8. The most important part in SEO is Text, Links, Popularity and Reputation.

9. Make sure your site is easy to use. This can influence your ranking by influencing your link building ability and popularity. More people will come back to your site if it is easy for them to understand and use.

10. There can be a difference between unique content and quality content. Make sure your site has both. You want to have your own views on subjects but you also have to think about what your audience wants to know.
