GirlGeekette.net new look and SEO

I was getting so frustrated with themes.. some had parts working I wanted, too much colour here and there.. so I decided to strip down a theme I liked to the very basics. From here, I will get the structure working the way I want it too, then I will go back and tweak it to the colours and graphics I want.

My whole thing with this site is to make it as much sEO as possible. It started out with a 6/10 from google.com. Now that I have stripped it and made it bare and SEO, it still retaines a 6/10. I wonder if someone at google doesn't pay attention to these things? I want to improve this one and http://www.aleeya.net.

http://www.aleeya.net is already very popular with search engines. Part of the reason I named the new one http://www.girlgeekette.net and kept the non technical site as http://www.aleeya.net . But, from previousl, Aleeya.net only had a 4/10 on google's page rank when I used PHPnuke. When I switched to wordpress, I thought that the new version which is very SEO, would up the rank. So far, it has not. It is stil only a 4. Girlgeekette.net has scored higher and has only been up a couple of months and does not have near the traffic linking to it that aleeya.net does.

So.. back to work to try to figure this out!
