WordPress -- What's Your Favorite WordPress Plugin?
 

Just started playing around with WordPress and was interested in hearing from you guys, on what your favorite plugins are? Thanks :)

dont really have a favourite as I use so many.

I like mobilepress and all in one SEO because I am lazy!

I miss the days of GFY being a place where you could ask questions and actually get useful answers.

Hello Dolly kicks ass.

I miss the days when someone on GFY actually new how to google things instead of asking dumb questions to get more banner exposure.

yeah man, i've made under 300 post in over 2 years...i'm really trying to get exposure by asking this question.

Once upon a time, only people who had been somewhere for several years would start a sentence with "I miss the days when...".

To answer the question, Platinum SEO.

Porn is a shit industry to be in more than a few years at a time. I come back then I go. This last iteration is totally forced by circumstances.

wpseo is better

uugallery is great.

What more does it do than Platinum? Didn't know there was anything worthy besides All-In-One and Platinum...haven't made a new WP site in a while.

All-In-One

Platinum SEO, All-In-One, WPSEO do nothing what can't be done by means of simple tuning of your WP theme. So you can easily do by yourself everything that those plugins do and even more.

Why you have to alter the WP theme if you can simple install one of All-In-One clones and set its options as you need? The answer is more than obvious: all these plugins work in runtime mode. This means that they change your blog's content on the fly every time when someone opens it in browser.

These "on the fly" changes generate multiple queries to WP database. You don't have to be a professor of higher mathematics to understand that these plugins will additionaly load your server's hardware and make your blog load slower. As far as you may know, lower loading speed => lesser Google rating.

Hope my post can be estimated the one of "those days of GFY being a place where you could ask questions and actually get useful answers".

Have a nice day everyone!

So would a cache plug-in be beneficial for this then?

Of course it will help, but it also has some restrictions and nuances. For example what if your splog or WP tube has 50K posts and some SE spider would like to crawl it? First of all, all caching plugins are also use additional hardware resources to cache your pages for a first time. Also they do re-cache your blog's content after some time interval etc.

All One in SEO is my favorite one

All in one seo
I also enjoy Intense Debate plugin (gives you more advanced comments on posts)

All In One SEO, Google Sitemap
