If SEO is meant to be "game Google" then yes, things have changed. The Google does not like it. If SEO means "getting everything right FOR THAT PAGE/SITE" then nothing has changed.

Personal opinion "YOU" is what you want to do: YOUR USER OPTIMIZED. Made that decision back in 1999 and have not "failed" since.

I look at the percents from each source and max those. G might be bigger, but B is AS IMPORTANT and for a time ASK and YAHOO. And those percents maintained because sites were optimized for the USER, not a search engine. YMMV.
