Getting news and/or advice right from the horses mouth is excellent. Just don't let one persons opinion on SEO guide you. You need to research because most of SEO is theory and if you get a "bad poster on a great site" like Ryan mentioned, you might waste a lot of time!
I'm sure there are still places out there touting article spinning and blog networks, but don't be fooled!

Dana and Kevin's responses are great and deserve a thumbs up. I would add a few key site which have not been mentioned. I would place these primary information sites above any secondary sources:
http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/
http://insidesearch.blogspot.com/
http://www.youtube.com/user/GoogleWebmasterHelp
http://www.bing.com/community/site_blogs/b/webmaster/default.aspx
Before looking to other sources, my advice is go to the official source of information.
If you decide you need more analysis, SEOmoz is (obviously) my preferred suggestion. I would suggest the above sources combined with SEOmoz is enough to keep a person busy for a year.
When you do view other sources, including SEOmoz, keep in mind there are great posters on bad sites, and bad posters on good sites. The difference is, the good sites will (eventually) correct any bad information. I prefer SEOmoz because they do an exceptional job of correcting misinformation. Even so, it may take a week for the error to be caught. With such a large, active community it is a huge amount of work to review every post made on the site.

Dana pretty much nailed it. You're already in the right place though (SEOmoz). To add to this list I'd include:
- http://www.searchenginejournal.com/
- http://searchenginewatch.com/
- http://searchengineland.com/
- I'm actually a writer for the SEO.com blog which you might enjoy as well: http://www.seo.com/author/kphelps/
Not really any "formula", just exposure, experience and time with this industry.
Going to have to disagree with the Rank Tracker Add on that Dana is talking about though. If you are running less than 10 keywords, you'll be fine but anything more than that and Google will block your IP and your results will be messed up.
Does this help?

Hi Haviv,
I think you are asking this question in the right place. I am sure there will be different responses than mine that are equally as good but here are my favorites (and totally trusted) favorites:
http://www.seobook.com (especially for the Firefox Rank Tracker Add On)
I am not an affiliate of any of these sites and these are not affiliate links. I just use all of these on a regular basis.
Hope that helps!
Dana

How long for google to de-index old pages on my site?
I launched my redesigned website 4 days ago. I submitted a new site map, as well as submitted it to index in search console (google webmasters). I see that when I google my site, My new open graph settings are coming up correct. Still, a lot of my old site pages are definitely still indexed within google. How long will it take for google to drop off or "de-index" my old pages? Due to the way I restructured my website, a lot of the items are no longer available on my site. This is on purpose. I'm a graphic designer, and with the new change, I removed many old portfolio items, as well as any references to web design since I will no longer offering that service. My site is the following:

Wordpress Blog Integrated into eCommerce site - Should we use one xml sitemap or two?
Hi guys, I wonder whether you can help me with a couple of SEO queries: So we have an ecommerce website (www.exampleecommercesite.com) with its own xml sitemap, which we have submitted to the Google Webmasters Console. However, recently we decided to add a blog to our site for SEO purposes. The blog is on a subdomain of the site such as: blog.exampleecommercesite.com (We wanted to have it as www.exampleecommercesite.com/blog but our server made it very difficult and it wasn't technically possible at the time) 1. Should we add the blog.exampleecommercesite.com as a separate property in the Google Webmaster tools? 2. Should we create a separate xml sitemap for the blog content or are there more benefits in terms of SEO if we have one sitemap for the blog and the ecommerce site? If appreciate your opinions on the topic! Thank you and have a good start of the week!

Google's reaction to site updates
Hi, Is it safe to assume as soon as Google indexes updates I've made to my site that any ranking changes the updates effected will happen at that same time, or is there ever a lag time before these changes ( if any ) take effect?

Does Google do domain level topic modeling? If so, are off-site factors such as search traffic volume taken into account?
80% of my site's organic traffic is coming through a resource that is only somewhat related. Does Google think the main topic of my site is terms this resource targets thus bumping the terms I care about to a sub-topic level of sorts? If this is the case, would putting the resource information into a sub-domain help to solve the problem?

Are you seeing changes in your sites today? Panda 2.2?
I've heard rumblings of some Panda sites recovering in the last few days and wondered if the talked about Panda 2.2 has been rolled out. My own site (which actually had a significant boost after Panda) has seen a significant increase in traffic today (started about noon EST yesterday) and a nice increase in Adsense revenue as well. How are your sites doing?
