Great advice. Mine is this: all good abstracts do the following 1. Background (who what when where) 2. Problem — what's the hole your research addresses? 3. Argument/Hypothesis 4. Evidence — on what basis are you making the argument? 5. Answer the "so what" question — why does this matter? to whom?
