Nice tips. Another thing I've found to be really useful is to get a related posts plugin, so there are links to other posts at the end of all your posts (if you get this to display in your RSS feed then even better as it can bring feed readers back to your main site).
Good tips! Here's a plugin that I'd like to recommend: http://www.arnebrachhold.de/2005/06/05/google-sitemaps-generator-v2-final
What about the meta description tag? Use it? Not use it? Use it on the index page and not on others? Recommendations?
Thanks for the tips. I just added the changed the title one, I already had all the others. Chris Pearson just recommended that on his blog two days ago.
Good plugin, been using it for awhile with no problems. Easy Indexing Note on tip #2: Most good template designers handle that for you
