Being a “superstar” among SEOs, Matt Cutts does not seem to be overly active on forums and in comments. Oh, yes, one or two appearances of such an important person is already a fantastic compliment to any blog or website. Unless you happen to be another big name. Because then no irrelevant, inconsequential and accidental question is irrelevant, inconsequential and accidental enough for Matt to ignore.
- Hey, why am I second for a keyword combination, when I should be first? That’s a really disconcerting relevancy problem in Google!
- Why did my PageRank fall? It is supposed to go up and only up!
- Why does the datacenter I am currently using show only 893 results instead of 1000? Who knows what I miss out on…
- Why do I see a strange list here and here? Oh, because I forgot about a script…
There are possibly a couple hundred more important and more pressing questions regarding Google than those. But Matt Cutts, happy to help out whiners as long as they are his buddies and they pose easily answerable questions, makes no less than a dozen appearances there.
Thank you, Matt. We can count on you wherever there is some low-hanging fruit. Anything you can solve or ridicule easily. Like the idiots who could not configure their cloaking scripts. Morons with painfully primitive keyword stuffing and hiding techniques. Or non-controversial stuff you can nicely explain on a blogspot.com PR blog.
And the rest, you’re corporate enough to pass by.
