Google Guy Says - Inside tips on the Google Engine

 print  e-mail 

This is a good resource for anyone interested in SEO. According to the site:

"This web site tracks the words of a Google employee known as GoogleGuy. GoogleGuy is a Google employee who is very helpful in responding to questions and providing information to webmasters about changes at Google.

I am not GoogleGuy. This site is not affiliated with Google. I created this site to provide a convenient and easy way for people to read and discuss the information provided by GoogleGuy.

For every GoogleGuy quote, I assign a "High", "Medium", or "Low" importance level. You can use these importance levels to filter the content of this site. For example, the "High" category contains the comments that address new changes, or other significant statements."
