Transcript of Google webmaster live chat released
It can be seen on SEO Rountable here. Its quite long, but worth persisting with. Its not often the SEO community gets the opportunity to fire questions at a spread of Googlers for a good length of time, even if their answers are a little on the short side.Matt Cutts answers a few questions, and makes some interesting points. For example, he answers a question from a webmaster regarding whether google indexes data in its main index from Google Books: "Morris, I don't think that we count publications from Google Scholar in our backlinks right now unless we already found the document on the web anyway as if it were a regular web page."
He also gave an interesting answer to a question about 301 redirects:
"Oliver Gonzalez - 5:10 pm
Q: Is there any limit on the number of redirections 301, a Web site?. In a large site, if you change the URL structure, is the optimum time to do it with 301? or is best done gradually.
Matt Cutts - 5:17 pm
A: There's no per-page limit on the number of 301s you can do, so you could move 100K pages to 100K new location. However, if we see a really long chain of redirects, eventually we will decide to stop following the chain."The post is definitely worth checking out.
