My Top 7 WordPress Plugins

WordPress is just so popular not because it’s free (sure, that’s one reason) but because it is so robust and has so much functionality. WordPress plugins allow you to do just about anything with your blog! Below is a list of my 7 top WordPress plugins, what they do, and why you need them. While there are some plugins you need to pay for, all of these plugins are totally free.

1. Advertising Manager Advertising Manager allows you to easily monetize your blog by placing contextual ads from different advertising networks. Some of these networks include Google AdSense, Yahoo!PN, adBrite and Commission Junction.

2. Akismet Spam comments are a BIG problem. The reason for this is because there are clever people that misuse their programming skills to come up with ways to spider the Internet for blogs and leave comments on them automatically. One of my blogs gets over 50 spam comments every single day! Having to wade through these spam comments in search for the good ones would be a huge waste of time. Fortunately, Akismet will automatically trash the spam comments for you.

3. All in One SEO Pack If you could only have one plugin, this would be it. All in One SEO Pack helps you to make your blog SEO-friendly. Why would you want to do that? The more the search engines (e.g. Google) like your blog, the better you’ll rank and the more free, targeted traffic you’ll get.

4. DoFollow There are two types of links; dofollow and nofollow. Google will not credit nofollow backlinks when ranking a website. WordPress comments links are, by default, set up as nofollow links. The DoFollow plugin changes the comments links attribute to dofollow thus encouraging more visitors to leave comments on your blog.

5. Facebook Like The more you can integrate your blog with Facebook, the better. This plugin puts a Facebook ‘like’ button on every post and when visitors ‘like’ your posts, their Facebook friends will see it and you’ll get more, free traffic! Facebook traffic can be very viral. This is a powerful plugin that you definitely want to have on your blog.

6. Google XML Sitemaps This plugin auto-generates a sitemap for your blog and keeps it up to date. Google loves sitemaps.

7. Pretty Link Lite If you need to shorten a long link (to make it look prettier) or if you have an affiliate link you want to hide, this is the plugin for you.

Methods to get tons of backlinks

Getting backlinks has become much easier these days with the advent of social networking and social bookmarking sites. Social networking sites will be giving you a profile page and in that page you may add details about yourself like your name, hobbies, interests, and also your website. And this is something that makes webmasters attracted towards these sites – yup, I’m talking about the “website url” thing. This is an easy way to get free backlinks. Social networking sites are generally of high authority and getting a link (even if it’s from an inner page), is still of great importance.

On the other hand, a social bookmarking site will allow you to create a profile page and also to bookmark your favorite sites.This way, creating a single account, you can get backlinks to unlimited sites of yours. Not just that, if you stay active at these sites, then you’ll be getting free traffic as well. Members who are active will get a lot of hits to their profile. And this will prompt others to visit their bookmarks. This way, it will be providing you double benefit.

There are thousands of social bookmarking and social networking sites at the moment. If you go on creating accounts in all these sites, then you’ll never reach the finish line for sure. That’s because new ones are born every day. It’ll only waste your time. So, just concentrate on sites that is with good pagerank and traffic. A link from a high authority site is worth more than – even tens or hundreds of links from a low authority site. So, create accounts in high authority, high traffic sites, this way, your sites will be benefiting in two ways :- they’ll be getting a quality backlink and also free targeted traffic.
