In episode 339 of our weekly Hump Day Hangouts, one participant asked if the team has trouble indexing public Google docs.

The exact question was:

Hey guys, are you having trouble indexing Public google docs? I got a public folder from a friend,, so I created a few docs but haven't been indexed and I've tried spamdexing with no docs indexed. This has been tried for the last 2 weeks. The google docs are just random spun content. about 2000 words

In episode 301 of the weekly Hump Day Hangouts by Semantic Mastery, one viewer asked if it is harder to rank Gdocs than a Gsite.

The exact question was:

Hi guys: (bye) : If I want to rank some google property only, say a GDoc only and a GSite. 1) Is it harder to rank gdocs than a giste?

In episode 113 of the weekly Hump Day Hangouts by Semantic Mastery, one viewer asked whether Google has removed the description function for files in Google Docs.

The exact question was:

I saw in RYS Speed that you were adding a description to each Google Doc. But G has changed the look of that site again. I searched online for an hour to find out how. It looks like G removed this feature. Am I wrong (again?) – thanks
