It is a really weird set of values they have at Google. On the one hand, Matt Cutts thinks nothing of telling the world what kind of content to produce, and how much of it, and how often, and how to mark it up and organize it in order to rank highly; something which has led to so much bloviating corporate "social media" and outsourced SEO spam that everyone just takes it for granted that most Google results are transient garbage. Yet on the other hand, the company won't regress actual site popularity against search visibility using Google Analytics or whatever to find out what lower-ranking sites people actually use. Which exactly do they think is more invasive?
