Cutts Corner

As has become the norm over the last few years, ol Matt was hard at it in 2009. Now, believe it or not, these aren’t ALL of them. These are merely the ones I thought were of interest beyond the mundane.

	Canonical tags Does anchor text carry through 301 redirects? More questions about nofollow Will Google use non-link references as a signal? Will SEO still exist in five years? What impact does server location have on rankings? Why do big brands do so well? White hat link bait Is Google doing away with use of the meta description? Query deserves freshness; fact or fiction? When will Rich Snippets become widely available? Are links in footers treated differently than paragraph links? What factors influence video results in Universal Search? How are spam reports prioritized? Will Google notify webmasters of violations of the webmaster guidelines? How should I serve different content based on user location? Does Googlebot consider the URL of an Image? More on Geotargeting Will Google personalize results based on user IP location? Does the size of a website affect its authority in Google? Snippets and Titles

Oh and hey… did you know I keep a public library of videos I come across? Most of these (and more) can be found in the SEO Dojo Video Library – if you like to listen/watch vids from time to time… bookmark it!

And there we have it… there are all the best of the best, from my perspective, from 2009. Yes, there are likely a TON of other goodies that I’ve missed, but it’s something at least. One of the best parts of publishing the newsletter is being able to chronicle the SEO industry as it evolves. I hope you enjoyed the ride…Now let’s make some news for 2k10 shall we?
