4. Add “next” and “previous” post buttons

6. Title tags – use SEO Title Tag plugin for WordPress to assign unique title tags to individual posts. I use

7. Claim your blog at Technorati and use Technorati tags

8. Use “sticky” posts that always appear at the top of the page as a way to add a keywords-rich introduction to category pages. Adhesive plugin works for this.(I could not find download of “Adhesive”

9. Use the Buzzlogic tool to find out which bloggers are most influential in conversations – refer to them and try to get them to link to you.

10. Get into other bloggers’ blog rolls (trackbacks and comments won’t help in link gain.
