatever it may be.
So if you’re building links to press release URLs, that in 90 days, or 180 days, or whatever the threshold is the timeframe is that they purge, then when that when that platform deletes that press release from from the site, then you’ve just lost all that link building that you’ve done to that particular URL? It’s not that you can’t do it, you can, you absolutely can, you know, if you’re in a regular cycle of link building, and press release publishing, then it’s okay. Because you’re it’s it’s natural, looking to have links, you know, build links to a tier one link, and then the tier one link disappears. And it’s kind of natural cycling lifecycle of links, so to speak. But a better way, in my opinion, would be to, if you’ve got a drive stack, which you should you’ve been coming here and asking us questions, for weeks. So you should have a drive stack. Now, an SEO shield with a drive stack. Why not take that Excel file and upload it as a Google Sheet into one of your public drive stack folders, the appropriate folder, if you’ve done your theme mirroring, and your silo expansion stacks and everything, so put it in the appropriate folder, make it will be a public sheet at that point, and then you can build backlinks to that public sheet URL. Or you can publish that Google Sheet and get the embed code and do embed gigs from MGYB and link building to the embeds. Right. And that’s another way to do it. And the reason why I say that is because now you’re building links to all of the links in that Excel file, which was all the press release URLs. But you can also update that with additional press release URLs from you know, that you have published by just copying and pasting them into that same sheet. So in other words, you can power up that one sheet. And you can continue to power up that sheet. And you can just continue to add to that sheet as opposed to having if you build links directly to the press release URLs, and then they purge, you’ve lost that link building. Does that make sense? Mark, do you want to comment on that? Yeah, you know, I just submit the PDF.
To Dadea, I just give it. I just give him that I just give him the list of links, and I’m hammered. And then it goes in a cycle. And if they if they go, you know, off the active index, then so be it. Because it like, as you said, yeah, it is natural for stuff to fall off. So you shouldn’t just be link building to things that are always index. If you’re going to hit everything that did they just go ahead and hit it or if you’re going to do link building, hit everything. And if it falls off, well, so be it. Yeah, you did. You did lose that but you’re still powering up everything else. And by all means, include that PDF and that spreadsheet from from those links, excuse me from those press releases in the drive stack, include those so that every time you link build into your drive stack into the G site, whatever, it’s always getting links so you constantly link building, not only you’ll be link building to this shit, that’s probably not in the index. But the ones that do stay the permanent ones, then they get constantly, they get constant PageRank and ranking score. Yeah.
And so there’s one other thing that you can do that would would kind of stack our methods, which is kind of what I always try to do, which is take your G site from your SEO shield, write your Google site, create a page on it in the appropriate place within a proper silo structure, and then embed, take the folder, take the folder, and you can embed that folder into the G site. And now you can just take all of your Excel files for each press release that you get for that particular, you know, make sure it’s siloed correctly, but for that particular subject, or topic or whatever, and you can upload them into that g site folder, excuse me, that drive stack folder, and that folder is embedded into a G site page, you can constantly hit that g site page with backlinks and each time you have new press releases, you just add another Excel file which becomes a sheet into that public folder. And they’re all going to benefit from that one g site page that you just keep hammering with links. So that’s another way to do it so that you get more bang for your buck so to speak.
You just got to get creative guys if you understand like what we talked about with theme mirroring and again, go to semantic mastery comm slash process, a lot of that is explained there or you can go to SEOshield.com, sign up for the four day training, it’s free, and go through all that and you’ll start to get a more of a an understanding of what it is that we’re doing with the G sites, the drive stacks and you can start to use that that structure to your benefit. Okay.
All right. He says Lastly, I bought local GMB pro and I am trying to follow these steps to rank my GMB listings. Okay, yeah, you can do a ton of stuff with G sites, guys that and the whole SEO shield that it’s just insane. I mean, take your GMB posts and embed them. Like there’s just so much stuff that you can do. And you could use the G site for primarily everything. So
Is It A Good Idea To Buy Social Signals From SEO Butler And Point Them To Branded Syndication Ring Post URLs?
Alright, Mark says, Is it a good idea to buy social signals from a place like SEO Butler and point these to the branded syndication ring post URLs for a boost? Are they better spent directly to the money site? It’s a good question. I don’t know, I haven’t bought social signals in probably three or four years.
I just stopped doing it. Because I did a test three or four years ago, testing social signals directly to the properties that I was trying to rank and I didn’t see any like purchased social signals, if they were organic social signals, those tend to have an effect. But if they’re just spammed social signals, I didn’t see any at all movement period for my test about three or four years ago, and I tested I think, five or six different SEO, or excuse me, social signals services, SEO Butler, I’m not I can’t remember if that was, it’s not SEO Butler anymore, but I can’t remember if that was one of them or not, it might have been, there was a service that I saw a little bit of movement from that was tiered social signals, which would be like, you know, you’d share the money page, or the you know, the service would share the money page to some social profiles. And then there would be activity on that shared post from that social proof, if that makes sense. So in other words, like one of the, you know, Facebook share profiles, it would share the target URL, what I was trying to promote. And then there would be comments, likes and shares of that Facebook post, if that makes sense. That had a little bit of an effect. And that was again, three or four years ago, probably four years ago now. But that was the only one that had any effect on SEO, from my test. Again, several years ago, things may have changed, but I can’t imagine that spam social signals got any more powerful? In fact, it would, it’s likely it’s logical that it’s it’s more.
You know, it’s tiered social signals and having relevancy, you know, and all of that, I think would be more important, which is, again, why I just don’t buy fake social signals anymore. So I can’t tell you whether that would help or not, because I just don’t know, I don’t I don’t think that it would, but I haven’t tested it. What do you think, Marco?
I think a better way. We talked about this last week, I suggest that you go Now listen, is that I don’t want to answer. And I’m going to give you a further answer. But go back and watch what our answer from last week. Because we really went into detail into detail on this. What I am going to tell you is you’re better off, like buying the social signals from the social media that you’re trying to target. And you can send people to other places or you can send them to your website, wherever it is that you want to send these people. And now what you’re doing is you’re sending someone that might and if you’ve done a really good job of targeting this person, and reaching out and putting the ad in front of the person that’s looking for it
You’re likely to get a conversion. Whereas if you’re just buying some odd social signals from whomever, they’re not really interested in your stuff, they’re not interested in buying.
And that conversion is not likely to happen, I’m always going to go with how I’m likelier to get a conversion. So if I can pay Facebook, for ads, Hernandez does a great job. If I can pay Instagram, if I can pay whomever, and it doesn’t take a lot, I’m telling you, you said at the beginning a $200 a month budget, it might might sound like less 20 $400 a year. But within a couple of months, it should run itself, the ads should run themselves. And you should make enough money from that where you can start investing more money into your ads, if you’re going to use them, right for social signals for branding, and however else it is that you want to use them. But also because these people will convert at the end of the day, these are people who are interested enough in your ad to click on it to see what it is that you’re trying to sell or whatever it is that you’re trying to do.
Yeah, and just to kind of expand on that briefly is think about relevancy, right? When you’re buying spam social signals, they’re just I mean, why even if the profiles have been built up to look real and things like that, if that if those profiles that are being used to produce or provide those social signals, chances are there is a huge wide range of, you know, topics that that profile is interested in, right, that has an affinity for. Right, that makes sense. So it’s going to be very, very broad. And I guess that’s okay. But my point is, if you can buy social signals from real people from true, relevant audiences, right, so people that have a genuine interest, how do you do that? Well, you can do it from Facebook, you can do it in Google Now, which you can go in. And it’s called intent based or interest based targeting. Right. So you can go in and you can buy traffic from I do Google ads, I don’t do any Facebook ads, I just don’t. So I’m going to speak about this from the Google Ads standpoint, you can go into Google ads, and from YouTube, or from the display, network, whatever you can go in and buy in market audiences, or life event audiences, or you can create your own audiences, right. So interest based targeting. So you can go in and it’s called a custom audience. And you can do that through keywords and or URLs of sites that somebody that would be interested in your product or service that you’re trying to promote, would would likely be visiting. And so Google will create your own custom audience based upon the intent criteria or the interest criteria that you set. So now if you’re buying traffic signals from a real relevant audience, that is has a true or genuine interest in the product and or service that you’re trying to promote. Then now you’re getting that activity relevance trust and authority signals, right art that we always talk about to you directly to your properties. And then if they decide to engage by liking, sharing, whatever commenting, then now you’ve got an even heavier weighted signal than just buying spam social signals from general profiles out there that you know have no true affinity or interest in any one thing. That makes sense. It’s a heavier weighted signal is my point. So again, I don’t know I haven’t tested any spam social signals in years I just stopped using them years ago because I didn’t see any any benefit in them. So I just don’t know if anything has changed. I can’t imagine that they’ve gotten any stronger though. So I mean, there is some benefit there is to like jumpstart, but if it’s not replaced by real signals, it just dies. That’s that’s what I’ve seen. I don’t know some people I don’t I know that I see them in Facebook. Sometimes they say that they have success with spamming all of these things. I see it I see it I see the kickstart and then I see it diet because you guys know I’ll test some fiber I’ll take us I’ll go and buy some I’ll go and see someone say okay, Pinterest, good enough for AdSense I’ll go check it out Pinterest or this traffic or that traffic good enough it is and I’ll go test it out. But no, no, no, it never has the power or the effect or the ability to make your money like real ads real people interested in whatever it is that you’re doing.
How Do You Market Niche Sites With GMB?
Okay, so next question says I have a shopping cart website that is the root domain however, I decided to diversify my website to create sub directory blogs using WordPress to create different niches. I have 50 WordPress niche blogs and directories. How do I market my niche sites with GMB?
Uh, well, you know, local is relative, we talked about that or Marco always says that.
I don’t know how much I can talk about it here because yeah, you’re saying no, no, I don’t know how much we can talk about it here but I would suggest either joining the heavy hitter club for local GMB pro. You get access to the Facebook group, but then you’d be able to get questions answered on how to apply that on a national level as well. But you can you can do a lot of really cool things with GMBs, it doesn’t have to be like a strictly local business, right.
I still think I don’t know. Because I don’t know exactly what your setup here is. But you know, 50 word. That’s a lot of damn WordPress blogs to be maintaining. So I’m not I don’t I don’t know what you’re doing with that. But yeah, again, I’m sorry, I can’t really get into detail here.
We talked about how you can use GMB for kind of what Marco was talking about at the very beginning of this webinar. First. There’s some really powerful things you can do with GMB on even a national or even a global scale. For even, you know, projects or businesses that aren’t technically local businesses. It makes sense to have a GMB because of some of the things that you can do with that. That’s about as far as I can take it in a free setting like this. Come join the mastermind or heavy hitter club or local GMB pro and we’d be happy to give you a lot more guidance on that. This the method that I’m using right now how I’m using the local GMB. Okay, let’s make this clear. Local GMB Pro, I’m still using to get fantastic results locally, that hasn’t changed. The only thing that’s changed about local GMB pro and why we have not updated the training is that you need to fill out as much of the information as possible before you send for that pin. If you’re going to get a pin. That’s it. That’s the only thing so that you never have to go back and change that information. because that’ll get you suspended sometimes not often not not everyone, not always, but it does get get you suspended.
