Search Engine Watch Moderator, Beu, posted a Search Engine Watch Forums thread noting that Google has published a PDF document named Making the Most of Your Content: A Publisher's Guide to the Web. The PDF document is a printable 13 page booklet that goes through some of the basics of SEO.

The index includes:

Very nice find by Beu!
