Thanks Bolo! I don't mean to be rude, but any experienced programmer could take a look at the code for this plugin to see if there is any unwanted code that needs to be removed? The reason I'm saying this is because, I've seen that sometimes Dan includes some 'unwanted code' in the free stuff he gives out, possibly collecting information to his site.

But, thanks again for the heads up! I don't really know how to use pop-ups like this effectively though. Anyone have any advice?

Wondered if your members could share which Wordpress plugins they are using which actually give some benifit to your blog. There are thousands out there and you can waste an awful lot of time if your not careful.

Hi Lloyd,

For SEO you can try this plugin:

Except this one here is a list of some other useful plugins that I'm using myself on my euserreviews.com blog:


* Adsense deluxe: I'm not using it for displaying adsense ads though, instead I use it as a template tool to display the same thing on different posts.

* CForms II: It's the best plugin I know to create contact forms.

* Evermore: It automatically adds a <!--more--> tag in my posts if I forget to set one.

* Feedburner

* Headspace 2

* Intense Debate for commenting

* Similar Posts

* Subscribe Remind

* Wordpress Popup Scheduler

Dear Vita Vee,

Is posibble to know what plugin do you use in order to do not show all of the path for your categories, cause you're showing only the final category, and not the parents of the categories showed.

Thanks,

Hello Alex,

I'm not using any plugin for that, this only depends on the wordpress theme you are using. You can either use another theme or edit the source code of your current one. I'm not familiar with the wordpress API so I don't know what you have to edit exactly.

Vita Vee,
Thanks for the reply. I have the flexsqueeze theme too, but I don't really found where to adjust any option in order to show only the final category, and not the parents of the categories.

thanks and regards,

Slick social plugin (not free) available as a WSO...it automatically posts your latest post from wordpress to other web 2 sites and some social bookmark sites...just started using it, takes a while to set up but you can outsource that... http://www.warriorforum.com/warrior-spec...oDQJwWTQeK

I recently purchased another software called "WPMage". It is a license to builds auto-content pulling WP blogs for building Adsense sites very quickly while selling amazon/cj/ebay products.

The plug-ins are already included and builds sites apparently faster than with the Fantastico tool. It gives the ability to back date posts up to two years and hits multiple kwd strings at one time. The seller-Jacobs encourages buying older/expired domains with PR and backlinks for you blogs.

Any thoughts or success/failures using this tool and the plug-ins?

Hi Tony,

Thanks for that info - it is a very interesting Wordpress plugin. I have just sent the developer an email with a few questions about it.

Keep us posted on your experiences with it!

What is thought of KeywordLuv and CommentLuv. I notice commentluv is used by alot of people that don't use keywordluv. Not sure why. Is there an issue with losing link juice?

Vita, wouldn't that just be permalink structure Alex is talking about? /%postname%/ rather than /%category%/%postname%/

Here's a list of ones I have used over the years..

Some are paid for, but majority are free.

- Akismet (spam)
- All in one SEO
- cryptx (for clients that have to put email address on the site, it encrypts them)
- cute-links (similar to go codes but with some nice stats)
- embedded-video-with-link (discontinued, but still works fine)
- flash video player (helps with embedding the popular JW player)
- Go codes (but now use cute links)
- Google-analytics-for-wordpress (yoast makes some killer plugins)
- Google maps for wordpress (if you need them, you can add to each post, as long as you have a API key, from google, which is free)
- google xml sitemap generator
- maintenance mode (if you need to make some changes and put the site under maintenance
- maxblogpress-ninja-affiliate (converts keywords into affiliate links - paid plugin - he has some killer plugins too)
- maxblogpress-ping-optimizer (only allows you to ping post once, so you don't get dont re-pinging posts if you made an edit)
- nextgen-gallery (great for galleries and using it with imagerotator from JW player for leaderboard images)
- pagemash (made my life so much easier for organizing parent and child pages under one another)
- podpress (best plugin for making a podcast)
- psychic-search (killer plugin for seeing what people searched for on the site and if any articles were written on the subject, if not you now know what to write on as people are searching for it
- redirection (especially for old static sites that you need to forward to new url structure)
- related posts
- robots-meta (as mentioned by others - another killer yoast plugin)
- sexybookmarks (used to use sociable, but found this one to be better)
- subscribe to comments (but now I saw Vita's plugin he uses and will be switching to that)
- wp-polls
- OpenX (as I installed OpenX ad servers on one of my dedicated servers..and it works a treat)
- DB Cache / Super Cache (Caching queries - takes some of the load off the server especially when server is getting busy)
- Lightbox (I have used in the past)
- Amember (for membership sites)
- ClickTale (records people's interaction via screen recording when they come to the site, as well as gives heatmaps and some other nice things - all so you can see what they are doing on the site and if they are getting stuck)
- Feedwordpress (similar to auto-blog)
- Gravity forms (this is a paid one, but it one craps all over the other ones - even does conversions - visitors to completed form - I used to use CForms - but was limited to some of the flexibility)
- Sitepress multilingual cms (I have only installed this on one blog and I was pretty impressed)
- Bind-User-To-Cat (when you want more control over what admins can do in the admin panel - eg. only certain admins can post to certain categories)
- WP-Tesimonials (pretty basic plugin for tutorials)
- SILO Builder (from Dan Raine - from 30 Day challenge - paid plugin)
- RSS Bomber (part of Dan Raines plugin - it converted the RSS feed of each post from comments to the actual post, helping with SEO)
- TestIt (split test your posts - make sure you turn off auto-update post, otherwise this thing gets a little screwy)
- Simple Tags (helps with coming up with Tags from suggested sources)
- User Roles (for those wanting to have more control over what admins do in the system)


That's about it for now!!