So when we go and tell you optimize your information, get it to 100% including images, local, whatever you can get in there, so that you never have to go back so that you can then focus on the other things that we teach in local GMB Pro. And I’m not going to go into what we teach in local GMB Pro. that to this day is getting me fantastic results. But then I started thinking, because I always do well how then do I use this in other ways? And I did. And so now I’m using it.
But the only place that I’m teaching this is in the heavy hitter club right now.
Because I want people to come back like like on what was it last? Last night? on our mini mastermind? Someone came and said, Look, I was stuck with a client. I couldn’t figure out what to do. I went and I used your GMB method. And within three days,
I was ranking him. I wasn’t I was getting the results that I needed for him. Because he was the client was complaining. So three days. And it’s that quick. Why? Because posts, they they still index almost automatically, yeah, almost immediately.
And then they stay in there in the mobile index. And then Google gives you notifications on desktop that your post is about to expire. It doesn’t. It’s still there, it’s still in that role in search. And so if you understand it, see, the reason why I don’t want to give most of this away is because someone just take it off for the training from our ship and say it’s there. So I’m not going to do that. I’m sorry, come to our group. And I’ll be more than happy to cover this for you. If you have any questions. I’ll be happy to go over them with you so that you can get the best results possible, not only nationally, but you can go globally. You can go regionally. You can you can use it however you want. It just takes just a little bit of tweaking. That’s all. So there you go. heavy hitter club. That’s your best bet for that.
How Do You Show Line Of Products In GMB?
Also on GMB, how do I show my line of products? Well, depending on what type of GMB It is like in other words, what type of category business category you select. You ought to be able to add products into your GMB for example, you know, even some of the contractor GMB profiles have a section for services that you can add and also a section for products which I’m not even sure why because some of these contractors don’t have products that they sell. It’s just services yet. Some of them still have a products tab available in GMB and I’ve never, I’ve never added a product to GMB just because none of my clients actually sell products. They just sell services. So I’ve not even explored that tab in GMB. But I know there’s one there. So I you know, I don’t know what category you’re in. But it’s likely that you will have a product tab in GMB. And you can just go in and add products there as far as I know. Have you any experience with that or not? Oh, yeah, yeah. Not all GMB’s have products. And not all GM bees have services. Right? It’s really interesting Google, the Google give us and the Google taketh away. And you just have to work with whatever it is that they’ve given you. If you’re in a niche when you do have a product or when you’re expected to have a product line, then you will have a product tab available. And then you have to go to the process of getting approved. Because there is a process that you have to follow when you when you’re inserting them. And then they have to get approved. Once that happens, then it’s you just keep adding them if you have new products, or you just keep promoting a product, it’s really that simple. Yeah. And it’s cool, because I know it’ll, it’ll push a featured snippet or a rich snippet, I should say in the Knowledge Graph or the excuse me knowledge panel with products that creates like a little product carousel, right.
So kind of like the GMB posts. So it’s pretty cool.
By the way, I meant to show this to you earlier, Marco, I’m not going to pull it up. Now, because we’re on Hump Day Hangouts. I’ll talk about it maybe in the mastermind, but a structured data, having the structured data on a local page, like it’s really cool. Now, when I do a brand search for a particular company, like I’ve got Not only do I have knowledge panel on the right, but at the very top, I have position zero. Now it’s a it’s a cool Rich Snippet for the brand name with the featured image from that, that landing page. It’s really cool. Like, that’s the first time I saw it was today. So not only is there a knowledge panel, but there’s also a position zero or rich snippet. position zero record snippet. Yeah. And that’s just from having proper structured data on the page.
How Do You Deal With A Suspended Drive Stack Or GSite?
So anyways, next question was what would your plan? What would be your plan in the event a drive stack or G site was reported in suspended? You know, I’ve not had I’ve not experienced that.
If I did, I would try to request reconsider reinstatement, right.
And here’s my logic for that. Why would a drive stack or G site, especially the G site be reported and suspended? I mean, it’s a real site, right? I mean, like, unless you’re doing something incredibly spammy with it, which we do a lot of that too. It’s a real site, why would it get suspended? You know what I mean? Like, my question is, like, it might have been reported in suspended because it might be Google’s default to just suspend shit when people complain about stuff, which is, you know, canceled culture. At its at its best. But my point is, I would I would dispute it is my an ask, try to get it reinstated first.
  If you can’t get it reinstated, which again, I’m not sure why. It doesn’t make sense to me for somebody be able to report something in or decide to just be taken down unless you’ve been doing some really, really spammy shit with it. But I don’t know. What do you think Marco, the only time I’ve seen what suspended was when when we had meta refresh. And it was to what they call it a forum, right? a contact form. Because that’s phishing, Google takes that especially you can’t go from a contact form on Google to somewhere else, you can’t go from Google, especially meta refresh, to a form because that’s, that’s a recognized form of phishing, we got tagged for that, we got suspended, that you got to understand we’ve built 1000s, literally 1000s of these 1000s. And I have member, Paul, if I’m not gonna mention his last name, but he was begging us to get one taken down because the government was on them. They were on his brother, he was, he was supposed to take it down, he had to take it down. And he couldn’t get in there. And so even reporting it, even trying to get it suspended. And he couldn’t do it. I don’t know what finally happened. All of you listening to this, let us know what happened with that with a decided drive stack. Because he lost access to it is what happened, he lost the logins, whatever it was, and he couldn’t get back in to put a private as it was. I’m not laughing at you, man. I’m just laughing at the situation. He was in a situation where his brother was in real trouble. And we couldn’t get in there to do anything for him. Google just wouldn’t allow it. And they would not suspend it. So looking at this scenario, it isn’t likely that someone’s going to come along and report you anyway. And if they do, Google trust itself, we bank on that. I think we literally place all of our money on Google trusting itself. Proven is that theory, by the way. And so I don’t I don’t see this. And in the event that Google suspends it, we have the software to put it back up somewhere else.
