Matt Cutts on SEO

And other topics in this interview with him.

http://www.search-marketing.info/new...matt-cutts.htm

Excerpt: 'Personally, I have a theory that some spammers want everyone
practicing solid, common-sense SEO to believe that they're spamming, or
that everyone is a black hat. To me, that fails at first blush; was I a
spammer for changing the word "howto" on a page to "how to," because
more people type it the second way? Of course not.'

Sounds like a straw-man to me.
