2. NO duplicate meta information.
3. NO duplicate content.
4. Use H1 and H2 tags on all pages.
5. Make use of <em>, <i> and <b> on choice key phrases, subtitles, etc.
6. It’s not bad to link out, I will avoid linking out to direct competition.
7. Target Keyphrases should make up no more than 6% of total word count
8. Each page should encourage the reader to visit another (good content)
9. External Homepage links should never pull more than 5% of your total traffic away
10. This also goes for advertising programs like adsense (always should be a users last option)
11. Shoot for four page views minimum per visitor.
12. Give reasons to re-visit, consider the use of “the daily picture, video, comic or joke”

14. Sensitive form data should always be protected with ssl
15. Nofollow or 302 redirect obvious link purchases.