Yeah. Oh, yeah. And that’s all I would say is, you know, if I were to lose one, I just rebuild it. Right? I mean, I would rebuild it i i’d have it rebuilt, so to speak. So but um, you know, that kind of stuff does happen occasionally. Not not. I’ve not seen a G site. I’ve seen I’ve seen a Google account suspended. Yeah.
But not the actual, just that, you know, drive stack in G site itself.
What Does The Embeds Products In MYGB Means?
Alright, heads up, says I understand what an actual embed is. I just don’t understand what or how embed packages from MGYB works. I already had my SEO shield, I did a natural link building package. I’m curious about embeds. Now, are these embeds on your network? slash sites? Yeah. So our link building network, Daddy, our link building manager has been, you know, building that network and feeding it with additional sites and theming them. So we have like, categorized link, you know, web 2.0 networks that we use for that he uses for building links so that we can, you know, there’s topical relevancy in the blogs that we’re using to build links back to your target URLs. So with the embed package, okay, so you understand the link building side, right? So he’s got, what over 2 million now? He’s got it, I’ll have to ask whatever. He’s got millions, a million plus web to Dotto sites that networks that are themed aged, topically, you know, themed in the topic, cat topical categories, excuse me. And when you buy a link building package, he goes out and places, you know, relevant articles on those web two Dotto paid sites, you know, and with link building, you know, tart with links pointing to your target URLs, whatever you submit it. Okay, so you understand that? Well, the embeds is the exact same network. The only difference is instead of pointing links from the articles on those web two Dotto networks to your target URLs. Instead, you take the iframe the he he takes the iframe, the embed code, and embeds that in those articles on those web two dot o pages. And then you can link build that as the second tier, right? You link build to those pages or posts on those web two dot o networks where your properties or assets are embedded. Does that make sense? So in other words, instead of having a hyperlink on the web two dot o network, pointing to your target URLs, instead, your properties, whatever you submitted, your embed codes are embedded into those posts on the web to auto network. So they’re surrounded by relevant content on themed networks. And then if you order the second tier link building to the embeds, then the the then there’s link building done to those posts on those web two Dotto networks where your embeds sit. Does that make sense?
All right. comments on that? Not good enough. He says, What am I actually buying when I buy embed packages? Like what’s the deliverable I get from MGYB team when buying links straightforward. When buying links, straightforward, I get a spreadsheet of links Buying Event sort of confused on what the end product is, it’s the same thing, you get the exact same type of report that you do from a link building report, if you click So again, if you buy, you know, whatever 2500 and beds, then you’re going to get a G sheet, a Google Sheet that has your 2500 embed URLs, where you can click through and go view the post or page, whatever, where your embed your iframe resides. Does that make sense? So again, it’s that you get the exact same type of report, as you would a link building report. It’s the same network. So.
Is Syndwire And Other Social Bookmarks Still Useful To Get Social Signals For The Website?
Okay, hopefully that clears that up for you. The next question is, are old tools like Syndwire and other social bookmarks still useful for anything in SEO? Or to get social signals for our websites? If so, what’s a good way to get different signals from places like Reddit, Twitter, Twitter, etc? I don’t know. I stopped using those tools a long, long time ago.
I’m sure I still have Syndwire somewhere, because I had, I had hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of probably well over 1000 profiles in there. And I used it quite a bit. But that was years ago, I stopped using that stuff years and years ago.
I don’t know I honestly I can’t answer that. It would probably those tools can probably be useful for like building links to your tier one entity assets or to you know, use them as second tier or third tier links to stuff. I don’t know that I would do it directly to the money site. In fact, I wouldn’t do it directly to the money site, g site.
Yeah, drive stack prop profiles, and tier one entity assets, stuff like that. I just I don’t run any of those tools just because it’s too time consuming for me. And I don’t really enjoy doing that kind of stuff. There’s probably a use for them, but I don’t use them. What do you think Marco? I haven’t used bookmarking sites other than what’s in our syndication network in forever. Yeah, because we get really good results. By the way, we’re attacking the entity and we’re the way that we do things. I mean, it’s just the results are there and there’s no reason to go and get anything extra and when we do need extra power, we can go get it elsewhere, rather than from a bookmarking sites not to say that there’s anything wrong with that. I don’t know enough anymore about social bookmarking or bookmarking sites, and whether they have SEO value to tell you whether they do. So I’m not knocking them. I’m not saying I’m just saying I don’t use them.
Yeah.
Okay, uh, if so what’s a good way to get different signals from places like Reddit, Twitter central? Well, we talked about that, in the beginning of today, you know, paid traffic from relevant audiences from those platforms is the best way to do it. You know, it’s because you’re buying real traffic that is from relevant audience that, you know, stands a good chance of actually converting of whatever your conversion goal may be to become an opt in a lead, request an estimate by a product, whatever your conversion goal is. So that’s just the way that I do it also. Alright.
Is There Any Other Use For Tools Like MTurk For SEO?
Next, in the webinar from last week, somebody mentioned CTR, which click through rate using mturk Mechanical Turk, which is effective, which isn’t effective much now. Is there any other tools any other use for tools like em Turk for SEO? I don’t know. Because I don’t use that for anything else.
