5) Keyword Use in Body Text.

6) Uniqueness and Quality of webpage content of websites.

7) Exact match Domain (EMD) with unique, quality and relevant webpage content.

8) LSI Keywords in Title and Description Tags.
(As with webpage content, LSI keywords in page Meta tags probably help Google discern between synonyms. It may also act as a relevancy signal.)

9) Latent Semantic Indexing Keywords in Content (LSI).
(LSI keywords help search engines extract meaning from words with more than one meaning. The presence/absence of LSI probably also acts as a content quality signal.)

10) Resolved URL canonicalization issues.

11) Image Optimization.

12) Resolving Broken Links Issue.
(Having too many broken links on a page may be a sign of a neglected or abandoned site.)

13) A website having proper sitemap.
(A sitemap helps search engines index your pages easier and more thoroughly, improving visibility.)

14) Site Architecture.
(Well put-together site architecture, especially a silo structure helps Google thematically organize your content.)

15) Site Updates.
(How often a site is updated — and especially when new content is added to the site — is a site-wide freshness factor and is a ranking factor.)

16) Breadcrumb Navigation.
(This is a style of user-friendly site-architecture that helps users and search engines know where they are on a site.)

17) Mobile Optimized.
Google’s official stance on mobile is to create a responsive site. It’s likely that responsive sites get an edge in searches from a mobile device.

18) User reviews/Site reputation.
A site’s on review sites like Yelp.com and RipOffReport.com likely play an important role in the algorithm. Google even posted a rarely candid outline of their approach to user reviews after an eyeglass site was caught ripping off customers in an effort to get backlinks.

19) Schema.org Microformats.
(Pages that support microformats may rank above pages without it. This may be a direct boost or the fact that pages with microformatting have a higher SERP CTR).
