Essential plugins for Word Press

24 replies
Are there any 'essential plugins' that one should have when creating numerous blogs?
I'm looking into getting a link cloaking plugin and also wanted to know can anyone suggest where I would get info on how to install these???

Thanks,
Trish

    You should definitely get "SEO all in one" and "Sitemap creator". You can get some more details about these 2 fantastic plugins by typing their name in google.

    Someone asked a similar question a few months ago, and here's the resulting thread:

    You'll find personal recommendations in that thread, plus links to even more plugins.

    Cheers,

    Hi!
    Here they are: All in One Seo Pack, Automatic Seo Links (for Cloacking). And if you want automatic content linked through keywords to your site or affiliate link Caffeinated Content is must have thing, of course with Automatic SEO Links plugin (Caffeinated content retrieves data, Automatic SEO links finds keywords and links them to your url.

    I totally agree with all of the above recommendations.

    Here is another one I just discovered the other day:

    WordPress Firewall Plugin

    It's great at preventing your Wordpress blog from being hacked.

    1.Firstly you have to download them!

    2.After, upload them to plugins directory of your WP.

    3. Go to your blog admin, find plugins section. You will see Activate and Deactivate links. Choose Activate and you are almost done.

    4. Go to Settings-->And adjust plugin setting for your needs

    5 that is it!

      Thank you, thank you to all who replied as I didn't have a clue what is considered essential.
      I'm happy to hear that installation isn't such a big deal so thanks again for that info!

    Some great reccomendations so far, I always use All In One SEO, Sociable, Google Analyticator, Google XML Sitemaps. These are plugins that can really help with search engine optimisation for your webpage as well as backlinks! Hope this helps!

      The uniquefire plugin and the caffeinated content for wordpress are the two plugins that you must use if you have to take the fast lane to success. Even if these plugins are paid one, tehy are well worth the money

    I agree with the 'all in one SEO' that is a must have plugin. I also use 'sociable' and 'xml sitemap' and the 'privacy policy' plugin if you are having Google Adsense ads on your site.

    The "All in one SEO Pack" is a fable....

    Everyone wants you to believe you NEED this plugin to rank well in the SERP's. It couldn't be farther from the truth.

    I use all natural Wordpress themes (and some analytics plugins) and rank #1 ,#2 for extrmemely competitive keywords in one of the top most competitive niches on CB.

    Folks you don't need the "All in one SEO Pack" and most likely any of the other seo plugins.

    Its all in keyword linking strategy onsite and offsite that will get you ranked well for your blogs.

    As far as great plugins "must have" gotta keep that a secret....

    I can't believe no one said anything about smart update pinger. It's just like the MBP ping optimizer except you don't have to opt-in to an email list and get sold ;-)

    If you're not familiar with either one, basically what it does is when you publish a new post, it pings the selected sites you have listed. The great part is, it doesn't ping again and again if you update a post.

    Wordpress automatically pings every time and if you tend to update a post here and there, it can get you banned from these ping sites. So seriously, use Smart Update Pinger. You can find it here

    Btw, it works on the latest version of Wordpress, thank god! Hope this helps
