How dare he! Earlier this month, Matt Cutts told the SEO world that he would be taking a few months of leave. After years of being the webspam teams bright and shinning face, Cutts is returning home to spend some quality family time.

Matt will not be answering any work email for his entire leave, (crazy right) spreading from this week through October. To give you a deep view into Matts personal life, he tells us he will be taking up a ballroom dance class with his wife and trying out a half-Iron man race.

But never fear for Matt Cutts leaves us in the “more than capable” hands of his webspam team and a list of resources to contact individuals with questions.

“So we’re going to take some time off for a few months. My leave starts next week. Currently I’m scheduled to be gone through October. Thanks to a deep bench of smart engineers and spam fighters, the webspam team is in more-than-capable hands. Seriously, they’re much better at spam fighting than I am, so don’t worry on that score.”

List of resources:

• Webmaster forums
• Office Hours Hangouts
• Google Webmaster Central account
• Google Webmasters
• Webmaster blog
• Inside Search blog
• Hundreds of webmaster videos
• Google Webmaster Central
• Webmaster Academy
• Help documentation
• SEO beginner’s guide
• How search engines work

Hats off to you Mr. Cutts, you deserve some time off.
