Will Adding My Twitter Feed to My Website Increase my PageRank?
published Thursday, September 9th, 2010 at 7:26 am by James Martell
Matt Cutts: The answer to the first two questions is no. Just adding more content doesn’t get you anymore links. Duplicating your Twitter page on your website doesn’t earn you any more juice. Now that’s not to say that it can’t be a useful addition to your website. Adding more content can attract links but it doesn’t automatically attract links. Adding more content doesn’t automatically affect your PageRank.
Remember, PageRank is based on who links to you and how reputable those people are. So if you post something on Twitter that people enjoyed – for example, a while ago I said, “When you have five minutes to spare Twitter is a great way to fill 35 minutes.” People liked that. They re-Tweeted it. Read the rest of this entry »
Can You Make the Real Time Results More Conspicuous?
published Monday, September 6th, 2010 at 7:24 am by James Martell
Matt Cutts: That’s been the heated area of controversy over in Google because sometimes we have that real time results where they actually scroll upwards. That’s not something that you would typically see on the search results pages. Some people think that the real time search results are too visible when they are scrolling.
So the nice thing is that Google tends to have an open mind. We have a tendency to go back and reconsider things that we thought were closed two or three years ago. For example we recently introduced a brand new set of search results UI pages that are a lot more intuitive with a lot of really useful tools on the left hand side.
So I’m the real time search results is something that we will probably go back and reconsider more and more and more. Maybe they will scroll in the future or maybe they won’t. Maybe they will have a colored background. The nice thing is there are a lot of people who have a lot more experience than me to help make those decisions. Read the rest of this entry »

Where Do You See Google in 5 Years?
published Friday, September 3rd, 2010 at 8:30 am by James Martell
Matt Cutts: Well let’s talk a little bit about the philosophy of Google. I think of Google as an advocate for our users. So, I hope that in 5 years people, including me can still see Google as an advocate for our users. That we’re making the right long-term decisions that make users happy so that we get their loyalty so that they come back to Google.
I think I would love to see Google continue to be the open choice. There are some parts of our search system that we can’t open source like the web spam part of it and a few other small pieces like that but I would love to get to be as open as we could be.
Google tends to let users leave with their data so if you can take your gmail or your calendar, or your docs, or your reader’s subscriptions, and leave any time you want then people have to compete on a level of playing ground. They have to compete on a basis of merit not on lock-in. So I hope Google continues to embrace that, that we keep that theme as we look forward 5 years. Read the rest of this entry »
