SEO ThreatI am happy to say that the majority of our industry thinks that attacking Google's head of search spam, Matt Cutts, as wrong.

I ran a poll asking Should SEOs/Webmasters Attack Google's Matt Cutts?

This was an anonymous poll, so I expected the response to be much more negative but only 34% said they think it is appropriate to attack Matt Cutts. 62% said it is not appropriate and 4% said they do not know.

To learn more about this topic, see our post from couple weeks ago. Here is the poll image:

We had almost 500 responses to this poll, but... Disclaimer: Please see my poll disclaimer post before coming to any conclusions on these results.

Forum discussion continued at Cre8asite Forums.
