    Matt Cutts hacked

    Try and go there ASAP... the defaced page is still up (probably only for the day of April 1st )

    The question is, was it a real defacing or an April fools stunt by Matt Cutts? It certainly has the hallmarks of an evil genius link baiting ploy. If it were real, you would think that Matt would have dropped what he was doing this weekend and fixed it quickly.

    If that happened to my site(s) (for real) I would drop everything and do something about it as soon as I saw it. So I am assuming it is just a joke, or maybe he was on vacation for the weekend.

    It's clearly an April fools joke.

    Yes, it was obviously an April fools joke. I implied that in my first post.
