Most Essential WordPress plugins for Bloggers
Posted on May 28, 2011
Their are literally thousands of different plugins available for WordPress these days and most of them are pretty cool. However be advised that when you install and activate a plugin it has the ability to slow down your site a bit, and therefore installing 100 plugins is not something that you want to do. A slow site is bad both for search engine rankings as well as a users ability to get around in a timely fashion.
So what are the top 5 plugins that you should be using for wordpress?
1. Akismet – Best spam blocker available, an absolute must to keep your blog free from junk comments.This/tag helps explain it more.
2. WP Super Cache – Display cached versions of your page to speed up the site.
3. Sociable – Allow visitors to instantly post links from your blog to their social media accounts.
4. All in One SEO – Even if your not an seo ninja having these plugin will ensure proper meta and other formatting which is vital for good search engine rankings.
5. SEO Smart Links – Another SEO plugin that interlinks your post automatically ensuring your site gains power as one big blob.
Those are in my opinion the most essential wordpress plugins for bloggers.
