Great info and some really good clarifications here from Matt Cutts.
Very useful indeed. Thank you.
Awesome. Excellent stuff
Handy to send clients indeed, nice.
Thanks for the share. Always good when Matt clarifies something. I think the most important thing to note is still. “Make pages primarily for users, not for search engines”
I dont know why some of you are so fond of this post. Its not even about SEO. Its about robots.txt, spam, spam reporting, paid links, nofollow, doorway pages. I cant find anything useful in there that will allow me to inrease rankings or ROI.
@onreact: Not everything that is interesting is going to increase your rankings, but if its helpful to send/quote to clients then it is just as important.
Very kind of Matt to metion the importance of feedback Google is receiving including that of SEOs ;-)"ConclusionNo search engine is perfect, and everyone will have different opinions about what a search engine should focus on. But I appreciate the feedback that we get from users, webmasters, and SEOs. I know that the suggestions that we get help to make Google a better search engine. If you see me at SMX Advanced, please walk right up and say hello. I promise that I’m not frightening, and I’d like to hear where you think Google needs to improve. There will also be a bunch of other Googlers at the conference — don’t be shy about approaching them, either."
Thanks for letting me know. That is very useful.
