It is my honor and privilege today to introduce the brand-new version of The
Web Developer's SEO Cheat Sheet. This free and downloadable document covers all
of the important SEO code and best practices that are needed by online marketers
and developers.


Benefits and features



Save the Google searches for your new inbound visitors: This cheat sheet covers
all of the details you would normally spend hours researching online. This
leaves you with more time for the important things (like laughing at
JennaMarbles or pretending you don't watch Vine compilations).

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.



Rand: Great job, Danny! Pound it!


*Reaches out fist in congratulatory manner*


Me: BOOOOM! POW! EXPLOSION!


*Confusion followed by reddened face*â *Saddened apology*


Rand: Erm... good job anyways!



Despite my social mishap :-), Rand and the team continued supporting me and
this resource. Today's version is better than the original and even more
valuable.


Looking back, the Moz team was absolutely fundamental in shaping me into the
person I am today. My career at Moz was some of the most important years of my
life thus far.




After leaving Moz in early 2011, I used the many habits and skills I learned
from the talented team and continued to step up my career.




Thanks to Moz (and partly due to the original version of this cheat sheet), I
am now living my ideal lifestyle by pursuing my bucket list full-time. You can
read more about my story here.



Thank you!




A very special thanks to Cyrus and Dawn Shepard for making this new resource
a reality. Your long hours and persistence have been inspiring. Thanks to the
Moz design team for your artful assets and gleeful glamour (those are good
things!).




Lastly, thanks to all of you for downloading and making this thing a success.
You all rock!
