Search Engines Optimization (S.E.O for short) is what most webmasters dream about achieving; and work long hours tweaking this and trying that to keep search engines spiders happy and coming back for more visits. WordPress codex itself comes with a few SEO tools built-in, but you know us: More is better!
Those are few of SEO Specific Plugins (SEOPS) in no particular order:

Link Harvest
A plugin to use and use again!
You need to use it at least once a week to gather information about the Links and the Link Juice LEAVING your blog, give up too much juice and down we go, give up so little and your blog will look Egocentric and helpful to nobody. Scan (or harvest) your outgoing links and keep them in check, and if you are big on sharing where you sent your viewers from your blog make a page for those external links!
Author Description
“Link Harvest will go through all of your posts and pages and compile a list of all external links. Then it will create a live updating linkroll for you, based on your actual linking activity.”
SEO Friendly Images
Images are frequently overlooked as an important part of SEO, you need to optimize them and make them..well..SEO Friendly!
Author Description
“SEO Friendly Images is a WordPress optimization plugin which automatically updates all images with proper ALT and TITLE attributes. If your images do not have ALT and TITLE already set, SEO Friendly Images will add them according the options you set. Additionally this makes the post W3C/xHTML valid as well.”
SEO Smart Links
Author Description
“SEO Smart Links can automatically link keywords and phrases in your posts and comments with corresponding posts, pages, categories and tags on your blog. Further SEO Smart links allows you to set up your own keywords and set of matching URLs. Finally SEO Smart links allows you to set nofollow attribute and open links in new window.”
Automatic SEO Links
Author Description
“Forget to put manually your links, just choose a word and a URL and this plugin will replace all matches in the posts of your blog. You can set the title of the link, target, rel and also you can know every moment how many times a word has been changed. In case the plugin finds more of once the same word in a post, it will only change the first one. This is to avoid black seo and inconveniences to the users.”
SEO Tag Cloud Widget
Author Description
“SEO Tag Cloud Widget displays the tag cloud in a SEO-friendly way, using a search engine optimized html markup. It looks the same as the default WordPress Cloud Tag, but with an optimized html markup. You can put it to your sidemenu.”
SEO Booster Lite
Author Description
“SEO Booster Lite detects and analyzes incoming visitors from search engines, and displays the most popular queries in a Widget or via the provided built-in function. The list generated is dynamic, and changes according to the popularity of your blog, making it self-optimizing and totally hands free.”
Plugin Home Page
Nofollow Case by Case
Comments are vital part of your blog, but if you are suffering (like this blog) from tons of Spam comments and some of those are real viable comments your spam filter put there by being False-Positive; then you need this plugin to help you sort them out and approve the good ones.
Author Description
“Nofollow Case by Case strips nofollow from comment links, comment author links, pingbacks and trackbacks (default). Selectively apply nofollow to any comment link you do not like to support. Selectively apply nofollow to any comment author link you do not like to support… The major search engines will not give link juice to your comment link anymore.”
I would need more than one post to list them all, and though you need all of the SEO you can get your hands on; try to go easy and use them one by one: Install…activate…test and move on to the next, and remember that you have to be patient when dealing with Serach Engine Optimization and give the results some time to show.
