Common Sense SEO Tips by Matt Cutts

To those of you who don’t know Matt Cutts – he’s the head of Google’s Webspam team. I found this video of an interview with him, which I’ll embed below.

It goes over link building, social media, onsite SEO, and some common misconceptions – like having to pay Google to be listed in the results (which isn’t true).

New Look

Just switched the theme here at Leland.info for a much simpler and minimalistic look. Thanks to Mitch Bryson for the template.

Also, a few days ago was Theme Lab’s birthday. Can’t believe it’s already been a year since I’ve started that site. It’s grown into a very active site.

Just upgraded to Firefox 3

Like the post title says, I just upgraded to Firefox 3. There were a few problems accessing the site as this was the first day it came out. I managed to find a working download link though. Just a few first impressions:

• It’s faster and uses less RAM
• The graphics are nicer
• A few addons (Firebug) don’t work

Overall, I’m glad I made the upgrade. It’s definitely nice to have a faster browser, and most of the addons have new compatible versions to go along with the new Firefox. Hopefully the remaining addons will have updates soon enough.

Just upgraded to WordPress 2.5.1

I know, it’s a little late – but I’ve just upgraded this blog to run the latest version of WordPress, 2.5.1. To the 2 or so people who actually read this blog, you probably won’t notice much of a difference.
