    Relevant content & relevant links, what keywords is it you're targetting?

    If you post the url and let us know the keywords you are optimising for I'm sure there's somone who'll be glad to take a look

    Is your Wordpress site already set up this way?

    1. Title should be Post Title | Site Name
    2. In your source code, post content should appear first before sidebars
    3. It's better not to have the description and meta tags at all than to have them repeat for each post
    4. Set your post URL to this format: domain.tld/post-title
    5. Make sure the links to Comment RSS and site RSS are set to rel="nofollow", or alternatively, remove them from your templates. Google has a bad habit of indexing the RSS feeds instead of the main posts, and what happens is that the main posts go into the Supplemental index

    If you can provide a link to your site, I could probably come up with some advice.
