Many of us are writing blogs these days. Some of us write to have somewhere to share our thoughts, others write to have a place to market their products and services. Whatever the reason you're writing your blog, you'll most likely have need to use some add ons (these are the programs you use on your blog to add features and functionality).
My top 10 favorite plugins are listed below. They are in no specific order, but they are all almost essential in the way I run my blogs.
1. All In One SEO Pack. This plugin gives you added features to help you make sure your blog is found in the search engines, and how its displayed. It's one of the most popular add ons on the internet and I highly recommend it's use.
2. Efficient Related Posts. This is another plugin that will help your pages become indexed by the search engines quickly. The plugin links at the end of your post, to other posts that you've published that are in the same category. Highly effective!
3. MaxBlogPress Ping Optimizer. Ideal if you publish frequently. This plugin prevents your blog from automatically pinging services if you're updating your blog often. This can prevent you from getting banned and therefore reducing your effectiveness. The plugin also adds some other ping services to your list to make sure it's doing a better job.
4. Privacy Policy. Use this plugin if you have AdSense or affiliate products on your blog.
5. WordPress Database Backup. Use this plugin to make sure that you've backed up your site just in case!
6. WP Contact Form. This is a way to have your visitors contact you. It's a great way to ask for feedback or just to let you know of other things to do with your blog.
7. Google XML Sitemaps. This program scans your site and updates an XML sitemap for Google to see. This is a great way to make sure all the pages on your site are indexed and available for visitors to find.
8. Whydowork AdSense. This is a plugin I use to put AdSense on my site. It's not for everybody, but it's a very light and effective AdSense program that will display the Google ads on your blog easily.
9. One Click Plugin Updater. It updates your plugins automatically.
10. Google Analytics For WordPress. This addon lets you track your visitors.
Try these add ons, some will be great for you, but others will not. I use them often and they're some of the best I've found.
