Wordpress Plugins

Hi Vita

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

All in one SEO plugin is great, as is Twitter-tools.

I also automatically install add-to-anything on any new site.

yeh I use "all in one SEO" aswell as a few other plugins like

xml-sitemap (automatically generates a sitemap for me)
KB-Robots

OK, here's my lineups:

01. Add to Any: Share/Bookmark/Email Button
02. Akismet
03. All in One SEO Pack
04. Clicky (BEST analytics service, I'm a paid subscriber)
05. Contact Form 7
06. Dagon Design Sitemap Generator (real sitemap page, not the xml one)
07. FD Feedburner Plugin
08. Google XML Sitemaps
09. Greet Box -> BEST! A must have! Much better than "What Would Seth Godin Do?"
10. Homepage Excerpts (avoid duplicate content)
11. Page Links to (BEST page redirection, they said)
12. Really Simple CAPTCHA (used with Contact Form 7, cmiiw)
13. Robots Meta -> BEST! A must have! Much better than "WP Duplicate Content Cure"
14. Ultimate Plugins Smart Update Pinger (original Smart Update Pinger has been discontinued)
15. WP-reCAPTCHA (fight comment SPAM)

Hope it helps

Does anyone else use GoCodes. This one cloaks your affiliate links, and also gives you a record of how many clicks you are getting on your links.

Yes I use it on one of my other blogs. It's a good plugin, very easy to use. But I prefer to use gotrythis as it allows to track more things.

Looks like Ray has posted all the plugins that i currently use.... except "TweetMeme Button" plugin.

Also there is one cool plugin that i am planning to use in the future called "WP-Cumulus". It displays your site's tags in Flash 3D.

I have seen this plugin in action on this blog:

On the sidebar, it's very nice!

Popular posts is a must. Also use akismet for spam- you're gonna get a lot of it.

Jeff Johnson's Free SEO Plugin is convenient because it has a list of his
recommended plugins and tweaks for them. After you load his plugin then it's just a matter "checking things off" the list.

Hey Guys,
