Today I came across the following video while conducting some SEO research. Based on the title, you might think this holds all the secrets to Google’s algorithm. After all, it features their head of web spam, Matt Cutts.

On the contrary, this is not at all a useful resource for search engine optimization.

Matt Cutts: Max Headroom Style?

This mashup pulls together snippets of Mr. Cutts answering questions, doing whiteboard presentations, and generally discussing SEO best practices and tips. You’ll see why I used the Max Headroom analogy when you watch it.

The mashup was built and shared by Sam Applegate on YouTube, and I found myself actually chuckling out loud. So for today, let’s take a quick break from the typical material we cover.

Enjoy today’s moment of levity, courtesy of Return On Now.
