I know I am late to the game on this.    

Those videos are a bit old.  There is a lot of good things said there, but focusing on keywords or anything that was done in 2011 could get you into more trouble.  

This is my standard answer for seo http:Q_28351708.html#a39819489 

Today, there is a shift from SEO to Inbound Marketing.  Trying to hit keywords is virtually impossible because google does not even report back that information anymore.  And that is fine.   The sites that focus on generating a lot of great content on a consistent basis (that is relevant) will be the winners.

Instead of thinking you need "SEO", think in terms of PR - public relations.   Get the word out not just online, but everywhere it makes sense.  Generate such great content that people will want to use you for a reference.  The more people that use you, the more you will show up in rankings.
