Page 3 - Nofollow test... are they really not followed?

Visio... Are you saying that M. Cutts is nothing but a Google mouthpiece that could and likely does purposely mislead his readers? Do you really think our Matt woud be that shameless? How dare you!

Geez... it's getting might deep in this thread... fathom talkin out the side of his mouth... SEO_AM asking dumb questions... Matt Cutts not a webmaster...

You guys need a vacation and a case of good beer.

Being retired, I am on a continual vacation, but are you offering FREE BEER?

Ok more statements by Matt in at WordCamp 2007 (feel free to believe it of not )

1- One key development that Matt shared with the audience was that underscores in URLs are now (or at least very soon to be) treated as word separators by Google. That's great news, because it historically hasn't been that way. Back in 2005, Matt stated that Google did not view underscores in URLs as word separators. That meant that in a URL like http://www.mysite.com/iphone_review.html Googlebot couldn't "see" the words iphone or review. Instead it read iphone_review as one word. I wouldn't recommend targeting "iphone_review" as a keyword, as I doubt anyone will be including an underscore in their Google query.

2- Matt claims that Google treats URLs with a query string the same as static URLs. Caveat: as long as there are no more than two or three parameters in the URL, that is! Put another way, you won't take a hit in your Google rankings if you have a question mark in your URL; just don't have more than two or three equals signs in the URL.

3- Matt stated that the number of slashes in your URL (i.e. the number of directories deep your page is) isn't a factor in your Google rankings. He went on to say that although it doesn't matter for Google, it is rumored to matter for Yahoo and MSN (Live Search). Matt addressed this because I specifically asked the question from the audience.

4- According to Matt, the file extension in your URL won't affect your rankings. So it's inconsequential whether you use .php, .html, .htm, .asp, .aspx, .jsp etc. The one extension you should avoid for your Web documents? .exe.

As EGOL would say -- "free beer isn't worth much, and cheap beer is worth even less!"

Why I never... lol
What I am saying is that Matt's interests lie with his company not webmasters, anyone foolish enough to think mattcutts.com was registered for webmasters benefit is really naive. It was registered to sway webmasters where Google wants them to go.

Do I hate Matt? Nah I have talked to him briefly before, he is an okay guy and a really great work ethic but as far as basing my work on his say so... not going to happen.

If you haven't noticed by now I am very often politically incorrect

Stop talking about beer, I will have long weekend this week I can t wait to get my case of Corona with some lime and go away from the SEO world, matt, Visio and all other SEO guys here

lets see if i understand this concept correctly.
i have about 20,000 pages indexed in google but i have only about 1000 of them that matters to me. if i make the link to the other ones no follow then the serp of the other pages increase
the second question would be as to time frame for the changes to take effect
