Must Have 9 Essential Word Press Plugins For Every Blog

Posted in Tips on 30th September 2011

For every new blog that is created by me, these 9 Word Press plugins are of utmost importance. There is no reason not to have them unless I find some better solutions. They are well worth installing yourself. So, here are my favorite plugins, in alphabetical order!

Broken Link Checker – The trick that this plugin performs is quite simple. It crawls through your posts and pages and detects links that are dead no longer working. Why? Well the aim is to prevent dead links in your posts, which can ruin your reputation and goodwill with your readers and get you penalized with the search engines.

FeedBurner FeedSmith – Every blog needs an RSS feed – it generates more traffic. But by signing up and registering to FeedBurner and using this plugin to direct all RSS feeds via Feed burner, you can then see just how many followers or users are using your RSS feed and which posts are proving to be the most popular.

Limit Login Attempts – This is a very simple and easy to use security plugin. If someone is trying to hack into your blog using brute force then this plugin detects their attacks and fails their attempts. It can send you an email with a warning and block them out for however long you want.

Revision Diet – If you are like me then this plugin is essential to you. I usually will write a new post and save it. Read it again and then save it. Read it again and so on. If I am not cautious enough then I can have dozens of versions of each post, which rapidly fill my database. This post just gets rid of all of those extra versions of the post that you don’t need.

WordPress.com Popular Posts – I don’t like just linking to recent posts on my side navigation, I prefer to link to the most popular posts. These are posts that people are reading more than other posts and therefore, are more likely to be interesting to other readers.

WordPress.com Stats – Is needed in order to run WordPress.com Popular Posts, but besides this it also collects loads of important traffic data and displays it in real time. Even if you use Google Analytics, it is a good idea to have a surrogate tracking tool for when the traffic stats look funny.

Word Press Database Backup – Every blog must need a back up and this does the job. What would happen if you accidentally deleted something or found that your blog had been hacked and had to rebuild it again from scratch. This tool emails you a backup at whatever frequency you want it to.

WP Captcha Free – Akismet is great, but it still leaves you having to recheck that the spam comments are spam and the real comments are for real. This plugin cuts out spam comments on my blogs by time stamping the form when it is first collected. Spammers keep submitting with the old timestamp and their comments are deleted. Genuine visitors get a new timestamp when they open the page and their comments get through.

Yet Another Related Posts Plugin – This is another great plugin for traffic generation and simple to install. If a reader has made it to the bottom of the post and probably taken it all in, then give them some similar posts to read next. This makes your site ‘stickier’.
