Matt Cutts in Stephan Spencers Interview

First I would like to congratulate my San Diego Chargers on an outstanding season that come up a little short to one of the best teams to ever play. Having said that, I think we could have won had we had a couple less injuries to key players which bodes well for next year. In the meantime, now I can get more SEO done on the weekends..lol.

I came across this interview with Matt Cutts from Stephan Spencer today. It's a good read and dispels some fairly common myths like .edu links are better than .com links, you can only use 100 links on a Page, and that social bookmarking links don't count that much. One of the things I wish that Google would do that is mentioned in this article is bring back the supplemental tag result for Google Webmaster Tools so that you can at least know which of your own pages are supplemental. Supplemental results used to be a great tool for finding duplicate content issues, URL issues and some other common problems that are much harder to diagnose for sites that have thousands and thousands of pages.

Also don't forget to sign up for the Online Marketing Summit. I will be speaking there with several other industry professionals in a "vendorless" environment that is really focused around learning. It's my favorite conference of the year. Also, I will be writing soon for www.searchenginewatch.com, so please keep an eye out for my series of articles on SEO and PPC. I'll let you know soon when the first ones have been posted. Have a great week.
