SEO Cheatsheet by Rand Fishkin

Rand Fishkin at SEOmoz has made available his "SEO Cheatsheet" for downloading. This is the same sheet he hands out to conference attendees of one of his sessions at Search Engine Strategies in New York. It is a simple list, definitley not as extensive as his "Search Engine Ranking Factors" article which to date contains about 103 factors/tips related to SEO, but can be helpful if you are just starting out in the filed of searche ngine optimization.

You can download it at http://www.seomoz.org/2006/seomoz-cheatsheet.swf but Rand recommends that you print it using using Flash's built-in print function so it will scale properly (rather than your browser's function).

The list deals with the following asspects of SEO:

• On-Page Optimization
Search-Friendly Architecture
