How do you stay current on SEO techniques?

Just now, i was online researching some SEO issues and came across a site that mentioned the Google 'Big Daddy' update. This update didn't sound familiar, so I checked it online and found that it related to an update that happened around 2005. So, essentially this page where I found the information had not been updated in almost 8 years. Just wondering how many others have read that information and assumed it was accurate and recent. How old is the SEO information you are relying on? And, how do you stay current with the latest trends so as to avoid misinformation?

1. If you absolutely MUST use Java script drop down menus, image maps or image links, be sure to put text links somewhere on the page for the spiders to follow.
2. Content is king, so be sure to have good, well-written and unique content that will focus on your primary keyword or keyword phrase.
3. If content is king, then links are queen. Build a network of quality backlinks using your keyword phrase as the link. Remember, if there is no good, logical reason for that site to link to you, you don’t want the link.
4. Don’t be obsessed with PageRank. It is just one isty bitsy part of the ranking algorithm. A site with lower PR can actually outrank one with a higher PR.
5. Be sure you have a unique, keyword focused Title tag on every page of your site. And, if you MUST have the name of your company in it, put it at the end. Unless you are a major brand name that is a household name, your business name will probably get few searches.

I read forums. They always have the latest news regarding seo and updates and even how to adapt to the changes.

I subscribe to several dozen SEO blogs and I'm a member of at least a dozen webmaster forums, too.

While I still see people post outdated information, I like to think that my overall knowledge at this point is pretty accurate because I can take the average of what everyone is putting out there. I tend to trust information from Matt Cutts, for example, so if I see a new video from him being quoted on other sites, then I tend to find that information to be more reliable and potentially current, too.

Content is king, or so they say. It is vitally important but, without keyword research, your amazing content efforts could be going to waste.

If you don't have a passion for your topic then all the SEO in the world won't help elevate your site from a wannabe to first class.
Passion also means that you know your market and can identify keywords that people search on looking for sites like yours and keywords people search on looking for something completely different

Don’t laugh but the way I stay up to date with the SEO techniques is by coming to this site every day or every other day. This is where I learned of the term SEO and everything about it that’s why I come here often to learn. And although I am not complete with my SEO knowledge yet but I’m sure that I am adding information to my head every now and them because of the discussions that I read.
