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!