Like micro task workers was one of them. I can’t mturk Mechanical Turk, which is an Amazon company, same thing. It’s like micro task workers. It’s a micro task platform. I used it specifically for CTR spam, right for manipulating click through rate. But that was years ago, because then then it was automated by a lot of these spam bots, these CT spam bots. And now I just use paid traffic. So I don’t know, I don���t know what else. I mean, if you’ve got small tasks that you need repetitive tasks that can you cannot, you know, hire somebody to do like through something like that, then then I’m sure there might be some other uses for it. But it’s, it’s been a long time since I’ve hired any micro task workers. So can’t really give you any guidance on that. Anybody know? Okay.
Would You Advise Linking City Pages From The Homepage And To Each Other?
Austin, Dom, what’s up, man? He says, would you advise linking the city pages for the from the homepage, and then linking city pages to each other? This is for a site with about 10 or 15 to 15 or so city pages, I would not. And the reason why I wouldn’t do that. Now linking From the homepage to individual city pages that may be fine, depends on you know what it is you’re trying to do. But for example, like if you had like a locations tab in the navigation menu, and you hover over that tab, and it’s a drop down, and it’s got you know, 10 City, landing like 1010, you know, 10 links to go in each city page, that may be fine, why I wouldn’t link from one city page to another, I mean, you may be able to get away with it, there has to, I need more context to be able to provide any guidance on that. Because the way that I do things again, Austin dawn, you can go to semantic mastery comm slash process, which you’ve probably already seen that by now. But if you haven’t go through that, go go to the website tab and click watch the training, I talked about silo structure, and specifically location silos using tags within WordPress.
And the reason so I wouldn’t be linking between cities cross linking from one city page to another because I silo my locations into location based silos. And so if I want to link from one location silo to another for user experience for navigation purposes, that which makes sense, right? That’s logical in some cases to do that, then I would do that with a nofollow link so that I’m not bleeding the theme of that location silo into another because that creates confusion, right? ambiguity between silos between topical themes, in this case, their location based themes. Does that make sense? So I wouldn’t do that I would have a silo structure on my main money site, there. And again, semantic mastery comm slash process, you’ll see exactly what I’m talking about. I use categories for topical silos, and tags for location based silos. And I keep all of my silos incredibly tight, all the internal linking between them, because as Mark was talking about at the beginning of this webinar, and again, go look at that Majestic blog post that I posted earlier talking about the link graphs, and if you understand how to amass or accrue power in certain spots, and then how to direct that power through very targeted points. And again, silo structures, how you can accomplish that, then you understand why you wouldn’t want to cross link between location pages, because you can essentially bleed any power from any one silo to where it’s kind of like it becomes more of a flat site. In other words, you ambigua each one of the topical themes from each silo, and I wouldn’t want to do that. But again, without having more context, I can’t give you real solid guidance on that. Hopefully that didn’t confuse anybody. Mark, do you want to comment on that?
Yeah, I just wouldn’t, I just wouldn’t because
I hate having to answer these things. It’s not the way that I silo is that the way that I would recommend siloing? I don’t recommend breaking up the way that it’s siloed. If you want further insight into that, you’re welcome to join me in the heavy hitter club where we go in depth into why you don’t want to do that.
Yeah.
Is There Any SEO Benefit To Google Redirects?
Okay, the next question is, is there any SEO benefit to Google redirects? Like? Yes, there is I can’t disclose why. But there is absolutely a benefit to that.
Guys, you don’t have to come here and ask us. Try it. Yeah.
Yeah, I see how it works. I can’t disclose why I’m here, because that’s an RYS Academy secret.
I can’t disclose that here. There. There is absolutely a benefit to using that link that that URL format, but it’s a redirect from Google, but only if you know how to use it correctly. And that is taught in our ys Academy. So I can’t share that here. We vote we’ve always had this power in using Google to rank in Google rank your shit Academy. rank your shit Academy reloaded? The foundation of it all? is Google trust Google. So we’re going to go and we’re going to draw as much power as we can out of Google. And anytime that you can find a Google property to manipulate just learn to manipulate it. That’s it. Yeah, that’s concept.
Which Server Do You Use?
So there’s bb. It’s not too many questions, BB. Baby. He says, Hey, guys, which server do you use? I used to I use either liquidweb. While you I mean, I use both. I use liquidweb. And I use WP x hosting.
I like both of them. And also for a lot of like tests. I use siteground reseller for like, a lot of like test sites, and, you know, like feeder sites and things like not necessarily PBNs, I could use it for that. But that I wouldn’t put money sites on siteground. Not Not, not reseller hosting for sure. But um, for money sites, I use liquid web or web hosting.
Yeah, I use liquid and I use AWS, I use Amazon, I use the shit out of Amazon. Everybody does. I don’t know how anyone can go without using Amazon nowadays. But if it’s something that I really care about, where like, I don’t want to have
What do you call it? Someone that goes that has to go into the server, I don’t want to have to pay someone, I want to just pay someone to go and talk to the liquid web support. From that fantastic you go you call them. They’ll do whatever it is that you need them to do. They’ll help you with whatever help you need. Those people, I don’t know how they do it. But I can’t recommend them enough. You have to speed you got a VPS By the way, and then you can just keep upgrading, you can upgrade to a dedicated server. But you’ll never need to pay somebody else something someone outside of liquid web to come and work on the server because they’ll do it. You can’t lose. By the way, look at the list of clients who use liquid web and you’ll understand why we use liquid whey. Yeah, and I mean again, I just want to reiterate, I also use WP x I’m really happy with WP x also. That’s Terry Kyle is behind that and their support is fantastic a WPX as well it rivals liquid web support.
