How to Install WordPress Plugins
When it comes to WordPress plugins, there are hundreds… if not thousands to choose from. Trying to decide what’s best for you and your site can be a bit tricky.
Before we get into a lot of the “”supplementary”” plugins there are a few “”core”” plugins that EVERY WordPress site should have. These plugins are critical to ensure the success of your site AND leveraging the power of WordPress with internet marketing.
I will briefly discuss each plugin and why they are so critical:
#1 –
All in One SEO Pack – WordPress itself isn’t very SEO (Search Engine Optimization) friendly. There are a LOT of improvements that could be made to each and every page and post that is created. All in One SEO Pack does a fantastic job of allowing you to update the title tags, meta description, and meta keyword to ensure your page/post is SEO friendly.
#2 –
Google Analytics for WordPress – It doesn’t matter how good you THINK your site is … without Google analytics you will never actually KNOW how visitors interact with your site AND how you can make it better. If you seriously want a site to succeed online and you do not have Google Analytics, or some kind of statistic tracking code installed on your site, you will NOT succeed. Simple as that.
#3 –
Google XML Sitemaps – This is a very powerful plugin for Search Engine Optimization. It ensures all your pages, even recent ones, can get indexed quickly and efficiently. Google themselves have stated that have a “”sitemap”” WILL help for indexing purposes.
#4 –
Add to Any: Share/Bookmark/eMail – This one may not be quite a critical as the above plugins but lends itself nicely to viral marketing. Giving your visitors the ability to “”share”” your website/page with others can tremendously help your SEO and traffic initiatives. This plugin will vary in importance depending on your site however I strongly recommend have this installed … just in case …
This is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of plugins. There are other plugins that could arguably make this list however I wanted to keep it fairly short and sweet and focus on two of the most important elements of a site TRAFFIC and TESTING.

Is WordPress the Best Choice For a Content Management System

Is WordPress the Best Choice For a Content Management System?
Many of us will have a need for a Content Management System (CMS) at some stage in our Internet marketing careers. There are plenty for us to choose from on the market such as Drupal, Joomla and many others, but a lot of these require specific technical knowledge to use and are not intuitive.
Setting up a content management system can be a difficult thing to do without either hiring a techie or struggling to learn some unfamiliar software that takes hours to learn.
This of course, may not be ideal.
So what are your other options?
Most Internet marketers are familiar with a program called WordPress. It’s a favorite with marketers at the moment because it is easy to use, requires no technical knowledge and is quick to configure. Many of us are already using it somewhere within our Internet empire.
But is WordPress any good as a content management system?
It is incredibly powerful and very good as a CMS program. The only issue with WordPress is the lack of structure navigation. Setting up good and clear navigation is an issue with versions before V3, but the latest release (version 3) has a much better navigation system built in out of the box.
With a version such as 2.9.2 (the last before version 3) you can still use it as an effective CMS solution nusing some of the plugins that have been released.
The Yet Another Related Posts Plugin (or YARPP as it is better known) is a great plugin for allowing you to create relevant navigation menus for each post. By giving related posts the same tags, you can very easily create menus of related posts on your site. It’s not the best solution, but it works and is very effective and easy to use.
Another useful plugin to help with your navigation is the Exclude Pages From Navigation plugin. This will give you the choice to hide pages from the navigation menus, which is very useful. It means you can create pages and not have them appear by default in navigation menus.
Let’s not forget that you can create custom page templates within WordPress and set up custom navigation menus within these templates for related pages. This is another powerful method of creating custom navigation menus but requires a little bit more work than using one of the plugins.
WordPress is a very powerful piece of software and unless you are after specific CMS related functions only provides by software like Drupal or Joomla, WordPress is more than adequate for most of your needs to manage content.
Anything that is lacking in its CMS functionality is more than made up by it’s ease of use and simplicity of installation. If you are after a simple to use CMS system then WordPress may be ideal for your needs.
