What do you guys think about these search engine ranking elements ratings

I guess you mean as some heuristic to apply when evaluating a site yourself?
It doesn't look bad to me, whether it refelects reality however depends on
what search engine you are talking about. Different search engines will of
course emphasise different parts of the source text and the weighting you
give it will of course be wrong in different situations.

I presume the weighting you give is linear BTW. When discussing some aspects
of SEO, such as pagerank, the scaling appears to be logarthmic. Bear this in
mind when performing any "calculations".
