Benefits and features

  • Available both online and offline: You can store the free downloadable PDF wherever you want. Save a hard drive, kill a tree! (It's printable.)
  • Updated for the inbound marketer: With new sections like responsive design and rel="author", you can uphold your flawless nerd reputation by publicly shaming those who make syntax errors in their code (and are foolish enough not to download this cheat sheet!).

Backstory:

It has been five years since I created the first version of this cheat sheet. Frustrated with how hard it was to find technical SEO information, I stayed up an entire night crafting the original resource. Without getting a second opinion, I blindly posted it on the company blog and went into the office.
At the time, I was still establishing my professional self and was an intern at Moz. The company was small, and the future of my unpaid internship was uncertain.
The blog post announcing the new cheat sheet resource went on to become the most popular blog post (as judged by thumbs) in the company's history (in fact, it still is!). The cheat sheet was heavily distributed on popular sites of the day and drove an incredible amount of much-needed links to the still-developing SEOmoz domain.
The Moz team was super excited about how many people the resource was helping, and I gained some desperately needed clout. When Rand tried to show his excitement over the piece, I learned an incredibly valuable lesson about intra-office communication.
Note to interns everywhere. Don't actually make vocal sound effects when your get the opportunity to "blow up" your boss's impromptu pound handshake.
