1. SEO Takeaways – Some run of the mill suggestions:

3. Use images reasonably
4. Include "alt" and "title" attributes in images
5. Use opportunities for internal linking

7. Organize content logically
8. Title tag - has to be unique
9. Meta Description. Make it worth it and unique to the page. Target it to the specifics of the page.
10. Externalize JavaScript and CSS - you don’t need it on the page
11. DIVs vs Table - Structure with DIVs!

2. Duplicate content issues may arise in following cases:

2.  Printer Friendly pages
3.  Dynamic pages with session IDs/URL variant
4.  Content syndication
5.  Localization
6.  Mirrors

3. Some not-so-run-of-the-mill SEO takeaways:

1. www vs non-www is not as much of an issue for Google as before
2. For exact duplicate Urls do use the 301 redirect
3. Domains by country:
1. Different languages is not duplicate content
2. Use unique content specific to the country
3. Use different TLDs
   

4. Domain name registration:

1. Use the search phrase in the domain name. Dashes are better than underscores.
2. Register a “.com” domain name. Survey says that .com TLDs rule the SERPs.
3. Register a domain name that has some age.
4. Register the domain for 10 years.
   

5. No followed links would not be used even for discovery
