Matt Cutts: Gadgets, Google, and SEO Updated : What Google Knows About Spam If you didn’t attend Web 2.0, you can watch my ten-minute keynote about “What Google Knows About Spam” (and several other keynotes) on blip.tv. I’ll embed the keynote below as well. The only thing I don’t like about conference speaking is preparing slides. When I use slides at a talk, I almost always make a custom [...] Publ.Date : Mon, 12 May 2008 05:14:22 +0000 Custom Search Engine adds new features Google Custom Search Engine (CSE) just announced that they now power AdSense for Search. Another nice new change is that if you provide a Sitemap, Google will use that to improve the coverage of the custom search engine. Now let me nip one idea in the bud, because I can already feel a few people thinking [...] Publ.Date : Wed, 07 May 2008 05:21:11 +0000 Back from Maker Faire Man, I love Maker Faire. It’s almost as if Burning Man mated with Slashdot. Here are afew of the fun things I saw today. In the Craft area someone showed the credit cards that they accepted, but the credit card sign was hand-made: Also in the Craft zone was a “postcard machine.” It was a person sitting [...] Publ.Date : Mon, 05 May 2008 04:05:12 +0000 Maker Faire! I’m heading to Maker Faire today. It’s a fun event if you like robots, crafts, art cars, flame throwers, Coke ‘n’ Mentos shows, building your own electronics kits, knitting weird hats, Lego creations, plush monsters, power tool racing, or walking around outdoors in the California sunshine. Highly recommended if you’re in the Bay Area today. Publ.Date : Sun, 04 May 2008 17:25:41 +0000 Review: Google Apps Hacks Last week at the Web 2.0 Expo I decided to walk the exhibition floor. Niall Kennedy and I checked out the inflatable Google booth, we gave feedback to the WordPress folks, and we came to rest in the Yahoo booth, where it was nice to see Jeremy Zawodny and catch up a little bit. After a [...] Publ.Date : Thu, 01 May 2008 06:50:15 +0000 New WordPress version 2.5.1 includes security fix Read about WordPress 2.5.1 and download the new version here. It includes a security fix, so you’re going to want to upgrade. It’s well-known that older versions of WordPress get attacked by malicious bad guys, so I absolutely recommend upgrading as soon as you can to be safe.

It was quite simple to make this diagram, and Google provides a free graph-drawing tool that you can use on your own site with a single url — no account or [...] Publ.Date : Fri, 25 Apr 2008 04:14:52 +0000 Trip report: Domain Roundtable Conference This weekend I did a Q&A session at the Domain Roundtable Conference. It was an hour and a half of answering various questions. Rand Fishkin and John Andrews both did write-ups of the session. Rand and John were both on an SEO panel after me, which I enjoyed. This was my first domain-related conference, and the [...] Publ.Date : Wed, 23 Apr 2008 04:49:23 +0000 Recording an IRC channel on Linux/Ubuntu There are a ton of Interney Relay Chat (IRC) clients for Linux/Ubuntu, e.g. Gaim (now called Pidgin). One IRC client that makes recording an IRC conversation pretty easy is Irssi. Install Irssi on Ubuntu with a simple command: sudo apt-get install irssi Then run the program “irssi” from the command line. Now suppose you want to record what’s [...] Publ.Date : Mon, 21 Apr 2008 14:35:56 +0000 Nice “News quote” feature Google just announced a cool addition to Google News. If you search for a person’s name on Google News, you can see statements where that person has been quoted by a news source. For example, search on Google News for [Arnold Schwarzenegger] and you’ll see It’s like how smart the feature is. It can correctly [...] Publ.Date : Fri, 18 Apr 2008 20:08:39 +0000 RSS feeds Increased Web Site Traffic
