It is alive, but they have got tougher on their regulations and rules in my opinion.

They recently lowered the rank of a popular newspaper website from PR7 to PR3, which must have affected their search rankings as well.

Also, if you guys want to keep up-to-date with SEO techniques and when search engine updates occur, I recommend following this guy:

He works for the Search Quality team in Google and posts some interesting insights into the search engine itself.

But to be honest, SEO is only part of the success of a website, you really need decent content in order to be rewarded my search engines, especially content which attracts people.

I watched this person giving his speech or whatever on TED and he said exactly the right words, it doesn't matter how many posts/articles you make, it's what is the most interesting that will attract people to spread your article etc.
