I found this article useful from SEO perspective but I would like to add some more things in your sharing.
In no 5 as you have described as ‘External links as a voting factor’.I totally agree with you but these links are useful unless they caught as spam.We can haave various external links through Scrape box, Xumer blast and Senuke but they are just useless and most of the time play like ‘no vote’ instead of thousands of backlinks.
In no 9 as it’s mentioned ‘Outbound links as keyword anchor text.’.Yes but keep in mind that while outbound linking, always follow ‘rel = nofollow’ tag otherwise you will be losing your PR in next crawling.
All other things are fine enough and pretty well

Thanks
Hi Imran,

“Outbound links as keyword anchor text” – You are right when you said to add ‘rel = nofollow’ in external links. But I believe that PR is no more a factor to consider.
(This is a debatable point)
