An interesting list by and large though more elaboration on many of your points would have been more meaningful. For example, what is "Average" today?
Validation is also a tricky situation. Do you go for loose, or strict? You don't really offer insight as to the pitfalls or benefit of either or why 100% valid code is beneficial to a visitor.
Some of your stuff I would just nitpick; like "Click Here" to me is still an acceptable form of hyper-linking in limited situations (and particularly useful to people who aren't really that familiar with links; yes they are out there).
But one thing I would add. "Small Fonts". I had to squint to read this list.

Thanks for your comments/suggestions Rob. Yes I will elaborate in more detail on another entry, in this one I just wanted to give an overview of all mistakes to avoid.
I normally go for HTML or XHTML Transitional and rarely strict.
100% valid code in my opinion is beneficial for search engines ranking because they'll spider the site much better, most visitors probably won't notice the difference unless the website is badly coded. However valid code may increase a website's speed therefore user experience.
I have to disagree with when saying that “Click Here†is acceptable, I always try to use anchor text that is relevant. This practice is highly advisable from the SEO point of view.

Wow thanks for those helpful tips. Sometimes I am really struggling with the design for my websites because it is not an easy process. If you have done a mistake, you can spend hours searching for it. And after all you will find out that it was a very small and easy mistake.. So thanks one more time for these tips, they will definitely help me in the future. I will be waiting for other great entries from you.
