Matt Cutts, the googler of the moment and master of all things search, has a video series where he answers questions. Peter T Davis has made these available as transcripts and Caydel is doing a nice job of adding value by proofreading them and putting it into a more readable format along with the original video as well. Caydel will be putting up more as he goes through them so stay tuned!
People are asking Matt all kinds of questions from the general to really specialized questions. Whether they get a straight answer or not is for you to decide but you got to admire Matt’s accessibility and openness for a large corporation like Google.
It’s an interesting read because it illustrates a basic tenet of contemporary web development. You create for Google and you create for your audience. Simple but in some ways sad.

Just for the record, there have been a variety of mistakes in Peter T. Davis transcriptions fixed once I copied them over. I suspect the original transcription was done by someone not familiar with SEO concept as some very nonsensical things were transcribed….
Thanks for linking to the site – I plan to put the next 9 videos and transcriptions up over the next two days!
Thanks for pointing that out. I only read your blog since I didn’t want to grok through straight text. I’ve edited my introduction accordingly. Look forward to the rest!
