We are glad to see that Google’s Matt Cutts has read our Christmas wish list.

“My favorite post over the last couple days is from Pandia, entitled ‘What we want from Google this Christmas’, he writes. “It’s addressed to ‘Santa Brin’ and talks about 15 things they’d like from Google.”

He does not comment on all our requests, but says that “several items really resonated with Googlers here”. Now, that sounds promising!

One proposal is turned down, though, namely our request for a more frequent update of the toolbar PageRank bar:

“…we slowed down external PageRank updates because if you do them more often than every 3-4 months, SEOs pay too much attention to the PageRank bar, and not enough to the over 100 other factors that go into our scoring.”

This is definitely a valid argument and we will never mention it again.

And he has promised us a Google travel mug! This is going to be a great Christmas

Thank you for the feedback, Matt!

Note: The Matt Cutts post has also several interesting proposals from his readers.
