  Hello! Is there any code I can put into the CSS to ensure our website gets higher up the searches in Google?

  When I had a blogger site I could paste the HTML from google analytics into the back but its not that easy with WordPress sites?

  Any help you could give would be ace!

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

  We cannot access the database and edit any metadata on free hosted WordPress.com blogs and insert any code at all. This is made clear to us in support documentation:
  http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/editing-themes/

  CSS editing cannot be used to change anythging at all except appearance and fonts. It cannot be used to edit php of the HTML php creates on the fly. This is made clear here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/#frequently-asked-questions

  The notion that metadata heyword tags can create better SEO on your blog is unfounded. These days search engines pay more attention to your keywords in your content than they do to your keywords in Tags/Categories.

  We cannot use Google Analytics of free hosted WordPress.com blogs. Simple forum search results > https://en.forums.wordpress.com/tags/google-analytics
  Simple support docs search results > http://en.support.wordpress.com/stats/#additional-info

  To improve the SEO on your site you can learn basic SEO tenchinques knowing that inserting code is not helpful as Google doesn’t use it and hasn’t used it since 2009.
