Thursday, November 20, 2008 WebProNews' Mike McDonald caught up with Matt Cutts of Google at the Hofbrau House in Las Vegas during PubCon to get his views on a number of topics. Is Ranking Dead? Cutts said, "I'm not sure I would say ranking is dead but it's not as important as it used to be. The fact is the smart SEOs are not just necessarily looking at the rankings. They are looking at con
In an interview with Matt Cutts at the Las Vegas Pubcon by Mike Mac of WPN, he commented on Bruce Clay saying in his session at the Pubcon that "ranking is dead". Matt commented that it's not really that ranking is dead but more of SEOs today treat rankings not as important as it used to be. SEOs become smarter in the process all these years that they have learned to realize "they are also markete

I recently came across this video Matt Cutts Discusses the Importance of alt Tags
He of course means alt attributes - which is the correct way to refer to 'alt tags'
It's especially relevant to artists as it describes why "alt attributes", are important for images in search engine optimisation (SEO) and why you need to avoid "word stuffing".

Search engines always take into account the title text and keywords used in the URL of a web page while determining rankings of that page in search results. The influence may be small but keywords mentioned in the URL do carry some weight. For instance, if all other factors remain same, a web page at abc.com/iphone-review may rank higher for a search query "iPhone review" than, say, xyz

One of the wonderful things about a search conference like SMX Advanced is that it gives us a chance to finish a lot of things we

At O’Reilly’s Web 2.0 conference, Google’s Matt Cutts talked about spam. You can watch his ten-minute keynote about “What Google Knows About Spam”, and several other keynotes on blip.tv.
It is not a secret for now that spammming pollutes Web sites as well as inboxes of email users. It is a hot topic in many SEO Forums among Web site owners and webmasters and they have taken many steps and actions to combat it that sometimes work an sometimes not. According to post at news.com you can find Google's pointers on countering Web spam from Google's Matt Cutts head of Google's Webspam team and an engineer who's been working on the problem for eight years. During a speech at the Web 2.0 Expo Matt Cutts expalained about countering Web spam as-"Spammers are human," Cutts said. "You have the power to raise their blood pressure.

Most of people were looking for page rank updation by Google since last week of July this year. This was obvious because generally Google PR updation takes place after every 3-4 months and the last PR update held in April of this month.In the first week of August people have seen a little fluctuation in PR and number of backlinks of their sites in some places. But this fluctuation was just happened with fewer sites so people were confused about that PR updation has been completed or still have to complete.Recently last week in October, people again have seen a great fluctuation in PR of their sites and also in their number of backlinks and hope that PR updation has been finished for this time now. and yes people were right as Matt Cutts confirmed Page Rank Update for this time in an email to Search Engine Journal on 29th October.Matt Cutts emailed Search Engine Journal last night to let us know that in fact, the partial Google ‘Toolbar’ PageRank update which happened last week wa

