What should be the horizontal distance in feet for a ladder to the wall?

The best tip I've come to is that for every four feet of height you have to climb, move the base one foot away from the wall. Better still is to have someone foot the ladder, or to fasten the ladder with a rope, preferably near the top of the ladder to avoid the ladder sliding sideways.
