Google Webmaster Guidelines
Make pages primarily for users. Cloaking (presenting different content to users and search engines) will cause blacklisting.
Build a site with a clear hierarchy. Every page should be reachable from at least one static text link.
Create a useful, information-rich site, and write pages that clearly describe your content. Make sure that your <title> and ALT attributes are descriptive and accurate.
Keep the links on a page below 100.

Bing / Yahoo! Webmaster Guidelines:
In the visible text, include the words users might use as search query terms on your site
Limit all pages to a reasonable size. We recommend one topic per page. The HTML page with no pictures should be <150kb.
Make sure each page is accessible by at least one static text link
Do not put the text that you want indexed inside images (like your logo or graphic)
The factors influencing your page ranking include: the # of sites linking to it, the content of the pages, the updates made to indices, the testing of new product versions, and the discovery of additional sites.

Search Engine Limitations
Crawling and Indexing issues Content behind online forms will remain hidden Poor link structures Pages using Flash, frames, Java applets, plug-in content, audio & video
Content-to-query matching Text that is not written in terms the users use on search engines Language & internationalization subleties Languages
The tree falls in the forest effect…

Unique Text Content
Why duplicate content?
The search engine process: finds a dupe checks to see how many dupes it can find determines where it first saw the content, or where most of the links point throws out the dupes
Manage the content yourself <head><link rel=“canonical”> </head> <head><link rel=“nofollow”> </head> 301 redirects
Duplicate title tags & meta descriptions (use Google Webmaster tools)
