I use in my blog all-in-one-seo-pack but for make blog 100% friendly to google you must add this plugin: google-sitemaps-generator

Plugin features:
"This plugin generates a XML-Sitemap compliant sitemap of your WordPress blog. This format is supported by Google, YAHOO and MSN Search."

 

* make the sitemap
* use meta tag plugins.

these are the ways that i use. you can find these plugins wordpress plugin site or your find the with searching google

 

Use pretty permalinks so you can put keywords in the url. Read more here:

You should no index your categories root list via robots.txt to avoid misplaced indexed content.

 

i´m using seo pack... it´s work well!
and use a sitemap generat!

 

There are few good SEO plug-ins available ... It's working well for me.(indexing and ranking well), But still in the research stage... After few weeks I'll post all the success plugins and statistics here...

 

I wouldn't agree with that.
I am getting lots of hits from SEs to my category pages.

 

First thing I always do is to make sure there is no duplicate content, since a standard wordpress installation would produce LOADS of DC due to the category/date based archives. One solution would be http://hiegl.net/search-engine-management/, but plenty of WP Seo packages contain something similar or you can do it yourself via robots.txt

 

Make sure you permalinks are set up right

Make sure you have your ping list in order

Site map is a must

seo pack or other seo plugins

Those are a few

 

In most cases you don't need a site map, google will find all your pages without one.

 

WordPress is very SEO friendly even by default.

 

LOL , A very simplistic answer that I personally believe is to the point.

 

You are right and wrong. Wordpress by itself is SE friendly because it's a blog(even blogger is friendly that way) but if you can manage some tweaks like the custom permalinks, (which by default isnt opted in WP) then you can get the edge over others.

Wp is the coolest blogging tool around by the way!
