subject: My Top Wordpress Plugin List [print this page] My readers often ask: "What is my top WordPress Plugin list?" If you have your Wordpress blog and are rather new to blogging, you will definitely need one or more of the plugins on this list that can help make your blog site successful. This really is my personal list and I understand you'll find other bloggers who may disagree with my choices and thats expected. Actually, in case you do have a recommendation, feel free to submit them in the comments area below to help the infant bloggers in the world to get a running start.
Top WordPress Plugin #1
When I used to be a newbie blogger, I didnt know about the Akismet plugin and I received a lot of spam to manage. Having installed this plugin has saved me time from having to go through my dashboard and delete a lot of spam. Akismet is a comment spam blocker and works quite well. The amount of spam that I get is limited compared to not using this plugin. This plugin is really a timesaver for sure. We bloggers and internet marketers need all of the help we can get and thats why I wanted to put this top WordPress plugin listing together!
Top WordPress Plugin #2
I imagine that the SEOPressor is on a variety of top WordPress plugin lists given that its that useful! There truly is so very much to search engine optimization today and with Google Panda its even more difficult. We realize that we have to have on-page optimization as a substantial part of a blog site that might be newer than two years old. The seasoned blogs dont need to worry about on-page Search engine optimization nearly as much as a younger site, but if your blog site is less than two years old or if you havent been working particularly hard up until now on Search engine optimization on-page techniques, I suggest having the SEOPressor installed in your blog. The plugin is uncomplicated and performs flawlessly. After setting up SEOPressor, I was able to get all of my on-page optimization done and have the intelligent SEOPressor guide make suggestions. This is an invaluable tool and that is why I had to add this to my top WordPress plugin list.
Top WordPress Plugin #3
Google Analytics is on my top WordPress plugin list mainly because I particularly like the asynchronous tracking which delivers: Faster load times for your web pages due to improved browser execution of the tracking code. Enhanced data collection & accuracy. Elimination of tracking errors from dependencies when the JavaScript hasnt fully loaded. Custom variables are a way to add data about the current page, the current session or the current user in your tracking, which you can use for some very cool things. It is possible to now easily click a button, authenticate with Google Analytics, select the appropriate account and then the right profile and start tracking! This plugin now completely integrates with both WP E-Commerce and Shopp.
Top WordPress Plugin #4
The very best a part of all is, Jetpack plugin is FREE! This plugin features, WordPress.com stats, Hovercards for graviator, sharedaddy, and a spell checker to name a few. Its truly an all-in-one tool for your blog. I think that Jetpack really should be one of the top WordPress Plugins and you cant beat the price either!
Blogging is not as complex as it may appear when you're new at it. There are plenty of duties a blogger has to do in order to make their blog site successful and plugins are a small but essential part. Feel free to add to the list in the comments section.
