JohnMu, a face we all know too well from the forums we cover here, has officially joined Google as a Webmaster Trends Analyst. He announced his new job at Google Groups and his new personal blog.
In two weeks, come September I'll be working for Google as a Webmaster Trends Analyst, based in Zürich, Switzerland.It's been a great couple of years here in the Google groups. It's been great to work with so many different sites, with so many different people and backgrounds. I've learned a lot from you all, especially those of you with "uncomfortable" opinions. I know that things are not always so easy for webmasters, especially those with smaller sites. I've seen how small changes can lead to disasters, I've seen how other changes have led to better sites than ever before.
I hope that together with Google we can take things to the next level!
JohnMu has created dozens of tools for SEOs and Webmasters at http://oyoy.eu/. He has also been a strong presence at Google Groups, answering Google webmaster questions on a daily basis. In addition, JohnMu has been a frequent contributor at many of the SEO forums we cover, such as Cre8asite Forums.
Google could not have found a better individual to continue the communication between SEOs/Webmasters and Google Web Search.
Congrats John Mueller and Google!