So again, I’m really really happy with WPX I’ve been I’ve had a you know hosting account with them for like three years, and they keep rolling out new features that don’t cost anything else. Like it’s just they keep adding additional features and their support is super super fast. You can live chat like almost instantaneously. So it’s just it’s a really good service. So either one or the other. Both of them I endorse both. Alright, so then the next question is what is happening with Virginia SEO so you’re probably talking about the SEO or excuse me the the first drive stack that I ever built the crude one from the Virginia SEO project from May 2015. I went in about I don’t know five or six weeks ago and made some changes to it. And it tanked
yeah did it thank you I don’t even know if it’s in the I haven’t looked at it in a few weeks but I know a few weeks ago it was it wasn’t even on page one anymore I can guarantee is still fresh paid I don’t even have to look it can’t have fallen off that much yeah did it did let’s let’s do the search right now man up I’ll put my money where my mouth go. I mean, maybe one of the keywords there was few several variations that I just use SEO virgin it just go to the top i o virgin SEO.
Okay, they’re using schema bamboo marketing. They’re now benefiting. See, this is a site. No, that’s not mine.
Using a G site, look at that. Yeah, somebody else’s. Okay. But this big bamboo that’s pushed by by all that that is Yeah. And that that might have been one one. So I did I went in and made some changes to it because I said, You know what, I ought to probably go in and make some updates to this and then, but honestly, it was it was it was just because I had some spare time, which is I don’t want anymore at the time when I went into play with it. And after I made those changes it tanked. I was like, Oh shit. And I honestly it was I don’t? I am not looking for.
Look at that. It’s not even on page two. Oh, so you killed it. You killed Virginia steel. Yeah, no, I mean, I think it’s still indexed. But they’re not. Bradley, shame on you. Yeah. And it was it was funny because like, honestly, I’m not interested in spending any time on trying to revive that, because it was great to point to for examples of how powerful drive stacks can be. But I went in and made some changes, like I said, there it is right there. So on Virginia SEO agency, it’s at the bottom of page two. And I promise you remember guys, it stayed ranking for five over five years, about five and a half years. And I did nothing to it, no link building nothing and went up about six or eight months ago, when I noticed it had dropped three or four spots from number one down to like, you know, four or five, for several keywords, I did one freakin press release. And it pushed it right back up to number one for about four or five months. And then I went in and made some changes. So like I said, if I wanted to spend some time on this, or money for that matter, not even time I could just buy some link building gigs to this and probably push it back up. But it was used for nothing other than just as as a as a, you know, something to show. I don’t, I will not take just general SEO clients anymore at all. So if I was when I because I did generate leads from that. But I won’t, you know, now unless they’re a Tree Service contractor, I flat out won’t even quote anybody. So like, there’s really no point in me spending any time or money on that site anymore. I’m working on a national project right now that I will share when the time is appropriate. And that’ll be you know, kind of the new case study that I’ll run with for Semantic Mastery for the next several years. Because it’s a it’s the biggest project I’ve ever worked on in my digital marketing career. And I’m super excited about it. But I can’t share what that is right now. So I but we can shed defeat flower? Sure you can. We can do that. Well, why don’t you do just let’s do spend another minute and just real quick.
Number one, number two, number two and organic. Thank you. And the other one, the root domain, the self hosted domain for that same project. So number four, inorganic decide those got a proper drive stack and, and a property site. One of those is the G site which outperforms everything. So there you go. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. And sometimes you have Bradley breaking shit. Yeah. But for five and a half years, other than like I said about six or eight months ago, I did one press release because it dropped about middle of page one, after five years with no link building nothing. It was a number one position and every now and it would bounce to like number two or number three, but for four or five main keywords, it was always ranked number one for years. And what’s funny is some of those competitors now that are have Google sites listed on page one, I promise you that they went and either bought drive stacks from us or reverse engineered and built exact replicated what I did and those were other SEO Virginia SEO agencies that did that. So for five years, I was ranked number one with no link building no press releases nothing from a very crude SEO shield, and wasn’t even called that a drive stack that I built. It wasn’t built properly wasn’t interlinked properly. And there was nothing done to it. So
I’m a believer.
