Hi Matt Cutts is doing a great job by providing valuable info to webmasters at his blog http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/ , even though this is his personal blog and nothing to with his employer Google. Do you think we require more people from Google like Matt Cutts who can help webmasters? With the amount of revenue Google are making, do you think they should spend some money on providing support?
umm, not quite sure if this is sarcasm. whatever, yes google should certainly provide more time and effort on support and communication - both for search related issues and for 'related' services such as adsense. examples: (1) I have a site that is not 'banned' but never shows for a single search, even its own name, despite reinclusion requests (2) I have a site which is very popular, has lots of visitors, and does not sell links, but forever loses PR - it once was PR5, is now PR2 these are issues where it would be very useful to have open communication channels with google, so that I could understand the issues and resolve them, because I can't work it out myself. Likewise there are adsense issues I would love to have someone i could talk to about.
I really like mattcutts blog and visit it almost everyday. He post very useful content in his blog. Google is providing support at webmaster groups so not sure if any other google employee is going to start blog support
Although Matt is a great guy, the information is not detailed enough or contain examples that can be used. And no one has the time to read his personal blog on no-google related topics. As for Google, they have reached the level of Microsoft. The never ending loop...
Why should Google dish out more information about their algorithm? Clearly, what they have released to us has become a white-wash (take PR, for example). Google is here to provide for the end-user, not the webmaster looking to game the system. It's like everyone complaining that DMOZ doesn't do enough to ensure listings are checked. You know what? The world doesn't owe you anything.
guess currently google is not that level of monopoly as microsoft but seems they are 'trying' to follow that way...
Google needs to provide support to their primary customers like search engine users and Adwords and Adsense customers. Webmasters are not their customers, why should they care about where your site ranks on their search engine?
Matt is a great guy and some times helpful, but you can always use Google Webmasters Group as well as popular forums like DP to get answers, thats what a community is meant to be in the first place.
