March 11, 2012During yesterdays panel discussion (Dear Google & Bing: Help Me Rank Better!) at South by Southwest (SXSW) Conference Matt Cutts, head of Google's Web Spam team, announced that new releases of their algorithm will specifically address over optimized sites. The new changes, to be in play within the next several weeks, will penalize sites who are "over optimized or overly SEO".

He specifically cited optimization characteristics such as exaggerated keyword density or excessive link exchanges.
