On February 26, 2009, Google software engineer Matt Cutts collected questions on Google Moderator and answered many of them on video.
Monica from Madison, WI asked:
Can you verify that Google is putting more weight on "brands" in search engine rankings? If the answer is "Yes" -- what is Google's definition of a brand? Inspired by Aaron Wall's post: http://www.seobook.com/google-branding

Question: "Are Google putting more weight on brands more in search results?"
Answer: "No we don't, we just changed something so that brands might now be appearing higher up on the list"
- Well isn't that what the woman was asking?

For a guy that earns 6 figures a year, he is pretty stingy.
Just kidding, I'm sure he just did those question all in one go.
