 * I want to add text lines into the source of my page so that it will be optimized
   for search engines to pick up when looking for key words. Can I do this with 
   WordPress? Is the actual code beyond my control and out of my reach. Anyone have
   any suggestions?

 * 1. keyword “tricks” to get search engines to pay attention don’t work.
    2. I 
   think you are talking about meta tags, which do work: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Meta_Tags_in_WordPress](http://codex.wordpress.org/Meta_Tags_in_WordPress)
   3. There are some plugins available which will also help you add keywords back
   into your meta tags, which should be in that article, too, or look at [http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugins](http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugins)

 * WordPress works so well out of the box with search engines that I wouldn’t mess
   with adding anything that might be even remotely considered spammy. I don’t even
   mess with custom permalinks and I get great results. Put out good content, updated
   regularly and work to crosslink with other relevant sites.
 * And by the way, adding your site link to your user profile gets you a spiderable
   link every time you ask a question, fwiw.
