Number 4 actually is counter productive and can even sanbox a site for months.
Also uneccessary since doing a number of your other suggestions would make a site be indexed with no effort.
Other than that, great tips.

So you mean that by not submitting directly to Google but let Google bot find you, you avoid the Sandbox?
Any other people who may have had a similar experience with that?
