There is a pretty good short video lecture about the flagrantly vague pronouns at http://videos.howstuffworks.com/hsw/20288-english-grammar-6-vague-pronoun-references-video.htm
I also looked at some online examples including an essay at
http://www.cheathouse.com/essay/essay_view.php?p_essay_id=45564
and I do not agree with some of their examples. Sometimes the subject referred to by "it" and "this" in a sentence should be obvious and not have to be spelled out by making the sentence longer. It is a matter of style.
