Here are some i found out myself:
_Never stand up and run, crouching will make you a lot less visible and audible for the zombies but still make you fast enough to outrun them... (only stand up and run when you're covering large distances in the woods or fields ....
_Crawl! you can easily clear entire villages just by crawling around, you're nearly invisible to zombies and survivors are also a lot less likely to spot you and perhaps kill you...

_How to 'shake' zombies: there are several tactics, depending on where you are some are better than others....
*If you're in an area with buildings you can try to enter a door and get out through another one, zombies have trouble getting through doors, stairs, etc. so you have a fair chance of losing your attackers. On the other hand this tactic is pretty dangerous since you might attract other zombies
*The allround best tactic is to crouch fast away from the infected area, make your way into the woods, then stand up and run, now you can either run for a fair amount of time while weaving through trees and other obstacles that might slow your attackers down, or you look for a steep face of a hill and run up there, you'll see that as soon as you hit really steep parts that you wont be able to sprint up them, these are the parts your looking for, zombies will get slowed down tremendously on these or might not be able to cross them at all, make your way up and walk around your attackers in a big circle !
_Fire discipline: firing a gun is most of the time a bad idea, it attracts zombies and survivors/bandits, if you do have to fire, try to stick to a low noise gun like a makarov or another pistol or a remington, don't fire large calibers, it can attract entire hordes so if you do, be prepared to fight for your life ....
*a little tip, try and lure zombies through a door opening, they'll struggle to get in, giving you a chance to pop a headshot into your attackers, i usually get like +-6 kills with 8 makarov rounds simply because i use this tactic a lot, so also try to remember where the closest door opening is...

_Observe before attacking! especially in big cities, take your time to observe it for bandits and zombie concentrations before moving in...
_Orientation, print out a map or study it (http://funpastimes.com/wp-images/dayz/chernarus_big_hq.jpg) you always spawn at the beach and your location will be displayed in the bottom right corner for a short time, use this to orient yourself and set up a plan...
As you can see there are 2 really big cities, cherno(gorsk) and elektro(zavodsk) these give excellent loot but are deadly for beginners because its crawling with Z and more importantly its full of bandits waiting to kill you and loot your body ....

_locations:
*small villages don't give out a lot of loot and are usually not worth looting, they're only worth the effort if you badly need food, drinks or bandages...
*barns and farmhouses located more inland, these give decent loot, ranging from shotguns to crossbows, pistols and even a sniper/hunting rifle... theres also a fair chance of finding vehicle parts and food/water

*Industrial sites: excellent for vehicle parts, and decent/good weapons, machine guns and rifles can also be found here... (watch out for bandits)
*Abandoned military bases/airfields, great loot, mainly guns, ammo and vehicle parts, watch out for bandits, especially in Aircontrol towers....(loots the best guns)
*Big city, excellent loot, very diverse as well, some of the better weapons are available but also more importantly medical supplies, food, water and gear ... (full of zombies and bandits, very dangerous if you don't know what you're doing)
_scavenge a huntingknife, hatchet and matches asap, these allow you to kill animals and bbq them so you can eat them ... (cooked meat restores health and makes you less hungry)
_Waterbottles, these can be refilled in freshwater ponds/basins, 2 are more than enough, drinks arent that scarce and 2 bottles will last you a while ....
**I'll add more tips over time, feel free to share some of yourself !
