BTW, that 12:11 am is Pacific. I’m on Eastern, so it’s ~3:30am. Ugh..

Matt

Sorry for the unrelated questioning in the previous thread (re. Google Earth) – will you be doing another mass question/answer session soon, or be devoting any columns to Google Earth stuff? I’m in love with the thing, and would like to give feedback on some of the elements of it to someone that might make a difference.

That has to be the oddest post from you Matt. ;-)

You sound like a dying robot in Lost in Space or the like

Someone give that man some Red Bull. He’ll be up for the next month after drinking that stuff. ;)

Sleep? I drove home from Pubcon last night and spent an hour adding new MFA’s to the filter of my Adsense account! Also chased a “Look Sexy Naked” ad off my page about book contracts:-)

That said, I really enjoyed hearing you at the show and I wish my business card had come up in the organic site review session – I’ll have to remember that writing the URL on a big sheet of paper seems to work better. I wanted to ask a question about “authority” scraper sites in the slamdown, but it didn’t seem to fit well with the other questions.

That MS demo sure had everybody smiling, now if only they’d send me
even a tenth as much search traffic as you guys. On the other hand, you should have heard the speaker in the e-commerce review session telling sites with 10,000 backlinks – “You need more backlinks, your competitionrs have, click, click, click, 11.7 million!” The scary thing is I talked to her after the show, and she was serious.

I thought about driving back in for the Pub meeting today, but I took the story that Brett Tabke told about hordes of people chasing you to the bathroom as a warning. Besides, I can’t drink beer or whiskey on Passover:-(

301 Lost Questions April 20, 2006 at 10:31 am

Matt will you ever address googles 301 old-domain.com to new-domain.com problem? I’ve tested this many times over with different sites and it works perfectly with the other SEs but absolutely is suicide on google..

As long as you only sleep for an hour then start posting again then that’s fine…

Matt, have you ever considered just doing periodic online sessions with Webex or something? It would combine all your blog and face time in one neat little package, no jet lag, and people are dumb enough to pay for it to boot.

LOL! That’s how I felt the entire time I was in Boston. It was funny to see someone actually POST it haha.

For all, who missed the private talks: Matt showed how he checks out webmasters manually in a quick lobby session:

It has been great fun!
