  While plugins are common on self hosted WordPress sites, due to security concerns, they are not available on WordPress.com. There is more info regarding WordPress.com and plugins here:

  Plugins

  However, we do have several built-in features that were inspired by many popular plugins. You might find what you want by searching for it at http://en.support.wordpress.com/

  What feature are you looking to add with a plugin?

  Also, for more information on the differences between WordPress.com and self-hosted WordPress sites, please see:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  Please let me know if you have further questions or if anything is unclear.

  This is a multi-user blogging platform. Our blogs share a common architecture. We WordPress.COM bloggers cannot access metadata. But its 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. http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2012/03/01/revisiting-keywords-and-tags/

  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 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

  The good news is that 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.`
