DON'T use no follow on ALL OF YOUR out going links, that looks like you're hideing something.

Link to other related sites, SPARINGLY.

Have good internal linking, AKA A NAVIGATION BAR, but don't PUT THOUSANDS OF SPAMMY LINKS EVERYWHERE.

Use good descriptions on your images and alt tags, but don't STUFF THEM WITH KEYWORDS because it will look like you are trying to rank well for that term.

Have other related sites link to you, but don't do that WITH SPAMMY LINK FARMS.

Post links to affiliates to make some money , but don't do that AND NOTHING ELSE, HAVE SOME CONTENT.

Post original content, but CONTENT not KEYWORDS REPEATED OVER AND OVER, that looks like you are just trying to rank for certain topic.

Use keyword in title, but don't use NOTHING BUT keywords in title, that looks like you want to rank for that keyword. That's no good. INSTEAD, USE A TITLE THAT MAKES SENSE TO HUMANS.

Do SEO, but not too much SEO, TRAFFIC DOES NO GOOD IF THE PAGE DOESN'T APPEAL TO HUMANS ONCE THEY GET THERE!
