Google published a very handy report called Google’s SEO Starter Guide, version 1.1 on the 13th of November 2008.
The original aim was for this document or rather “list of best practices” to assist teams within Google. But, Google decided that it would also be useful for webmasters that are not that familiar with SEO or Search Engine Optimization and will answer the frequently asked question “How do I improve my site?”
According to Google it “covers around a dozen common areas that webmasters might consider optimizing. We felt that these areas (like improving title and description meta tags, URL structure, site navigation, content creation, anchor text, and more) would apply to webmasters of all experience levels and sites of all sizes and types. Throughout the guide, we also worked in many illustrations, pitfalls to avoid, and links to other resources that help expand our explanation of the topics.”
Download it, print it and use it as a reference guide. (It’s only 22 pages)

All the best,
