What are the most up-to-date SEO technical best practices?

I'm pretty familiar with search engine optimization "best practices", but it's sometimes hard to differentiate old school common wisdom with what actually matters today. Anybody care to shed some light if you are keeping up with these things?

0) have good content

1) follow google's guidelines

2) have websites linking to direct pages in your site

3) have a blazing fast site (this is usually under estimated)
