I love that you used the Alex Chiu website as an example! That website is hilarious... But seriously, I learned a lot from your presentation. And, I might add, you are a very good public speaker... comfortable, funny, and very intelligent. Great work! Thanks to John for posting that video.

As for the nice deep links to an inside directory (like /blog), well good posts get deep links too! Chris, if Matt Cutts does it then it must be true : )

With regards to placement of the blog directory; e.g. in the root or in /blog/, I have been thinking about this recently and in the end came to the decision to put my blog in the root. At first I was going to put it in /blog/ but then I thought, the primary function of the site is a blog, so therefore the blog should be placed in the root and any secondary functions should be placed in secondary directory folders and linked to from the sidebar include. I think that this makes much better sense for any website that is described as a blog primarily, such as this website. The clincher for me was the need/desire to make use of the functionality of the WordPress blog software on my front page. Other than that -- great hints here, thanks -- I've now made a checklist of things to do (plug-ins to install, etc.) after having installed WordPress, with some of your included. Thanks Matt, Chris @Matt,

Take care, John Matt (and everyone else of course),

Over at Pureblogging we are discussing a summary bullet point of your talk that was summarized by Lisa Barone and post here: <a href="http://www.pureblogging.com/2007/07/25/seo-advice-for-bloggers-from-matt-cutts/" rel="nofollow">http://www.pureblogging.com/2007/07/25/seo-advice-for-bloggers-from-matt-cutts/</a> If you want to get into Google News, you’ll need to add multiple authors. Can you elaborate on this concept? It makes sense, but then it does not make any sense. Does Google store a data point for author names for each site and then count them to make sure there are 3 or more before Google News will consider the site/post worth displaying? Thank you for your time, Tyson Matt -

Audio, video whateverr works for you. I'd prefer to hear/read what you had to say vs what someone else thinks you said.
