2 county workers take 5th – Thu, 22 May 2014 PST

Two Spokane County building employees invoked their Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination this week in a case that accuses the county of improperly back-dating documents to allow construction of a gas station where a state board ruled it was notallowed.

The county workers testified Monday during an appeal before the county hearing examiner of a building permit application for a convenience store and gas station at Argonne and Bigelow Gulchroads.

Building Director Randy Vissia, one of the two county employees who invoked his Fifth Amendment rights, said he was advised to not answer questions by a county attorney

Two Spokane County building employees invoked their Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination this week in a case that accuses the county of improperly back-dating documents to allow construction of a gas station where a state board ruled it was notallowed.

The county workers testified Monday during an appeal before the county hearing examiner of a building permit application for a convenience store and gas station at Argonne and Bigelow Gulchroads.

Building Director Randy Vissia, one of the two county employees who invoked his Fifth Amendment rights, said he was advised to not answer questions by a county attorney even though, according to Vissia, his employee, Julie Shatto, had done nothing wrong in approving the permit application as completed. Shatto also declined to answer questions at the hearing involving the date that the application was certified ascomplete.

Property owner and developer Stephen Smart, who was at the hearing to defend his project, said the appellant attorneys were acting like attackdogs.

Local residents and neighborhood groups appealed the county decision to let the project proceed, arguing the project was flawed on several grounds, including environmental review and applicationcompleteness.

Hub Link Building With Majestic SEO

A while back I wrote a piece outlining 78 of my favorite SEO resources. It was fairly well received and based on some of the questions I received I thought it wise to do a few articles outlining how I use some of the features of these tools.

This post will look at how to build links around industry hubs using Majestic SEO's Clique Hunter. For those who are more familiar with Ahrefs, Majestic's Clique Hunter is similar to the Domain Comparison tool (in their Labs section).

I use a wide variety of tools ranging from free add-ons like SEO Quake to custom developed tools for more specific needs. However, Majestic has been one of the core paid tools we rely on for some time now. The reason for this is they have a sizable index of links, and in this case at least, size matters a lot! The bigger it is, the better you can use it.

So let's get to it. Here's how you can use Majestic SEO's Clique Hunter to find hubs and secure links.

Before we get into how to use the tool we should probably cover why. Let's think about what the Clique Hunter produces and what it represents.

By following the steps outlined below you'll be provided with a list of domains that link to multiple top-ranking competitors for a specific term. So let's think about that for a moment. A domain linking to 5 of the top 5 ranking sites, that does not link to you, is likely:

Now, it has to be noted in advance that simply because a site appears in Clique Hunter doesn't mean it's good. In a world where we fight for every link and where relevancy and context are increasingly important, every mechanism to increase the odds of a solid lead on a link is welcome. We'll discuss this more later on, but for now let's cover the steps required to pull some great backlink leads out of the data provided by Majestic SEO.

OK, log yourself into Majestic SEO and the follow these steps.

Because I don't want to list off anything that might be competitive for our readers (or let's face facts, myself or one of our clients) I'm going to go with "seo blog". The top five ranking URLs in the results are:
