Is there any SEO guide released after latest panda/penguin updates? I need all white hat techniques.

Moz is good. Anything else? I need to know what matters most now and what not so. A single ebook covering the basics would be great.

Thanks in advance!

    I would honestly recommend sticking to the basics at all times....

    1. proper code and template for your site.
    2. reputable webhosting.
    3. mention your address on your website and have a sitemap
    4. have proper urls names - they should match your page headings.
    5- you must use h1, h2 and h3 - they should have keywords mentioend in the url.
    6 - link your pages internally using keywords instead of 'click here'
    7- get relevant backlinks ONLY . if a page revolves around 'chocolate', it should link to a page on your site about 'chocolate'...

    Thats it really, people tend to make this complex unnecessarily , in my opinion. Follow these basics and you will have decent page rankings, regardless of whatever search engines are upto...

      Thank you, but do you really think coding is still very important? I watched Matt Cutts' video that says as long as the site renders well on major browsers, it should be fine.

      Webhosting, physical address... can anyone else share their thoughts on these? I never thought choosing hosting company can be a factor (besides uptime, of course).

      But I agree with you that people tend to make this complex unnecessarily.

        i think it should be fine...

        Tenko: You don't need to get stuff coded from scratch by a pro... just use scripts from decent coders or companies.... lesser the bugs in the code, the better it is seen....these days, id reccomend wordpress for every kind of site....

        The only thing which matters about hosting is:

        uptime.
        loading speed...

        As long as that is fine, everything is okay..... which is why hostings are important. don't use hostings which stay offline a lot.. if a robot searches your site and cannot find it due to downtime... your site will lose rank...if it takes long to load, your site will lose rank

    That's a good slide. Thank you for sharing.

    But I was surprised to see that exact match domain is praised as a good factor there. After latest updates, ain't EMDs rather prone to being penalized?

      Do you think think they are reliable? The posts there are not exactly from Moz - the company.
