Penguin Analysis: SEO Isn't Dead, But You Need to Act Smarter | Microsite Masters
Very, very good article.
Short:
No keyword/anchor text over-optimization anymore!
Anchor (keyword) texts GREATLY lost their importance, in fact can be detrimental. Use "natural" anchors and keep "money keywords" at a minimum or avoid them altogether.
Avoid ANY wild sites ("article sites"), crap blog networks etc. which do NOT have subject/category specific sites. Micro sites catering to a specific niche is where it is now. Blog network owners and users MUST abandon their crappy networks (if not already) and start making high quality, niche specific sites.
A link from a site related to YOUR niche is now much more worth while the importance of anchor texts is basically ZERO. Avoid links from unrelated sites.
Private "high quality" blog networks with niche specific "micro sites" still work!
The good news: All of this is actually easy to fix.
