Often overlooked - is leaving your beer in primary longer. The yeast is still doing work after fermentation is complete. Rack too soon and that work is slowed, leaving you with a beer that needs to "age".

It used to be 1-2-3
1 week primary
2 weeks secondary
3 weeks bottle carb

I have had great results with 2-3 weeks in primary, leaving secondary to other additions and dry hopping. Although dry hop in primary works well after the yeast drops out.
