TweetIs Google public DNS tracking all the websites we visit while using it? Google is going to get a heck of a lot of data. Matt Cutts: As I recall they don’t track or after some very short finite period of time they either get rid of the data or minimize it very comprehensively. But [...]

By James Martell on Friday, June 24th, 2011 | 3 Comments

TweetMatt Cutts: Well the thing I want to avoid is the impression that it’s only the optimization that would make you rank. There are lots of different factors that would make you rank well but fundamentally we try to look at on page content as well as off domain links. And it’s not the case [...]

TweetMatt Cutts: I’m absolutely sympathetic to this. The fact is I think Google has one of the most internationalized websites in the world. We’re available in something like 100 different languages.
