So, I know this isn't the latest video from Matt Cutts, but I hadn't seen it before ... I hope it hasn't been shared here already.

In the video Google's Matt Cutts says that much like one polishes a resume:
"SEO tries to figure out how to put your best foot forward for your website."
Cutts goes on to say that "SEO is not spam," and that there are lots of "white hat" ways to practice SEO. Dealing with canonicalization issues, for example.
Cutts was answering the question, Will SEO Exist In 5 Years? He concluded yes, it will be, and he said, "And I don't think that that's a bad thing."
Apologies if you've seen this year old+ vid .. but I figured, if you can ask the same question over and over, and post the same answers, then I can take a chance on repeating an old but good video.
Oh, and I liked it when he called, "black hat" "crap hat" ... Thanks for the reference, mjtaylor.
Funny thing, if one get back a bit and look from far perspectives, then the question might arise: Who is this company Google and who is this particular guy Cuts, that they are seriously judging legal-illegal matters of SEO.
SEO is an independent business from Yahoo, from Bing, from Google. Its just a coincidence that everyone is optimizing for Google today.
Once the "big G" becomes "small G" one day, noone will be interested in those "judgements" and philosophical thinking of a gay called Matt ;-) Thanks for sharing the video. What I find super funny is everyone going crazy because they think SEO won't exist in 5 years since Google Instant was introduced. Like I've been saying to the majority of my clients is we just have to adapt and 'put our best foot forward'. I have seen this video before somewhere, but thanks for sharing it mjtaylor.
I read Matt's Cutts review about Google Instant and I saw many commented
about how it will affect SEO and anything. But in my opinion adjustment is
what needed in this new features from Google. Learn on how to cope up
with the new environment. SEO for me is a ongoing process and the difference
I think it will make in the industry is the new techniques that will come out,
adjustments in rules for rankings and many more. Quote: Originally Posted by Cryxellis I have seen this video before somewhere, but thanks for sharing it mjtaylor.

http://www.v7n.com/forums/google-for...-you-type.html. SEO has been creative since its inception and will only continue to grow in the future. I think as long as the marketing aspects are fresh and user-friendly for both business and the consumers reading it, SEO should be just fine. I agree MJ. Since Matt Cutts is trying his best to fight off spams. Quality and relevant sites than spam or crappy sites.

Think of the dirge that Microsoft produces yet they're still the king of the OS. And Facebook will probably be the premier social networking site for some time since they've got the key critical mass which the likes of Friendster or MySpace never reached. I'm not convinced too much would change if Google disappeared tomorrow. It seems most of the questions like "what will happen in the Google serps if I..." could easily be applied to another search engine. Sure we get tidbits from them about what's good and what's not but the salient points like link spamming being bad would probably apply to any search engine which is optimized to block out spam.
Back on the video, thanks for posting that. I gave me a great sense of well being So we all know that SEO is a good thing, as much as putting your business in the yellow page is good & right but sometimes the murky black hat world can eat away at the good vibes. It's nice to hear someone at Google recognizing the value of good seo.
btw, for anyone who hasn't read the Google seo starter guide I highly recommend it. There's no information you can't find anywhere else but it's nice to read a "canonical" view of what Google thinks is a good idea.

Looking at the past, I am always amused how easy it is to loose the number 1 position in any business. Think of AltaVista and Yahoo as search engines. Think of Chrysler and GM as autoproducers. Think of Grundig and Philips as consumer electronics providers. They are all almost gone, while 10 years ago they were 1st definitely and forever.
Its like in 'Alice in Wonderland': "You should run fast to be able to stay on the same place"...
