1) Don’t Block the Search Engines!
From your admin panel, go to Options > Privacy and make sure it’s set to “I would like my blog to be visible to everyone.”

2) Enable comments:
Here’s how to fully enable comments:

1. Login to the WordPress administration center
2. Click “Options” on the menu bar
3. Is “Users must be registered and logged in to comment” checked? If so, consider unchecking it.
4. Click “Discussion” on the submenu bar
5. Make sure the following are checked: “Allow people to post comments on the article” and “Allow link notifications from other Weblogs (pingbacks and trackbacks.)”

3) Your Blog should have a topic
Some of us would prefer to have a blog where we talk about anything that comes to mind: cars, movies, photosynthesis, dust mites, you name it.

In and of itself, such a blogging style isn’t wrong; however, you can leave search engines clueless as to what your blog’s about and thus for what search queries your blog should appear. And some of your readers might get annoyed in the process as well.

4) Ensure URL Canonicalization
If your blog posts are accessible from more than one URL, you could end up with:

* Search engines confused as to which URL to display in the SERPs.
* PageRank split between multiple pages.
* Duplicate content penalties.


5) Check for Valid XHTML

6) Don’t Leech Link Juice!

7) Use Images in Your Posts

8) Use Pinging

9) Install the Google XML Sitemaps Generator Plugin

10) Avoid Sponsored Themes

11) Use the Power of the Slug

12) Use Tags for Free Keyword Boosts

13) Integrate Social Media

14) Install the All-in-One SEO Plugin

15) Use Category-Based Permalinks for SEO Siloing
