I’ve never had the pleasure of meeting Matt in person, but I’ve followed him on Twitter and was an avid blog reader for many years. His dedication & passion for the industry is only surpassed by his brilliance. The SEO Community was beyond blessed to have him as their Google liaison and his absence has been greatly missed. Clearly he was meant for bigger and greater things and I’ve enjoyed hearing about all that he does for our country working for the government. Thank you Matt for all your contributions, fighting the good fight against web spam, using your talents to serve our country and sharing your knowledge with us all. Can’t wait too hear about what is coming next for you.
