SEOmoz’ Search Engine Ranking Factors

SEOmoz recently released what is perhaps one of the best lists of search engine ranking factors I’ve ever seen. More than that, though, the factors are categorized and ranked according to importance as rated by some of the industry’s top minds. Aaron Wall from SEO Book, Danny Sullivan from Search Engine Land, Mike McDonald from Web Pro News… in the SEO world, it doesn’t get much more A-list than this.

Honestly, I can’t think of anyone involved in web marketing who shouldn’t be flipping over this data. Beginners should be educating themselves on every point and comment. Experts should be learning well how the experts are disagreeing with their established preconceptions. I’ll admit, even I was surprised on a few points, although on the whole I felt validated in my practices. Viva la Title and H1 tags!

Information like this doesn’t come along every day, folks. Seriously, I feel like I should have to pay for such delicious data. If you’ve got any interest in SEO whatsoever, read it.
