I'm working on a website and I'm not sure what link structure is best to use for seo.
What google would rank better?
domain.com/users/username or domain.com/u/username
domain.com/video/video-id or domain.com/v/video-id
I also see many websites include ".html" at the end, does it really work those days?
Keep these factors in mind to make your URLs more search engine friendly:
URLs should not contain extraneous characters ( $ # ! * % = ? )
Shorter URLS typically rank better than longer ones
Numbers and letters should only be used in URLs.
Do not use underscores. Search engines prefer dashes.
Sub-domains can rank better than sub directories.

Usually when I convert PSD to HTML/CSS I use simple code editor (Sublime Text, Brackets) + emmet. Recently I tried to use Jade, because I've heard that it significantly speeds up the process, and it seems to me that it slows down the converting process. And here's an important detail - I usually convert one-page PSDs, so maybe Jade is more powerful when using for bigger projects?
The purpose of templates is to place content / markup / etc that are shared between multiple pages in a single place (mostly so that it doesn't need to be edited in multiple places when you change it).
If you are only creating a single page than using a template is pointless (unless that page has relatively complex sections of content that are repeated (e.g. a biographic profile consisting of a heading, an image, a list of data points, and some paragraphs of data, all wrapped in a collection of elements with certain classes applied to them).
The techniques you use to design the markup are immaterial.

I would like to know the page title meta tag value limit according to the various search engines like Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc...
I don't want my users to write bunch of junk words in first, for example, 60 chars and give the needed info, which is important to the search engines, at the end. I need to prevent the important part of the title being chopped off by the search engines.
There are several questions which are not up to date for today. I would like to create a reference here with up-to-date info with your help.
Here is proper article for you.
Optimal Length for Search Engines Google typically displays the first
50-60 characters of a title tag, or as many characters as will fit
into a 512-pixel display. If you keep your titles under 55 characters,
you can expect at least 95% of your titles to display properly. Keep
in mind that search engines may choose to display a different title
than what you provide in your HTML. Titles in search results may be
rewritten to match your brand, the user query, or other
considerations.
Hope it will help.

I've seen some websites where the number of keywords in a single HTML meta tag was 1284 and I was wondering if this is good in terms of improving SEO. Obviously having a few keywords is good but is it always more keywords = better SEO?
Thanks
What you have to remember is that search engines are designed to rank the best websites the highest, not to rank the website that wants to use the best SEO the highest. A website that appears original, genuine, and a good site for users (which is what search engines like) will do far better than a website that looks like it's trying to deceive search engines. Listing a lot of keywords, would look deceptive to search engines and would be frowned upon.
There is a saying in SEO, content is king. It makes a lot more sense to focus on original, authentic content that is beneficial to users rather than just overloading keywords. Search engines like those kinds of sites.
In addition, the top search engines like Google, Bing, and Yahoo do not use the meta keyword tag anymore. That tag has lost most of it's relevance to SEO.

I am currently building an HTML web site and i need the make it multilingual ...
so i was asking what are the best solutions?
Should I use sub domains http://en.mysite.com, or make it simple, e.g.:
mysite.com/en/index.htm -
mysite.com/fr/index.htm
Should I translate everything for all language or are there tools to auto translate?
Finally, how can I make the website detect the users location and redirect him to his language?
Generally, I would say to have higher rank in search engines it might be better to avoid subdomains.
Since you only have HTML, the redirection solutions are not good enough to consider them. For instance if someone decide to visit English version from Paris, to avoid annoying redirections you might need to keep track of this choice by cookies.
Instead of redirection you can still suggest a language for them (according to their location). It's possible by google loader: https://developers.google.com/loader/
You could use /your/path?lang=en.
To detect the users language, see: https://stackoverflow.com/a/8199791/1500022

I am building a website for the first time. The website is regarding sports books and movies where people can get info about these books and movies and also write their reviews and all that stuffs.
Now, I am not really sure that whether to use dynamic or static links for this website! At the time of release, my website will have info about 700 books(which means I will have to build 700 pages manually if I use static linking) which is expected to grow with time. But I read it here: http://www.seositecheckup.com/articles/21> that dynamic links are not most suited for SEO .
What would you prefer? Building 700 pages individually(STATIC LINKING) and build just one template page and let it talk to the database(DYNAMIC LINKING)?
PS: Most of the sites I see around have static links.
Dynamic Linking (as you call it is)
using a DB and a single template - is very good interms of maintainability and Extensibility.
You reduce the time of re-designing or changing links when they are dynamic.
Dynamic links are actually SEO friendly - you can add a description to the link that can help in the indexing.
