    I believe that the standard theme is the best (the one you use after installing wordpress). A lot of the free theme have a lot of HTML/CSS validation problems, and Google knows how to crawl the standard theme.

    But on the other hand, the theme it self is not that important. Use time on "all in one SEO" for wordpress and "XML sitemap"... and "HTML sitemap"... and getting links.... and maybe most important - good content!

      Actually the theme is pretty important: the quality of coding in a theme will affect site load times, cross browser compatibility and it's crawl-ability - all of which impact SEO.

      Two articles that explain in more detail:

      In this one below, the relevant paragraph is about half way down, entitled 'The quality and efficiency of the underlying code' - you can ignore the rest:
