WordPress and SEO

The Undersigned has a good article on optimizing your WordPress blog for search engines. It also has a collection of SEO articles from other sites including mine.

Some quick tips I would like to give you are

select a permalink structure with the post title in it. Do not change your permalink structure once you have selected it as changing it will probably invalidate all of the links coming to you
make sure that your post title comes before your blog name on your title
Use keyword rich post titles
use <h1> tags for your blog and post titles
make proper use of alt tags. End them with a period (.)
Use tags on your blog.
Use Related posts plugin which will help search engines to dig deeper into your blog
Use Google Sitemap Generator to let Google know whenever you update your blog.
Use Landing Sites to show related posts to visitors search on your blog
