15 of you showed up.
Probably bored out of your minds but thanks for coming anyway.
Some idiot had the recording settings wrong, nothing got recorded.
Oops.
Cliffs:
Seeing lots of HCU and other recently hit sites displaying tons of scraper site links, many of them hotlinked images.
Maybe your alt text is getting treated as an anchor, worth investigating/testing further.
If not the alt text, then it's the page title as an anchor...which could be fine until you start building 'Stop Word Exact Match' page titles...
'Seven Best Widgets To Make Lily Ray Stop Outing'
Etc..
I'm not seeing these links on sites that are still ranking much better, could be correlation but I'd want to eliminate it as causation before ignoring it.
Sites that got hit had lots of exact match internal links.
Link whisper style.
We went over my exact disavow process, it's not complicated. I'll loom that section again and provide it in the future.
Then a much more interesting (for me) Q&A session that covered a wide range of topics.
If you attended, you have access to that part.
Sorry about the recording, I know some of you wanted to listen again.
Will try it again in the near future, maybe just straight Q&A style.
Cheers,
Grind
P.S. https://clients.grindstoneseo.com, make my team work all weekend. Links and consulting, if that's your fancy.
