Generally speaking, we like to keep this space pretty simplified with the subject matter that we discuss. Obviously we expect that our clients are reading these posts regularly, so it is important to us that we do not over complicate what we post. That said, I’m going to go ahead and throw that idelogy out the window for today.
Matt Cutts, one of the bigger cheeses (particularly to those in the SEO field) at Google is usually good about telling us his feelings and occasionaly giving the general public some insight as to how things at Google work.
Matt joined Google as a Software Engineer in January 2000. Before Google, he was working on his Ph.D. in computer graphics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He has an M.S. from UNC-Chapel Hill, and B.S. degrees in both mathematics and computer science from the University of Kentucky.
Matt wrote SafeSearch, which is Google’s family filter. In addition to his experience at Google, Matt held a top-secret clearance while working for the Department of Defense, and he’s also worked at a game engine company. He claims that Google is the most fun by far.
Matt currently heads up the Webspam team for Google. Eric Enge over at Stone Temple Consulting was kind of enough to share with us the interview with Matt that he recently conducted, and I am going to post it here in its entirety. There is some great info, and Im going to leave it as is rather than try to water it down…so as always, if there are questions and/or comments, please post here or feel free to give me an email at chris@pageonewebsolutions.com.
