What are the essential and best WP plugins?

5 replies
Hi,
On my site I have Google Analytics, SEO All in One Pack and Pretty Links set up. But what do you consider other great plugins, particularly for an Internet Marketing site?

I bet there are some great ones out there which I simply don't know about. Can you help?
Cheers!
Marc

    If your site allows comments then Akismet is a good plugin that cuts out the spam from the comments.
    Google XML sitemaps - makes it easier for search engines to index your entire site
    Broken Link Checker - does exactly what it says
    Ad Squares - nice sidebar widget for displaying and rotating 125x125 banner ads

    Make sure you have some social media share buttons. That will give you a huge boost having those. Get either diggdigg or shareaholic. Those are my two favorite ones. Another good plugin to have is facebook comments for wordpress. Whenever someone leaves a comment on your site using the facebook comment stream, their comment will automatically be posted on their facebook profile. This will give you a stronger social media presence so it's definitely good to have. You can also get wp super cache to make your site load faster.

    That's pretty much it.
