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*… *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!
