  Please read the support docs and become aware of the plugins that are already installed such as Akismet. They are built-in to your blog and every WordPress.com hosted blog and are operational without your doing a single thing.

  google xml sitemaps
  To verify blog ownership of a WordPress.com blog with the major search engines you must use this process > http://en.support.wordpress.com/webmaster-tools/
  Note: Even if you do not verify the blog the content will be indexed by search engines so don’t feel panicky about this please.

  Note also that WordPress.com automatically supplies sitemaps for our blogs to search engines – we do nothing. http://en.support.wordpress.com/sitemaps/#xml-sitemaps-for-search-engines

  All in SEO
  I have used that plugin on a self hosted install and when learned basic SEO and disabled it my blog did better. Absolve your mind of any notion that a plugging can do a better job of SEO than an educated human mind can do please.

  This is a multi-user blogging platform. Our blogs at WordPress.com share a common architecture and we bloggers cannot access metadata. That being said it’s of interest to note meta titles, meta descriptions and keyword metatags are not required for SEO purposes and Matt Cutts of Google has said that as far back as 2009. Search engines are focused on keywords in your content. What is important is keywords found in your content. http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2012/03/01/revisiting-keywords-and-tags/

  WordPress.com SEO is very good. If you had two identical sites, one hosted here and one self-hosted using that same plugin, the site hosted here would have better SEO than the self-hosted site. WordPress.com has huge SEO and you get the benefit of that by having your site as a “subdomain” here.
