I finally got around to watching Whiteboard Friday – The Matt Cutts Interview and felt it was worth pointing out. Matt Cutts, Google Engineer, is a huge part of the SEM industry. Rand Fishkin’s interview with Matt Cutts explores that relationship.

Questions include how Matt got into being the face of Google for webmasters, how other Googlers are aiding him, and the struggle in demonstrating that he is not the final answer at Google for SEOs. It is really a great interview.

In addition to the SEOmoz interview, Wired has a really short Q&A with Matt that was just published yesterday.
