    Hello,

    I run a blog dedicated to documenting everything to do with the Apple iCloud. I have developed the site pretty well so far but I feel that I could improve my SEO.

    I'm currently running WordPress with the following plugins:
    - Socialize

    Allowing my users to obviously share the content that I am posting. All my headings are correct I believe but I need to think outside of the box.

    What do you recommend my next step is?

    You can find my site here; http://bit.ly/jA0SVK :)

    Thank you and have a good day.

    You can use "All in one SEO pack" for title and meta tags.

    Theres plenty of ways to improve your ranking within google and thus increasing targetted traffic you recieve,whilst there are many plug ins out there they dont all instantly guarentee succes,a combination of multiple SEO methods are required in order to boost ranking including backlinking and social media.Drop me a PM if you wish to know more.

    I prefer using some SEO plug-ins and just promote my site through the social networking and bookmarking sites.

    Put up a Facebook page for your blog and get everyone to "Like" your page. Then post all updates to your facebook page

    I am trying to stay away from the plugins on WordPress aswell because generally you find a LOT of blogs using them. I want to build my SEO through tags and the actual layout itself. I have started getting traffic from keywords so I'm just going to keep going with generating backlinks and content :)

    Is it good practice to leave the tags displayed on the post?

    no problem with leaving the tags on individual posts as long as you keep it to a minimum amount, say 3 at most
