    You need to download the following plugins and activate them on your blog:
    All in One SEO Pack
    Google XML Sitemaps
    SEO Smart Links

    I cannot post active links yet so you'll have to Google them :)

    You may either install and properly use the SEO Title Tag plugin or do the following:
    1. Download and install this plugin.
    2. Replace <?php get_header(); ?> with the context in header.php on single.php, page.php and category.php.
    Work out the best titles for the different versions and use the plugin to create different versions of
    category.php and single.php with their own versions of title tags.

    Content is king and back links are queen is a saying I heard for the first time a few days ago.

    (not sure if you all agree with that or not)

    So basically those plugins above, + keywords on posts, keywords on description meta tags (header.php), keywords on keyword meta tag (header.php), interlinking between pages/posts, unique content, backlinks from Page Ranked sites related or not with your content...

    Is that it ?

    Allinone SEO is a good plugin for Wordpress SEO.
    You can edit your template to include meta tags manually.
    you can even add a load of content and redirect every page to an external sales page. Thats kinda black hat though.
