Summary: great quick read covering helpful information to keep online marketers from falling prey to hearsay. Couple of main points:

• meta tag stuffing will not improve your ranking
• constantly updating your site content is good but it’s not the silver bullet for high seo rank
• blackhat link exchange can be detrimental to your quality score such as massive link exchange to irrelevant sites.
• it’s better to have less links to relevant, high quality sites than massive links to irrelevant sites.
• there is no “magic” keyword density.
• too high density in keywords may lead site to be seen as “spammy”
