My guide to useful WordPress plugins

[X37375787]

In a few years of working with WordPress, I have come across a few plugins that are very worthwhile and should not miss in any WP install. They enhance SEO, administration and the experience of surfers on your site.

- Brian's Threaded Comments
Very useful plugin that provides nested comments, direct replies and looks sweet, too.

- Google XML Sitemap
Aids SEs in indexing your posts, category pages, and much more. Auto-pings Google and Y! as well.

- Google Ad Wrap
For those with mainstream blogs using Adsense, this automatically wraps the google_ad_section tags around content and comments.

- HeadSpace
This plugin is gold. Very customizable and a must-have for serious SEO on blogs.

- Related Posts
Display related posts on your single post pages. Increases in-site clickthroughs and also benefits your SEO work. (I recommend editing the link title tag in the code - remove the 'Permanent Link:' bit)

- Share This
Enables your readers to share your posts with popular social bookmarking sites and other social networks.

- Spam Karma
Fuck Spam.

- Clean Archives
Creates a clean, SEO-friendly sitemap/archive page.

Enjoy and good luck!

Also:

- Smart Update Pinger
Avoids auto-pinging of ping services when you simply edit and resave a post.

- Meta Post URL
Great for appending links on the fly. Useful for affiliate links in particular. May require some coding customizations.

[Yellow Pages]

Spider bots? I have a couple smalled vB scripts and they get spidered pretty heavily, but come to think of it, they don't make the threadviews go up ..

Nah, someone is hitting this thread artificially or it's otherwise linked up somewhere.

Awesome recommendations. I'm implementing HeadSpace now.

I wish there was a plugin that made upgrading and patching multiple WP installs happen at the click of a button. Some sort of way to synch multiple installs across multiple servers.

Nice list though, I use a couple of them, will have to look at the others.
