Top 15 Wordpress Plug-ins @ StrictlyOnlineBiz

There’s nothing like having amazing plug-ins that help make blogging an exhilarating experience for bloggers.

Without the right tools, your days as a blogger could be numbered by certain factors. Below I’ve compiled my top 15 Wordpress plug-ins without which I’d be lost. Feel free to implement them on your own blog, if you haven’t done so

1. Akismet: Keeps spam comments under control though it could sometime get over-zealous and grab legit comments too. LOL.
2. All In One SEO Pack: The simplest plug-in to help you with metatags on your wordpress blog. If you want your posts to be seen in search engine results, you’re highly advised to get this.
3. Comment Luv: What more can I say about it? Read my post Increase Your Backlinks with Comment Luv.
4. Contact Form 7: This plug-in manages my contact page beautifully well and gets my readers emails delivered successfully to my inbox all the time.
5. Really Simple CAPTCHA: Helps keep spammers from using your contact form. Works hand in hand with Contact Form 7.
6. Google XML Sitemaps: If you’re looking at getting indexed by the search engines frequently, your blog needs an automated sitemap creator. Just as you ping web services with Pingomatic each time you leave a new post on your blog, Google XML Sitemaps automatically rebuilds your sitemap after each new post and sutomatically pings the search engines like Google, Ask, Yahoo and MSN.
7. Keyword Luv: Reward your commentators by separating their name from their keywords, in the link to their website, giving them improved anchor text. Keyword Luv Rocks.
8. NoFollow Free: Most people are looking for something in return for posting comments and you can do just that by stripping the NoFollow attribute from your comments with this plug-in. Your blog can be made comments and backlink friendly with this plug-in.
9. Psychic Search: Logs all searches made on your blog thereby letting you know what your readers might be interested in reading about. It does a good job of logging searches within your blog and searches from search engines.
10. Share This: Let your visitors share a post/page with others. Supports e-mail and posting to social bookmarking sites. A true classic.
11. Ultimate Plugins Smart Update Pinger: Saves you the pain of being labeled a spammer by pinging services. Replaces the built-in ping/notify functionality. Pings only when publishing new or future posts, not when editing.
12. Wass Up:Helps to analyze your visitors traffic with real time stats, chart and a lot of chronological information. It has sidebar Widget support to show current online visitors and other statistics.
13. WordPress Database Backup: Forget about the other 14 plug-in, if you haven’t got this plug-in then you’ve got nothing at all. This plug-in provides on-demand backup of your WordPress database should in case something should go wrong with your blog. I personally created a Gmail account for it and had it configured to backup my database EVERYDAY and email the backup to my specially created Gmail account.
14. WP Google Analytics: For those of you who don’t have Advanced Web Statistics (Awstats) installed on your server, you could make use of this plug-in to add the Google Analytics code to your blogs and monitor your traffic.
