I recently read article by Daniel Negreanu about using Limit hold em tactics in overall play.  The article explains that effective weapons in limit hold em mya be effectivce in no limit as well if used correctly.
 
When betting on the flop, usually the player who raises before the flop to bet at least once more on the flop in limit hold em.  You want to quickly take the pot hoping you opponents didn't catch anything on the flop.  If you do this in no limit, you'll win the pot more often but more chips are at risk.  In limit, if it doens't work, there isn't much loss, but in no limit the loss is greater.  So, in no limit when you bet on the flop, try betting 1/3 or 1/2 of the pot instead of the whole pot.  As pointed out in the article, "A bet of half the pot will generally have the same effect as a pot-sized bet, and it will cost you much less if the bluff doesn't work."
 
When it's a re-raise preflop, it usually results in a heads up play for the pot in limit.  The re-raiser represents strength and has control of his-her hand.  If the opponent misses the flop, then the pot can be taken usually (especially if you have good position) with another bet on the flop.  In no limit, you can raise more than one bet so you can actually force your opponent to fold before the flop.
 
The risk is far greater in no limit so players are more careful with their play resulting usually giving up pots they can win.  I think this article points out some intresting points but I don't agree entirely with Daniel's view on what USUALLY happens in limit hold em.  I don't play much limit hold em so maybe someone can shed some light on this.
