I would probably detail the inbound links factor. Indeed, a perfectly optimized website will never ranked without good links, that means: - relevant links - links from popular pages - links from trusted websites - topical links from your community - fresh and renewing links And to obtain those links, no better than a good and appealing content or innovative services. SEO is all about that : - Good content / Innovative Services - A good technical structure - A little push trough PR actions - And why not, classic netlinking on major directories Well, all theses elements seem to be quite true and there is effectively nothing really new about that.

H1 probably has diminished in importance a little but to not have any effect at all is suprising to me. Most pages i come across never go deeper than an H 3 tag usually.

The same applies to SEO. The most important thing to understand is how search engines gather their information, what they seek to deliver, what possible factors could help, and what searchers themselves want in return.

Emphasis also plays a part. But, again, the analysis is flawed because their methodology doesn't make any provision for isolating factors.

Whatever versions the search engines upgrade to, one thing they cant go without is -The CONTENT. Write a good content on the targeted topic, keep adding few bits of new information to it, keeping it LIVE! Highlight your keywords/phrases in proper grammatical sentences and marking their presence in form of document summary at start/end of document may also help both; the humans and spiders. That helps them to guess on - what the page is about. The Page Title should be well a formated sentence, commenting about the current document! With new Google Universal Search - the content should now come in all forms- web page text, images and videos! Lastly, I think Its a simple rule to follow - Make it appealing for the people and the spiders will crawl in! Good inshort listing! but to make these effective you need to have a good content!
