    I will be visiting someone with a full WordPress site. I see that their page <title> just quotes the URL, and <meta name=”description” isn’t even present in the header. I would like to edit this for them for SEO. How do I do this?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    You are confusing WordPress.COM blogs with WordPress.ORG software installs. WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

    WordPress.COM is a multi-user blogging platform. Our blogs share a common architecture. We WordPress.COM bloggers cannot access metadata and insert anything into the <header> or into the <body> http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2013/03/22/seo-on-wordpress-com/

    WordPress.com SEO is very good. If you had two identical sites, one hosted here and one self-hosted using an SEO 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.

    The bottom line is that search spiders can detect keywords in textual content and that’s is what they are focused on. http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2012/03/01/revisiting-keywords-and-tags/ This may help too http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2012/12/05/keyword-power-in-the-blogging-world/
