July 15th, 2013 | Google, Google search, Matt Cutts, search engine optimisation, seo

If you need to know anything about SEO (search engine optimisation) there’s only one person to ask, Matt Cutts of Google.

This is the first in a series of posts that looks at various aspects of SEO. This one relates to a phenomenon you may have seen – how an apparently non-optimised website can outrank your site that’s been optimised to the hilt.

This is what Matt Cutts has to say on the matter:

The next instalment will look at the qualities of a good site.

See you soon.
