First lesson of SEO 2.0: You do not need to read Matt Cutts’ blog. I never do unless someone points me to a post that in most cases just confirms what I knew, read or thought before.
Why? Let me tell you:
1. I do not like shallow celebrities like Paris Hilton. So I do not like Matt Cutts for being a celebrity
2. Matt Cutts is not SEO 2.0! He is Web 1.5 at most. Well, he sometimes says things like “linkbait is great” but most of the time he just repeats stuff that we knew in 1999 like “content is king”
3. Matt Cutts focuses too much on Spam. I do not engage in Spam so why should I read about others doing it?
4. Matt Cutts looks not as good as Marissa Mayer
5. Matt Cutts uses an ugly Wordpress theme
6. Matt Cutts blog is private, I do not want to disturb his privacy. Moreover I read the Official Google Blog instead for official announcements you can sue Google for
7. There is too much cat content on Matt Cutts’ blog
8. Everybody reads Matt Cutts blog, I’m special, so I do not
9. I read blogs and I comment there, but I am afraid that commenting his posts will make him discover my site and ban me in Google for no apparent reason
10. Matt Cutts never invited me for a beer or a guest entry in his blog
You see, I could go on forever lke that, but I read somewhere that people love lists with 10 items.

You suck at the internet.
Your number 9 is great! How lucky I am that I don’t read Matt Cutts’ blog either :)
Billy: You guess it pal! It’s like breast feeding.
Simonne: Look out, he could read this blog entry, then click on your name and discover your **** **** ***!
#5 is a great reason not to read it! Hahah!
Yes indeed. I am a very visually oriented person. So I can’t stand ugly interfaces.
Do I get the feeling that you don’t like Matt? lol
I’m sure he is nice guy, but the notion that the whole world should read a private blog of a guy working for the most powerful Internet company on earth seems strange by itself.
Thanks for the notice Code4Gold, I stumbled you. Next time you shouldn’t trackback someone without linking to her/him. That’s basic netiquette ;-)
Yeah Matt Cutss sucks ass !! i have my own SEO company i own almost on all my keywords :)
onreact: “Billy: You guess it pal! It’s like breast feeding.” I had to giggle
Why Should I Read Your Blog ??? Can you tell me atleast 5 reasons ??
Yap…. you are right…he always keep repeating “content is king” It seems like, there is no other tips how to rank better in Google despite “content is king”. If I were died 10 times and lived again for 10 times ..guess what? I still get the same thing “Content Is King”
nice!!! haha 10 is cool :)