Matt Cutts ha confermato ieri sera con una email al giornale Search Engine Journal che le penalizzazioni effettuate durante l’ultimo aggiornamento del Page Rank sono dovute alla campagna di Google contro la vendita dei link e della pubblicita’ che influenza il Page Rank.
The partial update to visible PageRank that went out a few days ago was primarily regarding PageRank selling and the forward links of sites. So paid links that pass PageRank would affect our opinion of a site.
Going forward, I expect that Google will be looking at additional sites that appear to be buying or selling PageRank.
Questa e’ la prima risposta da parte di Google sulle recenti penalizzazioni.
Inoltre Matt Cutts, nel secondo paragrafo della sua email lancia un monito a tutti coloro che ancora non sono stati colpiti dalle penalizzazioni ricordando che Google continuera’ a cercare i link a pagamento e che quindi le penalizzazioni continueranno.
Nella lettera al giornale non viene menziona
If you are a Google Reader user and wish for nothing more than a true, good offline Google Reader client please read on. If you do not fit those traits, there’s nothing for you to see here. Move along.
Offline reading good? Good. Matt Cutts is conducting an unofficial poll of most desired new feature for Google Reader. Go forth and vote for seamless offline feed reading! (I want this so much that it’s #4 on my list of things I want to see in the new Gmail and I’m not talking about no Google Gears offline reading)
Few days back I went through DP forums and found Matt explaining about the quality of directories. The basis of judging the quality of a directory seems quite logistical to me. But I wondered how google is achieving it. I agree that Matt and his bots are smart and intelligent enough. But I also believe everything can’t be automated.
Do they use a manual editor to scan all the directories to check the following criterias?
“Does the directory reject urls? If every url passes a review, the directory gets closer to just a list of links or a free-for-all link site.”
“If there is a fee, what’s the purpose of the fee? For a high-quality directory, the fee is primarily for the time/effort for someone to do a genuine evaluation of a url or site.”
I know you are feeling worried and even I’m too. :-S
Regarding this comment,
What is the quality of urls in the directory? Suppose a site rejects 25% of submissions, but the urls that are accepted/listed are s
Matt Cutts, the Google engineer and public face of the search engine's spam-fighting team, has posted some SEO tips for bloggers that he first shared in a WordCamp 2007 presentation last month. He's posted his presentation deck, a link to a video and transcript, and links to write-ups of the sessions, so you could conceivably spend the rest of the day today just consuming Matt's words of wisdom in various forms.
Neither is Danny Sullivan. Using Google Trends as a measure of cultural interest, we can clearly see that not only are people significantly less interested in our search engine optimization heroes than VH1 Celebreality stars Paris Hilton and Britney Spears, but that even the popular misspelling of the latter’s name dwarfs Matt Cutts and Danny Sullivan in search volume.
Crying about Google ignoring your keyword stuffed web pages just gives Matt Cutts and the rest of the SEO world something to gleefully mock.
Note: Naughty tricks aimed at gaming the search engines usually backfire as search companies catch on and make adjustments. There’s always someone willing to try something like keyword stuffing. Has that person ever been you (before you knew better, of course)?
It’s a conspiracy, man. The Google hierarchy doesn’t want you to know how to become immortal. It’s totally true, you can read it on the Internet, you just can’t find it through Google, see?
Yeah, we see what you did there, or at least Matt did. Some people will still try old tricks to get noticed by the search engine. Matt highlighted one website whose owner offers the key to immortality (magnetic rings) and one of the more entertaining keyword stuffing examples you’ll see today.
“‘Internal vaginal aphrodisia doping hardware?’ Huh? And
At WordCamp 2007, Matt Cutts suggested the SEO Title Tag plug-in for Wordpress and I have added this plug-in to this blog. It allows for mass editing of title tags for pages, categories, and posts.
Search engines place a great deal of importance on title tags, and while you want your post titles to attract readers, it is optimal to consider Google when creating SEO title tags.

At SMX Advanced on Monday, Matt Cutts talked about our webmaster guidelines. Later, during Q&A, someone asked about adding more detail to the guidelines: more explanation about violations and more actionable help on how to improve sites. You ask -- we deliver! On Tuesday, Matt told the SMX crowd that we'd updated the guidelines overnight to include exactly those things! We work fast around here. (OK, maybe we had been working on some of it already.)So, what's new? Well, the guidelines themselves haven't changed. But the specific quality guidelines now link to expanded information to help you better understand how to spot and fix any issues.

Google considers buying links to be outside of their guidelines and they might take strong actions against that in the future. Matt Cutts indicated that "Google might take action" if webmasters buy links anyway.

(Dark SEO and Matt Cutts supposedly don’t get along. I guess I have’t been following long enought to know much of the details on this.)
Since it is April Fools day, I didn’t think anything of it. But later on, I was checking out my Personalized page where I have setup a couple useful gadgets that help keep me updated on a couple different things including Matt Cutt’s blog. After reading a couple of his most recent blog posts, I became convinced that this was an April Fool’s Day joke. For those of you who don’t have Matt Cutts in your feed readers, I have a screenshot:
On a related note, it seems like the people over at Google have a pretty good sense of humor.
