My 3 Golden Rules for Building Excellent Web Sites, for Humans and Search Engines.
1. Build Accessible Web sites. Otherwise how can people and search engines access them?
2. Build Usable and with good navigation Web sites. Otherwise how can people and search engines use them?
3. Build Human Friendly Web sites. Otherwise, how can people and search engines find and view them?

Kgun, can you be more specific please?
Building Excellent Web Sites is not easy and not every webmaster can do it. The three points you mention is IMO necessary, but not sufficient conditions (to build excellent websites).
There is a principle that says:
"Good enough is best", but that is not the same as "Good enough is excellent."

I get 11 700 000 hits. If I used the rest of my life looking at those pages, I am sure that I would rate less than 100 as excellent.
I admit, I use the word too often myself.
If a site is good enough on:
accessibility, usability and humanfriendliness, it can, IMO, be excellent if it has excellent content. But it can not be excellent if it is excellent on accessibility, usability and humanfriendliness but not on content.
Note: Usable is not the same as excellent (on content).

Good accessibility is excellent content and readability.

Hi webnauts and kgun,
The points you have covered are perfect to have an excellent website but to add up, when you talk about excellent websites,not only content and readibility matters but good navigation and also a perfect presentation of the products and services should be there.

Isn't good navigation a usability issue?

Hi webnauts,
Yes, good navigation and usability are almost same.
Now almost means there is slight difference in the terms... usability is you read the terms and and you follow to use the site and then you revolve in the right direction into all internal pages of the site.
Good navigation is the outlook of the site which brings you at any page from any internal page with one or maximum two clicks.

OK Sarah. If you posed it that way, I must update my quote.

Do you know where the definition Webmaster comes from?
Web + Master
So, I hope you make a difference between Web Masters and Web Amateurs. :)
Just my two cents.
