Whiteboard Friday: SMX West Interviews-Matt Cutts

Man-oh-man, it's been a busy week, folks.  As many of you know, a big chunk of the Mozplex relocated to Santa Clara this week for SMX West. The show went off smashingly and we managed to get several guests to do Whiteboard videos with us on the Expo Hall floor.

What's this mean for you? It means next week will be filled with Whiteboard Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and (of course) Friday!  Today though, we have an interview with Google's own Spaminator, Matt Cutts.  Matt was kind enough to sit down with Rand and reveal a bit more about the man behind the madness that is the Google Spam Team.

These two discuss everything from how Matt got his start at Google, to how he feels about being Google's public face, what it takes to join his team, heirs apparent, and the dumbest old-school spam mistakes he still sees people make.

It's a lengthy, though worthwhile, interview, so sit back, relax and enjoy.


The author's views are entirely their own (excluding the unlikely event of hypnosis) and may not always reflect the views of Moz.
