Matt Cutts blog is a must read

If you care about how Google search works, that is.

There are a lot of blogs I read. Some regularly. Some not so much. One I do read often is Google's Matt Cutts.

Matt is the head of Google's webspam team (whatever that means), but what is important is that he knows more about how Google's search works than 99.99% of the planet.

He also writes funny yet informative, to the point blog posts and particularly useful video blogs. And he just seems like a decent bloke.

Read the disclaimer - the comments are quite funny - it would be nice to work for someone who a) pays you a lot and/or b) pays for travel to conferences etc (read: think you are worth the $$). I'll see how I feel when people are banging down my door offering gifts tho.

Everyone should love web traffic stats

A couple of news items this morning had a theme of web traffic statistics, hence the theme of today's post.

A lot of people we speak to can't answer the question "How many visits do you get to your website?" - much less know what keywords they used to get there or which is the most popular content on their site. If you have a site, it's pretty much critical that you know what people are doing on it.
