two things, and people only ever talk about one. the technical half is making the site crawlable and quick: a plugin for titles, meta and sitemaps, sensible permalinks, categories that aren't a mess, fast hosting, image sizes under control, and no noindex left on by accident. the other half is just SEO that happens to be on WordPress, picking the right topics and writing pages that answer them properly. the plugin can't do that bit, which is why a site with a green light on every post can still get no traffic.
