Well, to optimize your site if you are using wordpress here is what you can do:

1.- Change your wordpress urls, so that they show the keywords you used in the post. TO do this, in your admin panel go to Options, Permalinks and put other: /%postname%/

2.- Change the title so that it shows the keywords u used in the post. Doing this is easy, with your ftp find the header.php file and between the < title >< title / > tags put the following:


Another things you can do is install the related posts plugin, a google sitemap plugin, a tagging plugin and submit your site to web directories and blog directories.
If you follow all that steps you should rank better with your posts, that is the best way to seo your blog I think.
