    I've read numerous updates about Google and what they have been up to, in terms of focus and benefits for webmasters. From what I can gather, Google seems to be favoring the SMO side of the web, rather than the SEO, both on and off site.
    Has anybody else seen this trend or experienced this slight change?

    I've seen changes since the Panda updates. Article sites and some sites about making money have been hit a bit hard, but I think the basics of SEO still apply.

    Google might give a higher focus on marketing optimization but surely not entirely about it for there are hundred kinds of sites and Google should run different kinds of algorithm and factors to rank them.
