Matt Cutts describes his job in his Google+ profile

While rummaging around on Google+ this morning, I read the “about” page for — and presumably written by – Matt Cutts, whose job title is listed as software engineer but who’s known on the Internet as the public face of Google’s anti-webspam efforts. Here’s how Cutts introduces himself on Google+:

“I’m the head of the webspam team at Google. That means that if you type your name into Google and get porn back, it’s my fault. Unless you’re a porn star, in which case porn is a completely reasonable response.”

As for those of you who share a name with a porn star, well, you’ll have to take that up with Cutts.
