      Hi Guys,

      I was listening to the over optimization penalty Matt Cutts was talking about at SXSW over at Search Engine Land.

      http://searchengineland.com/too-much-seo-google%E2%80%99s-working-on-an-%E2%80%9Cover-optimization%E2%80%9D-penalty-for-that-115627#

      Looking at my on-page reports through SEOMOZ I have A report cards for each page, will we be OK or do we need to take a look?

      Thanks,

      Scott

        Yes you will be ok, its not that sory of over optimization they are looking for. I also listened to it, they mentiioned too many keywords and link exchanges, getting an A i would not consider over done. in fact if you over did your keywords you would lose a tick on your report card

          Next step: Check your backlinks for unnatural anchor text distribution.

          • If I want to rank well on one keyword would it be better to optimize multiple pages on the website for the keyword or should I only optimize one page for that keyword?
