I have few more.
- DO NOT images where you can use text. Text could be formatted to look nice using CSS
- DO NOT use to many parameter in dynamic URLS.
- DO NOT exceed 100 links on a page

It's one of the blackhat techniques.

- DO NOT create multiple domains to host similiar content. DUPLICATE CONTENT will remove you from Google index ... if caught

The Basic Point is that,
-- Do not act upon copy & past formula
-- Do not make an irrelevant or bluffing comment

# choosing a title that has no relation to the content on the page
# using default or vague titles like “Untitled” or “New Page 1″
# using a single title tag across all of your site’s pages or a large group of pages
# using extremely lengthy titles that are unhelpful to users
# stuffing unneeded keywords in your title tags
# writing a description meta tag that has no relation to the content on the page
# using generic descriptions like “This is a webpage” or “Page about baseball
cards”
# filling the description with only keywords
# copy and pasting the entire content of the document into the description meta tag
# using a single description meta tag across all of your site’s pages or a large group of pages

Have non specific page tiles like php?103 or p1098.

Go for text text text instead of images or numbers if you have a chance.

Images called 088
are best described as Gourmet Gift Basket

Good Luck and be patient
