A bit old hat that article, SEO has moved on in the last 4 years and is now a completly different animal.

You need to consider a much more holistic approach. Keyword targetting is no longer important, people use search engines differently, they write phrases, sentances, ask questions. The employ local or personalised search. They use the wrong words or mispell things.

The SEO target is not to get the #1 slot, it's all about getting the SE to index and rank the site as wide and as deep as possible. It's about drawing people into the site and keeping them there.

Forget about outranking your competitors, it's a waste of time, there are more profitable ways of spending your time:

The Long Tail And The Big Head
Throwing Out the Book on SEO!
How to increase visitors without using keywords


Effective Web Design - It's not that difficult if you follow the rules.

Content, content and more quality content, oh and maybe the odd link with anchor text relating to your chosen keywords might help. SEO is an evolving science but integral to it is the fact that search engines want to provide good quality results to their users, keep that in mind and you won't go far wrong!

now a days if you give your site to to a good designing company they take care of all the tags, meta tags and keyword stuff (i mean they always ask the client to provide them)
the most professional who indulge in those so called bad practices include
keyword stuffing, link farming, cloaking etc

SEO Mistakes are you call them.. I see it as lack of knowledge of web design.
These can range from bad site planning to final execution of plan.
Poor site structure- URL structure,Page structure, content structure..I can go on the whole day.
Coding errors--"Spagethi coders"
