    Sign up for a google webmaster tools account and use it to see "how" google sees your site. It can provide you will all kinds of good information, such as what google thinks your targeted keywords are, alt tags on inbound links,,,, all kinds of good stuff.

    Get more users to post quality content. If you have good content, some flame wars and so on people will do the seo for you. For example if you have some good tutorials - people will link to you. Use linkbites. And clever trolls.

    I agree with Candise. Link building is probably one of the best things you can do
