During a recent visit to the Mountain View Googleplex, I had the chance to interview Matt Cutts
for ourGerman Webmaster Blog. While enjoying the California
sunshine we chatted about how to rank in Google, resources for webmasters and Matt's first
encounter with spam. As these topics are not only interesting for a German audience, I want to
share them with you as well. So watch the video and find out how difficult it can be for the head
of webspam engineering to surf the Internet.:)
If you speak German you might want to check out theGerman translationof the interview.