And I’m gonna remain a believer. I don’t care if it’s dropped to page two. Now when I haven’t done anything Well, again, I edited it and I shouldn’t have So anyway, that was it. I think we got to all the questions today. No, I think they’ll beautiful. Well, thanks for being here, guys. We will see you all

What is BUDDY-SCAPE
Let’s face it, Mark Fuckerberg is a bitch, and when I say “bitch” I mean he has a feminine look about him, not that I’m slating LGBT, if anything I’m all for it! Happy pride month to all those involved btw, neither am I slating women or being sexist, I love my wife very much, including my 3 mother’s and my adopted daughter, but yea, Fuckerberg is a complete ponce, he couldn’t organise a gangbang in a convent, Facebook may be an overall site for people to come and chat and make new friends, or is it? Ok let’s recap on the flaws with Facebook. 1-nudes There has been many complaints in the past where women have had conversations with a man they only just fucking met, next thing they know their inboxes or pms have been inundated with pics of the phallic symbol! No decent self respecting lady wants to see it, put it away or chop it off! 2-bullying Let’s be honest, we all have our share of enemies right? But you just wanna go online and chat. Unfortunately despite your privacy settings, the only option you have is the ignore messages features, but should you one day check your other message box to see if let’s say, a long lost family member who is not on your buddy list tries to contact you they can only get through on that other inbox, they don’t have a phone number or email address for you yet so what do they do? So you go check to see if they get in touch and bang, before you know it, your enemies have found you and your pms are full of hate-FUCKING FAIL. 3-Facebook is possibly the most controlling and manipulative of social media ever to hit this planet! Some people just want to make new friends, even with strangers, After all that’s how you make friends in the first place, The olive branch is delivered, the recipient decides to accept, and from there can determine a whole new social relationship, be it common ground, interests or hobbies right? On the other hand not everybody was to be social with strangers and may feel uncomfortable with that hand of friendship so they just may decline politely and walk away! Now Facebook is like that, But they got Add or Block. Now You will get some that will accept others might block you, But sometimes the Facebook algorithm will not even let you add people you have known for years, it will often issue warnings and if you try to make too many new friends it will restrict your account by what we often call Facebook jail, which is an algorithm put in place to limit people’s activity on this site, so really it’s the kind of social network that won’t let you be social. And who wants to be told who they can and can’t have as friends? Not something a British person wants to be told by an American is it? There is also a freedom of speech issue on here. Nobody wants to be trolled or told what to do by politically correct morons. But because of strict features in place on this site you can’t have an opinion, I have noticed incidents where someone has posted a perfectly innocent comment or photo on here, And some spiteful troll has reported it! Thing is Facebook is all automated, it doesn’t have moderators doing a Santa clause watching for who is naughty or nice, it has a bunch of codes and algorithms that tell it that. Or does it? People have been reported for posting something perfectly harmless as a pet pic or something else innocent, but along comes some spiteful bastard and it gets taken down for violating community standards! But you will get some dolly bird with a selfie showing a bit too much, and you try to report it, Facebook comes back with, it doesn’t go against our community standards, How fucked up is that? Now the upsides to Facebook jail is if you get a bully or someone doing something inappropriate on there they are sent to Facebook jail! Only problem is they are let out later to re-offend! 4-Inbox or Pm I have to give Facebook it’s due, It does completely filter out porn or nudity on the timeline,you try to post anything sexual on your main wall, be sure it will be taken down. But what about the personal messages? Five gets you ten that some of you or most of you on
here have had some kind of outside harrasment in PM! You have had porn bots, nudes,threats or other kinds of unpleasant stuff, you try to report it but before you get a chance to screen shot it as evidence, your cyber assailant has removed the message via this new fucking un-send button! Now un-send is quite handy if 1-you sent a pm to wrong person 2-you had a typing error Or 3-you sent a file or msg in error. But let me tell you the problem with it. As stated if you have had for example some perve showing off his dick, before you can get a chance to screenshot and report it he romved it, so really the un-send button is not very helpful! 5-privacy Facebook has had repeated issues regarding human rights and privacy. There’s been numerous reports where your data and accounts are leaked to third parties, this is unacceptable. 6-bots These are bloody pests that spam your inbox linking you to paid porn sites, scams or malicious content and malware and all because Facebook leaked your private data! Media Facebook never seems to pay much attention if you post your favourite music via YouTube. But what if you want to share a favourite song on your timeline in the form of an MP3? And why not? It worked for MySpace users! But try to do it on Facebook and they come down on you like a ton of bricks regarding copyright warnings! Now what puzzles me is years ago when Facebook was less than its greater size, they used to have a feature called sound bytes, you could upload an mp3 on Facebook, but then they took it off, they also took away good stuff like when they used to have an active chatroom app, bit strips and a few other kool apps they decided to fuck right off! And after all if you are just posting an mp3 of a song you like on your wall, and you don’t plan to make profit from it, then wtf is all this copyright bullshit anyway? 7-safety I personally don’t feel that Facebook is completely safe for anybody to be honest. It doesn’t have appropriate safeguards. Trolls will attack you sometimes on group pages just for having an opinion, and admins to not always take much notice, and if you get an admin that is in agreement with the trolls you are screwed! In the past Facebook has been a haven for Islamic groups to radicalise others on here to join terrorist networks and still is today! Facebook has been subject to crime related posts before now! 8-video calling Now this feature always bothered me. Ok you can go live on your timeline where your friends can see, but did you know other people can see you even if you don’t have your settings on public? This is because of privacy leakage and cyber criminals know your every move! Video in inbox is even worse, It’s a haven for perverts to put on a show and again is monitored by cyber criminals! This is why Skype and zoom are probably your best bet when video calling, sometimes WhatsApp and TikTok are not completely safe! 9 Lack of features I noticed that Facebook is kind of drying up when it comes to games and apps,also at the time it had an active chatroom, only thing is it was driven by flash player which generally now is obsolete! 10-ads All wel and good I suppose if you want to advertise a business to hundreds of people on Facebook yet it very seldom regards this as spam, or you will get the odd troll complaining that it is, yet if you try to post your service in multiple groups, Facebook will attribute this to spam and restrict you. This is because Facebook monetises itself with ads from all kinds of sources in and out of itself! So you dare not try to promote outside their promote ads feature-FAIL! So do you still love Facebook now? But consider this! Before you go slating something by someone, ignoring it or scrolling past it because your ego is to high and you think you are too good to sit up and take notice, I want you to bear something in mind! Now regardless of my 10 thoughts on the negative side of Facebook I can’t tell others not to go on it or twist their fucking arms up there backs to go elsewhere, But theres always this thing where you give something a
chance or a trial, and you never know you might actually like it, but if you don’t then at least you took it into account! There’s a lot of ignorance out there from people that slam something or dismiss it just because it’s something not well known, but if I recall right Mark Zuckerberg had not bargained on Facebook becoming the social giant it is now, he essentially developed it just as a network to go on the pull or for hookups! But look at it now, we all have to start somewhere right? So here goes! Imagine a new social network that does not control you. Would never tell you your limits unless you did something inappropriate. Would never allow porn anywhere. A network that has superior features such as apps, games,upload ability for audio and video, with new content added everyday? A network that you control. So I hereby present to you. BUDDYSCAPE What is Buddyscape? Buddyscape is an all new social network from the UK It was founded as a hobby just to see if I had what it took to build a social network, And make it run! It’s really only just starting out,so it’s not really well populated yet but who knows? Time will tell,always does! Rome was not built in a day but all roads lead to it! Features:- 1-No ads, porn or bots! 2-100% Non profit, all services are free! 3- No annoying ads! 4-Buddyscape is monitored by real people-yes real human beings! Non of this stupid bloody code stuff, but although we cannot monitor your private chats, We do expect you to tell us if something is wrong! 5-No Facebook jail here-just 3 warnings and an instant ban thereafter! 6-better safety This goes for adults and minors, if anybody feels somebody is making them uncomfortable or unsafe then one word from you will result in an instant ban,And thanks to no un-send feature you have ample time to screenshot evidence and send it to us for examination from the appropriate authorities! 7- Privacy is paramount We do not use your personal data We do not sell it or pass it on! We don’t even use bloody cookies! 8-No video calling This is more of a safety feature than anything else, And should be regarded as a better experience for both adults and children, and as we do not monitor private chats we can’t tell what is going on, although the lack of video calling features on Buddyscape may deter some from wanting to join, It will also deter those who have sexual intentions toward adults and children. And with other video calling apps like zoom or Skype it’s not really important for it to be there! 9-Friendly to all devices and easy to navigate! There isn’t an app of this on AppStore or play store right now, but one is in process of development! That being said, Buddyscape is fully mobile and tablet friendly with all features running as they should! 10-content Buddyscape has Apps, Games and a chatroom with content updating almost every day! You may upload any music or media you like as long as it is relatively clean! Also includes Spotify integration! See Terms and conditions when signing up. Any questions? Give me a shout!

