10 things I learned from Matt Cutts at WordCamp 2009

Matt Cutts was not the WordCamp I went to unfortunately.  I went to WordCamp Columbus in May 2009.  Matt Cutts who is a Google employee was at WordCamp in San Francisco... in May 2009. 

Matt Cutts is a Google employee. Matt Cutt's personal blog is a WordPress.org blog

Barry Schwartz of Search Engineland wrote about WordCamp 2009 in San Francisco on the 20th of August.  Fresh from REBARCamp Ohio I was still in the mood to learn and home sick having contracted Swine Flu* (from DracuPig?)  at  REBarCamp Ohio so I listened to Matt Cutts on the 21st of August.

I have a WordPress blog.  It needs a new theme... the spammers and I are still using the default. 

A lot of what I learned from Matt Cutt at WordCamp 2009 is applicable to my ActiveRain blogs as well

#REBCOHIO 10 things I learned if you get a chance to go to a REBarCamp? Go.

Simpson's fan? I have to admit sadly most of it is over my head, Yup. Embiggen comes from The Simpsons according to Matt Cutts. A Google search for the word Embiggen brings up this nugget from Wikipedia.

"Embiggen, coined by Dan Greaney, has seen use in several scientific publications"

Wikipedia? Gotta be true huh?

* #REBCOHIO joke you can not catch H1N1 formerly known as swine flu from pigs.  Especially not from a felt pig.
