[Matt Cutts: Gadgets, Google, and SEO] Watch my site review session from Google I/O: Webmaster tools reports the number of URLs indexed from the sitemap, yet whenever I update the sitemap, usually with a single page every few weeks, the number of URLs Google reports indexed drops!

[Sphinn: New Topics] Sphinn - Matt Cutts on the PageRank Sculpting/NoFollow Issue: Last but not least I wonder what happens to all the poor guys who sold PageRank sculpting with nofollow to their clients who spend thousands of dollars on it over the time.
