Use h2 tags for your post titles - Search engines like Google love heading tags. The lower the number in the Header the better. Use h2 tags for all post titles and h3 for sections within your posts/pages.

Make your post titles into links - On archive pages, and on permalink pages, make your post titles link to the permalink page (even though it just link to itself). Have you heard of Google Bombing before? Didn’t think so..

Optimize your Page Titles - Your title tag should contain more than just your blog’s name. It’s a great place to put some keywords in. Try this format: “%the Post Title% - %Your Blog Name.COM%.” Your average post title probably has good keywords relevant to your post, right? For your index/home page, you want something like the name of your blog, and either your tagline (you know, that witty line you came up with!) or just a list of keywords that are relevant to your site.

Change Your Permalink Structure - If you use Wordpress, do not use the default permalink style or ?p=page-number. If fact, the best way is to input a custom structure field such as: /%category%/%postname%/.

Optimize Post Slugs - Many blogging platforms, such as Wordpress, offer a “Post Slug” feature that allows you to tweak the URL of the post your working on. When using you can change name of post to something SEO friendly.

Use Meta Tags - While meta tags don’t have as much value placed on them as they used to, there still is some, and it’s a good idea to use them.

ALT and Link Your Logo - Make sure your logo links to your blog’s homepage. This is more of a usability thing than SEO advice, but it’s still a good idea. On a SEO note, make sure you use an “alt” tag on the image, adding something such as the blog’s name to it.
