I used to come to this site regurlarly five years ago when I used to work in the web field. I then moved into another field. However lately a few opportunities have presented themselves and I find myself looking back through this great site to get upto speed. While doing a search in webmaster world I came across a great article that Brett wrote <B>Successful Site in 12 Months with Google Alone [webmasterworld.com ]</B>. Back in 2003 this site was an excellent resource and I used it to build a couple of sites that regsitered well in the SERPS. My question is are those pearls of Wisdom still relevent today? and what else do I need to watch out for?

Indeed most of the 26 steps still apply. I think when Brett wrote it, there was a 'general approach' in mind outside that of which gets you a successful site in Google. After scanning it briefly I think you can safely skip this step.
(From Brett's thread:)J) Submit
Submit the root to: Google, Fast, Altavista, WiseNut, (write Teoma), DirectHit, and Hotbot. Now comes the hard part - forget about submissions for the next six months. That's right - submit and forget.
what else do I need to watch out for
As there is a dedicated forum for Google specifically and you might not have visited in a while, the Google News library [webmasterworld.com] contains some of the more pertinent threads of late, as well as the older ones.
There is also a hot topic F.A.Q. [webmasterworld.com] which gives a good indication of the more frequent queries people have nowadays relating to Google, and what's assumed to be fact.
Thanks for the pointing me in the right direction. Its good to be back.
