I've been getting a lot of questions about SEO lately (something must be in the water) and Brenda Dawson sent me this great Periodic Table of SEO Ranking Factors.  Besides being clever - the information contained is worthwhile!

This comes from the folks at Search Engine Land and they also have a great site on how to use the factors.

Keep in mind that we always have a leg up because our sites contain or link to .edu sites, those sites will automatically help increase your rank.

Google, as you might imagine, also has great resources on SEO.  Visit Google's SEO page in Webmaster Central or just download a copy of their Starter Guide either from their site or below.
