Does anyone have the link handy for Bretts ranking of SEO basics from 1-10?

Like:

Content - 9
H1 Tags - 7
Page Title - 6

Or something like that?

While I don't know where it is in WebmasterWorld, I did preserve some info on it:

Inbound link text: 10 points.
title: 10 points
domain name: 7 points
large h1-h2 headings: 5 points
first sentence of first paragraph 5 points
path or filename: 4 points
proximity (multi kws): 4
beginning of a sentence 1.5 points
bold or italic text: 1 points
usage in text: 1 point
title attribute: 1 point
alt tag: .5 point
meta descrip: .5 points

Or how about:

Inbound link text: 7 points
Proximity (multi kws of incoming link): 4 points
Outbound links: Dilutes PR

>Relevance of incoming link: 7 points

I've seen no evidence that Google pays any attention to the relevance between the linking site and the site linked to.

Brett's 1-10 rating is now no longer relevant....so those that can actually find the link, congrats in deceiving the general public :)

Keyword domains no longer seem any better to me than keyword in the URL, so:-

www.keyword.com

and www.brand.com/keyword/

Provide an almost identical boost. This is as far as I can tell, and may vary depending on the competitive nature of your field and keywords and your PR.

Following that, it's all about inbound anchor text (including keyword in the URL), page titles and then H1 and H3 tags.

alt image tags seem to be doing quite well too, and worth having.

Keyword density and general on page factors only to be worried about if you're still not #1 after optimising those things. If you are #1 after optimising those, forget about keyword density and the others - just make it read well and look good.

Would you care to enlighten us percentages? Is there a "new" method or rating system? Or just get lots of backlinks in primary keyword text?
