Yesterday, Dr. Pete from SEOmoz and I were interviewed by Max Minzer on a Google+ Hangout. The interview was very enjoyable that I felt I wanted to share the archived version with you all.
We covered a lot of topics about the Google Algorithm and the outline of the interview was:
- Google, search quality and the current state of search.
- Is Google being too transparent these days?
- Recent changes in algorithm.
- Future of search.
- The mindset of our beloved SEO & webmaster industry.
It was kind of an extension from the algo hunters interview on SEOmoz.
Here it is:
Forum discussion at Google+.

Wow, I need a new webcam. Or a new face. Or to not have a cold for a week :) Definitely enjoyed the chat, though. Hope I didn't sound too over the edge. It hasn't been my most pro-Google week - I need to relax a bit before Santa makes any final decisions.

Don't worry Dr. Pete. You sounded fine; moreover, your insight is amazing. I believe you "understand" Google very well.

Pete, we were silently comparing your voice to a "perfect radio voice" and "Kung Fu movie audio" in the chat. ;) Thank you Barry and Pete - it was an insightful and balanced (don't worry Pete) discussion. We all enjoyed it very much and everyone I asked learned something new! Looking forward to more hangouts with both of you! :)

This was awesome, Barry and Pete you guys are very influential and you do it with good spirits. Max can't thank you enough for hosting another great #maximpact hangout. BTW. Holy Mozcast! Good thing we applied hurricane shutters in time. All of our sites are stil intact :) need more days like today!

Talked nonsense. Now of you have a clue anymore, you are only trying to act like you know. Pay to play is here

here are my 2 cents - if you have 10 results from the same domain for any keyword, the search is screwed.
