7 Essential Wordpress Plug-ins

The main thing that made me want to move my site over to Wordpress was all the different plug-ins you can install. I’ve got a number of them running now, and I wanted to give you all a little insight into the ones I’m using, how they work, and what they do.

  1. Adsense Manager -Adsense Manager allows you to easily edit and place the adsense in your blog. Absolutely clutch if you want to put advertising with your posts.
  2. Related Posts - This puts a related posts section at the end of each article. This is based on the tags and categories of your other posts. If you have trouble picking good tabs, then you’ll also want to get…
  3. HeadSpace2 - This is a pretty sweet one, as it helps to auto-generate tags based on what search engines like Yahoo are looking for. really helps make sure you maintain keyword relevancy.
  4. SEO all-in-one - This is one of, if not the most popular plug-in for Wordpress. Provides a lot of tools to help make sure your site is optimized.
  5. Google Sitemap Generator - Another SEO tool. makes it much easier for Google to crawl your site.
  6. AddThis Button - A button that takes the place of a bunch of different social bookmarking sites. Anyone can add your site to any one of the social bookmarking sites. I still like to give a shoutout to my personal favorite though, which is why I also use
  7. DiggBadger - Digg.com is one of the most popular websites around today, and I really enjoy reading it, so I decided that even though I have the AddThis button, I wanted a specific ‘Digg It’ button as well.

So if you have a wordpress blog, be sure to check these out. These will all help get your name out there, and help search engines find you, and help bring you more readers!

  2. Nice plugins, thanks i use half of them early.

  3. no matter how terrible people act, we don’t have a right to judge them. We are just to express our minds, and don’t have to pay attention what other people look like, what’s their real face. It doesn’t matter for me, if someone will say anything about me, I know what I really deserve, and what kind of person I really am.
