If you read my roundup of this week, you may have noticed that there was a video from Matt Cutts answering to a question about the top SEO mistakes... Having watched it at least a couple of more times, I decided to delve into it a bit deeper and run through some of the things that I have interpreted while "carefully" listening to Cutts.

By now you may have noticed that the "buzz" early today is all about the "Penguin 2.0″ that was rolled out late yesterday. This may actually be a bit of a surprise to you as Matt Cutts on a recent video mentioned that some SEO changes where going to be rolled out within the next few weeks.

Other than cleaning up the quality of the Google index what else could the objective of the Penguin updates be? Much like the icebergs that so often surround penguins, Google's Penguin updates have much, much more going on below the surface.

Inbound Marketing News

While logging in one of my other sites today, I noticed that there was an update for the popular WordPress SEO plugin, All-In-One SEO Pack (AIO). If you have read my best SEO plugins posts, you will notice that it is one of the SEO plugins that I highly recommend, next only to Yoast.

Search Results with No Keywords Present During the last half of 2012, the good folks over at Seo-up did some research and collected data on the topic of links. They basically wanted to find out how Google treats anchor texts.

Great question is it not? One of the things I like about Matt Cutts videos on Google's Webmaster Channel is that often times there are really good information that you can take out of it. As usual though, not everything that comes out from these videos are straight forward.

With the advent of all the changes that has been happening in the SEO realm, one of the things that all webmasters should be doing is tracking inbound links. Inbound links or backlinks simply put, are "off-site" links that point back to your homepage or inner pages.

With all the noise in the SEO sphere about Google+, authorship and brand signals, it's easy to forget an SEO mainstay: on-page SEO. It's not something you want to ignore: a few simple tweaks to your site's content can make a massive difference to providing a better user experience and in your long-term search engine traffic.

Everybody has been talking about the importance of implementing the Google Authorship markup. Some say that it is an important ranking signal, and some say that improves CTR (Click Through Rates). While all the buzz surrounding the use of "rel=author" is widespread, I actually never saw a specific video from Matt Cutts (Google WebSpam Chief) talking about it (see video below).

A little over a year ago, I took a look at WebMeUp's all-in-one SEO software, and at that time concluded that it was a very interesting tool to take a shot at, considering the features and services that it offered. Fast forward one year and the updates and additions are overwhelming.
