There is nothing extreme in this tutorial, All these techniques are easy to implement and highly effective. 
Permalinks
By default, WordPress gives out ugly post URLs that read like database entries. For example, a typical WordPress post URL would be something like this:
*www.freakitude.com/?p=n (where n is the post number)
Wordpress has an inbuilt feature called permalinks to output clean urls. Permalinks will use the Apache server’s mod_rewrite module to put clean URLs like *www.freakitude.com/year/month/day/post_name .
You can activate permalinks by visiting options available in your wordpress backend or dashboard.
Google Sitemaps

I am talking about XML sitemaps, its a Protocol that allows you to inform search engines about URLs on your websites that are available for crawling. a Sitemap that uses the Sitemap Protocol is an XML file that contain links to all your posts and pages that you want the search engine to crawl and include in its database.
You can use Google Sitemap Generator Plugin for wordpress to generate sitemaps for you wordpress blog. Then you have to verify your website and submit your sitemaps to google. You can do that through *www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps.
Use Technorati Tags
