Matt Cutts Discusses Webmaster Tools

[chandanvsbm]

Webmaster Tools, I use Daily, Its a Fantastic Web Application for Websters all around the Globe.

[aJustinBieberSongs]

Webmaster Tools are really cool!

[DecimateTheGamer]

hey

[floopy312]

The title of the video ("Matt Cutts Discusses Webmaster Tools") is misleading, please fix it.

In the video Matts basically talks about how to prevent search engines to index a given web page.

[hairsish]

great video

Optimizing your website based on what matt's said. Is a way to make sure that the results are relevant and useful to the searches.

[albinsonp]

In the first point "don't link to a page" Cutts makes a claim about the Referer header which is not correct. He claims that if I have a webpage “A” open in my web browser and then type in the address of some other page “B” that I do not want to be indexed the browser will send the URL of page “A” as the value of the Referer header for the request made to retrieve the content of page “B”. This is not what the Referer header is for and I am not aware of any browser which does this.

Nice

Thanks Matt

[0u8124you]

Way to go again MATT, another "Good Will Hunting" equasion on the blackboard. No one can figure out but you and a few other MIT Techs and some Google employees. One day there will be a company who rivals google because they DONT ASSUME that the language they speak is understood by the masses.

Google will then become the PanAm of the internet. A bankrupt defunk company who preaches to themselves. GOOD LUCK TRYING TO VERIFY YOUR WEBSITE on GOOGLE. Tool difficult and time consuming....DAMM...

[boom6600]

hello

[NoirNG]

Matt, you are wrong on one thing: if you browse to one page and then enter a new URL in the address bar, your browser should never send a Referer header! That is because - by definition - only stuff that is a URI can be a valid Referer.

[aklp08]

dude you are far far away from 2010 :P

[PGMSSupport]

Matt- Have you ever tried to read the subtitles on a Google Video while following the verbal text? Other then that I really enjoy your videos

[figurethis2]

Ha, matt cutts in the early days, i wonder if he knew how many of these he would have to do over the years he would have agreed to do these first few.

[thedackel]

You have wery nice ideas my site is maxiklicks.de and i have a very good googel pr

HEY! CHANGE THE TITLE OF THE VIDEO FROM, "MATT CUTTS DISCUSSES WEBMASTER TOOLS", TO "HOW TO REMOVE A URL FROM GOOGLE! Geez Matt, you know better.

[minimalmonkey]

Are there really people who don't want things in Google.  I can't get my head around that.

[wearealltubes]

Absolutely! We sell some products - they aren't dodgy, they are just a real pain for us - that we'd rather not sell unless a large, regular customer specifically asks for them, in which case we send them a "private" link (i.e. we just tell them it's private!).

We also have deal/discount pages for special offers - only people coming through an email / affiliate etc can get to them.

I'm sure there are dozens more reasons for wanting a page out of the index.

[bobmcalister]

you need to resize your video so that it stays loaded,

[JVRudnick]

so...slightly off topic, but where can one "ask" Matt a question..ie I can't find the link to post a question to Matt...

anyone know how or where to do that?

Jim

[freeseotips]

Great video, thanks Matt!

[mediaviseo]

Matt,

thanks for info. We have now gone through the process: in the crawler access / remove url section a specific sub-page has got the "removed" status (sind june 26). the subpage is no longer online, the cache is no longer visible but this sub-page still appears in serps. How can this be? for how long will this still be the case?

[SmellyPINEAPPLE]

i simply want to remove my name from google, if that's not possible, certain pages with my name on it. is that possible?

[msilvamx]

Matt, can you please provide me a ph number where I can contact you. I need some help on the erase tool.

[satellitboy]

hahahahahahahahahahhahahahahah­ah

Do you think he have time for you? rofl

[tonykershaw]

You are an infantile jerk not worthy of any further responses. The end.

[tonykershaw]

You are a total nut.

[Webnauts]

Matt thanks for the informative video. But I have a question:

Don't protected protected directories cause dangling/nodes problems (PR black-hole) if the links to them are not attributed with the nofollow attribute?

[outsourceseowork]

best video and best person to learn about Webmaster Tools

[sharedownload2009]

than fro the video

[tzarkaiser]

I cannot play this video? why

[600RR4Life]

The Most Powerful Tool Of Seo Would be title.

[jimbobeire]

I have one criticism of this vid, but it's a biggy considering it's Google. The topic is very specific, and the vid title is very general. Content relevance to title = poor.

Interesting content, but not very clever title choice. If I was searching for a general discussion of tools

[jimbobeire]

Actually, the info box is even contradictory.

I wonder, if the title and info box are the reason it has 58,400 views rather than say 20,000? I think a lot more people are excited about SEO than this topic (although I found this interesting. Thanks Mr. Cutts.

[TheCoolEasy]

at same time, I say Yah for Mattcutts for taking tome out to show some of us need to knows. Now needs to show how to submit xml with many pages and urlist and basics from start to finish. Then worry about unlisting. Its hard enough to get darn listed first at google.

put appreciate any help, just start at basics for us unhuman creatures who are s l o w and missed that google degree LOL.

[salesaarkei]

good

[600RR4Life]

i got my site rank 1 google i am really happy.

[TheCoolEasy]

good. HOW?

google is making it harder and harder. It sucks! One should not have to seek a new degree just to get listed and have decent ranking or have to hire out like a large corporation. Its getting outrageously crazy on googles part. I personally feel we should all boycout all this but... no one sticks together so we must all have the headacks i guess.

glad you made it!

[voiceguy4hire]

Why do all the successful people look like Joel Comm? :D

[lucylovesguitar]

I've always thought Matt and Joel look alike. Nice catch. :)

[cmpoon2122]

Nice drawing...

[thundercow99]

He has HUGE manboobs, and lots of power.

[pokerallied]

[nowfor2]

"Google guru..."?

Give me a break man!

Everybody is a guru today!

[friendofyou]

"been around for at least a decade, since 2006" ;)

[zkraso3755]

Haha, I was just about to comment on that, but I thought I would see if anybody else already did.

[developerNC1]

All of my websites rank high in Google. I don't see what the big mystery of high ranking is.

[cartercomedy]

I would have named that "removing your site from google" because there are other things webmaster tools does that aren't mentioned here.

[gallioct]

He is such a retard he thanks

[1stHATER]

5 stars! Well first of all Ben Harper is a great artist! This guy is amazing hes is well spoken the google bot is somthing of a mystery he sheds alot of light on this thing, its hard to beleive he did that video where he licked three drunk dudes anusses so to the point I did not know you could have somthing completelly dropped from search sites. He is a excellent instuctor

[o0NamelessDragon0o]

Definately helpful

[outtanames999]

Audio level is too low. This is true of most of the Google uploaded videos.

[homee123456]

well... thats a matter of fact isnt it?

[yairbaron]

You said about robots.txt "the standard has been around for over a decade, at least since 2006"

You probably mean 1996...

[rationalpsychedelia]

damn is this 2017? suddenly I feel old . . . very old :(

[swiftjeff]

yeah, i caught that too. thats what happens when computer nerds get on camera. at that moment, he thought "the world will see this!" heheh

[mkarnicki]

[adamdoesit]

That's because google is from the future.

[MarketingEmpire]
