Anyone Have an SEO Standards Document?

Hello. I'm trying to develop an SEO Standards document for our company. This will contain all the SEO "rules" we'd like to follow when building new sites (we are a site development agency just getting into SEO). Does anyone out there already have a document like that they would be willing to share? I would like to have as many "best practice" standards to choose from as possible and I know that my list is missing many...

Thanks in advance!

If you are looking for a good doc, check out some of the great information on BruceClays website. It would be a great resource for you to begin with.

Thanks, guys. I'm familiar with Bruce Clay's ethics page and it has a lot of good stuff.

What I'm really looking for is some kind of concise list of standards that I can hand out to the other programmers - "Do this, don't do this" - with topics like Title Tags, Meta Tags, Content/Code Ratio, Spider Information, etc.

I've got all the basics in my head...just need a little help spreading the word and convincing the others to agree with me ;)

You wont find a definitive standards page anywhere that is credible. Many of the top SEO's and companies have tossed this idea around (something similar to World Wide Web Consortium but that would be tough.
