So very clever of Matt Cutts to leave the country just as this post was set to go live.

At least it's not related to SOPA....

I'm looking forward to seeing the effect on "less than 1%" of queries.

Most interesting, particularly the comments pointing out that Google SERP pages often have a block of Adword ads at the top. What about the user experience there?

I note that Matt Cutts is now a Distinguished Engineer, certainly an intriguing job title. When did that happen? I thought he was the head of the Google Spam catcher group.

While I am sometimes irritated by Google's advertising-laden pages, I feel compelled to point out that they DO labor under a self-imposed permanent ban against indexing their own search results.

It's not like they are not abiding by the same algorithm as the rest of us....
