The Google JuneTune roundup
June 19th, 2008 by Kun
I’ve just participated my first ever Google JuneTune online live chat, asking questions to a wide panel of Googlers from Matt Cutts to John Mueller - who did a excellent presentation on personalisation.
The JuneTune session does seem to be quite informative on the surface of things, offering an engaging forum to over 400 webmasters who joined in the session. Topics ranged from 301 redirects to Site Sculpting to confirming that “there is a future for SEO (Matt Cutts)” and debunking the myth that Google manually edit results for specific sites (apparently they can manually penalise sites)
However, I have to say in terms of the answers to some of the key questions were a little lacking in specifics. Here’s my favouite example:
Q: is position SIX a penalty?
A: Position 6 is always between 5 & 7. One site has to be at #6.
Now, whilst it’s great to state the obvious, I think many experienced search marketers will find most of the answers taken directly from the Google Help pages, without offering further insight.
Still, I think its a step in the right direction and I look forward to the next session!
Update:
Here’s the Full transcript of the session.

Hi Kun, I’m glad you liked it, it was great having you there! That was my answer to the #6 question
and I actually meant it quite seriously. Someone has to be at #6. That said, there are always fluctuations in the search results, we are constantly working on making our algorithms deliver better and better results. If you feel that a site is not ranking the way it should be, you might want to study our Webmaster Guidelines (or post in the Webmaster Help groups) to see if there is something that could be improved.
