I'm actually surprised that this article made the homepage and has received the upvotes it has on this (typically SEO sceptical) HN forum.
Probably less than 30% of the article would be considered "effective" (e.g. the advice is specific to, and likely to materially increase SEO performance) and the rest is either unsubstantiated (semantic tags and image compression leading to SEO ranking improvements) or unrelated to actual SEO (404 pages and other "engagement" advice).
There are much better articles that break down the basics, ignore the "SEO" parroting and that are substantiated by real data (based on test and trial).

You too can be a success on the internet! Just follow these 10 tried and true techniques. For just a simple investment of $999, my system will show you what to do. Do you want to be a millionaire too!?
- andrei_says_ 7y agoCould you link to one? Would love some high quality writing on the topic.
- Jommi 7y agoI doubt he will link anything that works. It's because of how advertising works. It's usually a zero-sum game in PPC so tips/tricks usually only work when majority of people do not know of them.
