Well I was at the Adsense seminar in Oxford last week and a lot of emphasis was put on speed.

Google has launched instant pages this week further showing their speed preferences.

Google Announces ‘Instant Pages,’ ‘Instant’ Image Search And ‘Instant’ Availability In 32 Languages

Our Adsense account manager told us the same a while back and speed was one of the major reasons we migrated our UK directory back to UK hosting from the US. Be interesting to know how much of an influence it really has on the algorithm, but guess we will never really know...

Really very nice tips .But one thing we should remind that due to update in google & other strategies keep changing after regular interval.

Yes it's big good advice. If your site has good relevance to keyfrase you'll rank high at SE, now what is a matter is relevance of the content

The site position depends on many factors and relevance is I think the most important factor, you should see how other sites do optimisation and optimise your pages like others do.

links building:
Social Book marking
Article and Press Release Marketing
Submitting your website link to high PR Web directories
Creating external Blogs with your website's link
Blog Commenting
Forum posting

The main and important SEO tips are:
Do quality works
Do relevant post according to your site

Bounce rate is all about engagement and your page usability. It's not really an SEO factor perse but it is always good to setup great landing pages that will keep your visitors wanting for more.

Have a clear call to action, that would be a good start in knowing the effectivity of your ads and landing pages.