Mounting a Fringe Show with Boys Taste Better With Nutella
You guys. I am so excited to share this episode with you. I sit down with two creative powerhouses Kristen Maloney and Peter Wood. Kristen is a producer, writer, director and casserole lover. Peter is an actor, writer, and dramaturg, and can turn anything into brilliant choreography.
To make sure that you don’t miss an ounce of the goodness that Peter and Kristen give, I have created a TRANSCRIPT which you can find in our Facebook Group and on the TNC website as of 5/9/19. Oh yes, I paid trint some money and now you can literally copy and paste a list together of all the documentation you will need to apply for a hub, the things that the Nutella crew have learned about marketing a fringe show, and so much more! This is part one of two, so stay tuned for even more invaluable information about how to make your fringe show happen.
Boys Taste Better With Nutella will be at Melbourne Fringe Festival 13 to 21 September and tickets are $29 OR LESS. It is a brilliant show, I have seen it in varying stages and loved it at all of them. And yes, yes I absolutely will be booking a plane ticket to see it tour in 2020. That is how good this show is. I am booking a $200 plane ticket to see a $29 show and sip $18 cocktails. Living my best life and all that.
Tell us what you think of the episode! Show the Nutella crew some love by heading to their instagram account and sharing a post, you will never believe how much those three taps help get them seen online.
Keep well,
-Paula
EPISODE NOTES:
Things We Mentioned
.....
Fringe vs Curated is something we discussed briefly on mic, but which I have thought about a LOT since. Here are two cool articles on the topic that I enjoyed.
This is one from Artshub, and Australian arts publication that is a must for creatives in this country (CHECK THEM OUT THEY HAVE REALLY USEFUL STUFF). The articles focuses on Melbourne Fringe, which where our Nutella crew are headed!
https://www.artshub.com.au/festival/news-article/opinions-and-analysis/festivals/simon-abrahams/why-fringe-festivals-are-the-centre-point-of-our-culture-255724
This one is a really insightful article from the of Dublin Fringe Festival which goes into the politics of fringe festivals more, partly because that is the Dublin Fringe festival’s MO

.....
Peter mentioned he hadn’t had a break since May; we recorded this episode back in July, so while that is still a long time, it’s 2ish months not 3. But still definitely send him some nice messages on Insta
.....
Moreblessingma, AKA Moreblessing Maturure, is an activist, actor, writer, speaker, and has a goddamn TEDtalk (which 100% distracted me from editing this episode TWICE). Watch it (right now) here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PlrduXFtUQk
Find her on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/moreblessingma/?hl=en
.....
Boys Taste Better With Nutella won best actor, best script, best production at Short and Sweet QLD back in 2016, and a development at the Brisbane Powerhouse to turn it into a full length show. You should absolutely book tickets right now, the link is down below!

Public liability insurance is “designed for professionals who interact with customers or members of the public. It protects against claims of personal injury or property damage that a third party suffers (or claims to have suffered) as a result of your business activities,” – Aon Insurance. Find out what they have to say about it here: https://business-insurance.aon.com.au/Public-Liability-Insurance
I am in no way associated with Aon, nor am I recommending them btw, they just had a good quick definition.
.....
A certificate of currency is just a certificate that proves your insurance is current, and it includes a few details about your policy and what is covered by it.
.....
An omni-channel approach means that you use a variety of channels to execute your marketing campaign. These channels are different types of media: social media, flyers, print ads, radio spots, creating content like youtube videos, etc. Read a little more about what it is, how to implement it, and get some examples here: https://www.emarsys.com/resources/blog/multi-channel-marketing-omnichannel/
.....
Fleabag by Phoebe Waller-Bridge is a one-woman show which you absolutely have to see if you ever get the chance. This is a sublime character study of “some sort of woman living her some sort of life” as Melbourne’s Malthouse theatre said in it’s blurb when Fleabag was part of the Melbourne Fringe Festival. Read the blurb and some really great reviews here: https://malthousetheatre.com.au/whats-on/fleabag
