Part of the knowledge problem is unlike the early days of SEO where there was very little specialization so a broad knowledge of many things was required. In the modern era there is far more specialization so a little understanding of these skills goes a long ways since specialists often implement the SEO's plan and recommendations. 14:59 Value of Hiring an SEO Agency: It was noted during the discussion of specialists that this was one of the benefits to hiring an SEO agency. 17:53 SEO Myths and Critical Thinking: Back to critical thinking discussion. 27:37 Twitter Chat: Next Bill asked the group about their experiences with Twitter chats. 31:08 NoFollow was Always a Hint not a Command: Bill asked the group their thoughts on the changes to Nofollow and it's replacement. 37:00 YouTube Channel Subscription Program: Steve talked about the subscription service provided by YouTube. 39:52 Contacting Paid Platforms: Discussion about contacting Adwords and Facebook. 43:35 Google's October Core Update: Bill asked if anyone was seeing flux from the October Core update. This update can be expected every year until Google tells us differently.
