use link-a-dink plugin that links to your posts/homepage whenever a designated keyword phrase is used in a post. I had used it in a niche blog of mine and it was really worth the internal backlinks.

I don’t have any trick to share but a good advice would be to check Google Webmaster Central to identify any issues with the site/blog and fixing them. Not only does this improve User Experience & Search Bot’s indexation, helps you have a clean site that anyone would love to browse around!

If you have a blog or site that provides some service you might want to optimize your title tag and description tag with phone number which is beneficial if users are using mobile search, could bring you few leads as Google converts them to a dial-able number which when clicked dials to the number directly!

Finally, try to have a catchy title to your posts..no one (atleast me) checks all your content… first impression is best impression..if you have very good title chances are users might read your body content or click the link to read on web….!!

Also, try using Zementa ( http://www.zemanta.com/ ) plugin for WordPress (Hosted & Installed), Blogger! Helps you with adding photos/pictures to your blog post along with related posts from blogosphere. P.S: You might be linking externally to other site with similar content, chances are your blog will be noticed by the blog autthors (pingback & analytics/logs).

Cheers!

I’m pretty new to SEO and I don’t have any favorite trick to use but I’m using a Platinum SEO to keep the name of the article different from the page title.

Definitely All in One SEO is a favourite plugin of mine, and probably the most important while dealing with this topic.

@Niyaz – I can’t possibly disagree with you. It all makes sense.

@Jennifer – You might want to also consider adding Google alerts for links to your blogs. But they aren’t SEO tweaks actually. Meanwhile, cross referencing is an excellent way to distribute page rank and increase spidering.
You might want to consider shifting to WP. Life would be easier that way.
