In case you missed it, We streamed a live interview with Google’s Matt Cutts today from SMX West in Santa Clara. It’s hard to narrow down the discussion to a singular topic, but here are some of the things touched upon in the video:
- The status of Google’s Caffeine update (nothing’s wrong, they’re just being careful.)
- Site Speed as a ranking factor – settle down, it’s not replacing relevance (and it’s independent from Caffeine)
- PageRank – Google’s probably not going to rename it, but people do obsess too much over it.
- PuSH – indexing much of the web in real-time
- Coming up with metrics for authority in real-time search
- Google Buzz – Why Matt Cutts likes it, but still uses Twitter as well
- Why does every product that comes out have to be the killer of an existing product?
- SEO vs. social media marketing
- NCAA Basketball and the Kentucky Wildcats
After discussing the above topics, Matt and interviewer Mike McDonald turn to Twitter for audience questions for Matt to answer.
