I stumbled across a whopper of an article on search engine ranking factors on SEOMoz.org.  After having read a ton of advice on how to get pages ranked, it is great to see a quantified list of items and their relative importance to the search engines.

Since I’m still figuring out what it takes to move up in the search engines, this article helps alot by showing the relative importance of each kind of SEO action.  Since there’s a lot of “noise” concerning good SEO practices, this makes it easier to filter-out the junk and only use techniques that will actually pay off.

Best of all, the contributors for this article are all SEO experts, so there’s more than one opinion being expressed for each of the tactics being discussed.

Kudos to Andrew Hansen for “The Best SEO Advice I’ Ever Received.”  That’s where I stumbled across SEOMoz.org.
