Search Ranking Factors by SEOMOZ

I have been looking for a complete list of Search Ranking Factors and found this useful article on SEOMOZ.org. http://www.seomoz.org/article/search-ranking-factors#ranking-factors
This is the best one I have seen so far. According to SEOMOZ.org, it is based on input from their panel of 72 SEO experts. I have been trying to convince people that SEO is a specialty and if it were done right, it should not be taken lightly. There is the general notion that by changing a few things here and there will boost ranking but SEO has evolved greatly in the past few years. For example, one of the factors people tend to place important on is Meta Keywords. Historically, sites have abused Meta Keywords by stuffing it with lots of keywords. Today, Meta Keywords matters very little. As a matter of fact, it has a 5% very minimal importance according to the article. If you are struggling to tell your company that doing SEO is no simple task, this article can open some eyes.
