Hello Friend, Since the time seo took in action it was good but Sudden growth also lead to show some people like Rand Fishkin (CEO of SEOMOZ), Arron Wall (SEO Book), Matt Cutts (Head Of Web Spam Team in Google), Bruce Clay (BruceClay Inc), Will Reynolds (CEO of SEER Interactive). What are your reviews on there position in search engine world? Do they really deserve that place? Who deserves and who does not?? Lets see what reviews do member of digitalpoint have for them? If this thread is for other section, please i am sorry. Thanks.
Matt Cutts is a briallant man and great marketer. A lot of people dont like him because their spammy sites lost rankings but it really was inevitable. If he didnt have strict algo updates the results would be shity spamm sites with million pop ups.
I just watched videos by this guy and he is brilliant, he provides real information and doesn't hide anything. I would rather get solid information on how to build up a legit site than create spammy sites or spammy ways to go about it.
I have been following Matt Cutts through his Blog & Twitter handle since 2007 and have got lot of Knowledge "Gyaan" from him and personally thing he is the alone person who can stop the spammers.
Matt Cutts - sometimes a bit vague, but generally a good source of knowledge about how Google works/ranks. Rand Fishkin - he doesn't care about being popular, but instead speaks it as he believes it to be. He's usually (maybe always?), very good at analysing data. Him and the other SEOmoz girls and guys have done very well. Aaron Wall - I often feel his views are to win the popular vote rather than go for accuracy, so I stopped reading. You didn't mention Danny Sullivan (Search Engine Land). His writing is great, clearly very good at marketing and has plenty of great advice. I loved his recent rant (SMX). Totally hit the nail on the head. Generally, I find if Matt Cutts is vague and I want to research further, Rand and Danny are very good sources for further information.
Well friend its your misconception. He is just the speaker for google, Amit Singhal is actually behind the web spam. The recent penguin update was actually initiated by him. Just he keeps himself out of media and matt cutts takes full advantage of that. Thank you.
I've met Matt briefly a few times in the past and always enjoyed talking to him. He's very intelligent (as you would expect), and in some ways reminds me of myself (not that I'm intelligent). Seems like he would be a great person to work on a random tech project with... As far as some of the other people mentioned... I've also met Rand and Danny before and both are a pleasure to talk to.
Amit hasn't been doing that lately (staying out of the media) and the work Matt has done on webspam isn't a misconception (it's well-known and documented for many years). He's more than just a speaker for Google.
From his face, do you think he is the actual person behind webspam team ?? he is the speaker only and he should be in Disney Yea, Lot people think like this but he is in actual a nice person, doing lot efforts to reduce webspam and he did about 70%.
From the above mentioned names, i only heard of Matt Cutts. In my opinion is must be a very good marketer and a very good programmer, he deserves his place on the google team of Head of Web Spam Team.
I think it is good that Google allows Matt to provide some "fireside chat" style talk to people. Google and SEO can be very confusing, and its good they have something like this. I like Matt's public personality but don't know him beyond that. That said, I don't love everything about google, but this is one part I like.
Matt has still a lot of work to do as the google rankings even after the penguin update is neither 100 percent correct nor devoid of spammy sites. Many of the good websites have lost the ranking with spammy sites overtaking their better cousins...
Dunno. Seems like a decent person. However, the recent 'updates' obviously need improvement. Several spammy sites are way above my non-spammy site. And it might also explain the recent demand for 'Search Engine Evaluators' aka 'Google Raters'. I recently applied and got hired pretty quickly. Hardly any work though in Canada. However, it has given me more insight into how they are thinking.
