2, 4, 7, 9 and 12 have nothing to do with UI. They are just marketing methods...

This is a fair point, but marketing and a good UI have many things in common. The UI is how you interact with a product, and the marketing is how you communicate with your ideal viewer.

Those numbers are marketing methods, that use the UI as a medium for communication.

Without the UI, this marketing method would be useless and have no value.

edit: I think that the blending of the marketing mind with the designer/developer mind is actually yielding awesome results. The author of the site has really come into a groove when combining successful marketing methods with bleeding edge UI techniques. This is a valuable idea and I'm excited to see if the author can keep producing this level of content.

Right but the UI tips can be used in many applications, the marketing tips just apply to specific cases, like when talking to a potential customer.
