Your Favorite Plugin for Wordpress



If I could only have one I'd pick Akismet, simply because I can't stand spam. StatCounter is pretty awesome, too. Oh, and Advertisement Management-- makes it easy to sort out your ads.
 
@aaronklaww i've never heard of the textbroker plugin...it looks cool and very useful. Another one of my favorite plugins is cb goliath which places information from clickbank product pages right into a post... it is by far one of the best clickbank plugins that i've used.
 
I dunno what the best is but my least favorite is Ozh Dropdown Menu. I wish I had never used it because I just can't start a site without installing it. I put it on a friends site once and it screwed it up too. I'm just too used to using WP with the layout it gives to change now.
 
Too many to count. Also include wp-robot. The selection below is my latest favourite set

really? google hammer is ok i guess, personally I like

SEO EZ DickRoll Auto-Link
 
but seriously I love and use often:

WP Link Engine (both for auto internal linking, cloaking and, well any link stuff, very powerful and versatile)

RSS Optimizer and SEO Power - free and def. give a nive auto boost

YARPP

backupbuddy (on every one of my blogs)

Coupon Reveal (though wish they would update for better visual options

and though this isn't a request for best theme - as they have so much functionality built in - everything from 'optimize press'
 
ozh admin drop down menu - I can`t use Wordpress without this anymore.

privacy policy - Saves me time of writing up some bullshit privacy policy I don`t give a fuck about

wordpress related posts plugin - good for internal linking, keeping people on your site longer

wp-insert - Let`s you insert any kind of code you want into your posts and pages, and choose its position

wp-super cache - Keeps the fags at Hostgator off my back

writeagain - Good for making crap blogs out of PLR and linking them back to your money site.

Akismet - Nukes spam

Delete pending comments - helps you get rid of exisiting spam comments quickly if you didn`t have Akismet activated.

Really simple Facebook and Twitter share buttons - Good because I can`t be fucked tweaking code to add some buttons.
