"I will give my two cents worth... In my experience as of late... TRUST is one of the most important variables Google is looking at... If you have GTrust then your site has a much better chance of ranking well then if you go after all of the assumed variables being listed above... You can "perfectly" optimize for on-page and off-page factors all you want but if you don't have GTrust I just don't think I will see you in the Top 10 of anything competitive... My mindset changed a few months ago when I noticed this and I now "strategize" about what I can do to gain more TRUST then "link power" or focus on "density & quantity factors"... I also personally "think" that some highly trusted authority sites are "whitelisted" in a way that the new "GFilters" don't seem to have much affect. Anyway.. that is my two cents worth

in
that thread.
I am setting up some new sites now and think of the following:
- Code shall preferrably (not all affiliate (included Google AdSense) code are and you do not know the effect of making minor modifications) be X(HT)ML valid.
- I write content as I would write it before the internet. Why should I look for competitive KW's. Am I then writing for human beings or bots.
- Make it as simple as possible, but no simpler.
