Must Have WordPress Plugins

Posted by Pofecker in Saturday, June 28th 2008

During the course of publishing money making methods, I feel it’s a good idea to mention a few applications and Wordpress stuff that are worth the download. These are a few of my favorites.

Counterize II - This plugin logs everthing that your cpanel’s awstats would record, but it’s in your WP admin panel. It does not however log IP’s. I think this is because in some countries it’s illegal to record that information.

Wassup - OMG must have for anyone using WP. Real-time LIVE stats in your admin panel. You can actually see live stats! You see the referer, IP, and what they are doing on your blog. You can also watch bots hit your site. You can record all of this and block wassup from recording your activity.

Platinum SEO Pack (NEW LINK - This is a new one that some of you probably don’t know about. I think it’s better than the ALL-In-One SEO pack

Features of Platinum SEO Plugin:

Optimized Post and Page Titles for search engines
Generates all SEO relevant META tags automatically
Helps you avoid duplicate content
Lets you override any title and set any META description and META keywords, for any post or page
Compatible with most other plugins, like Auto Meta, Ultimate Tag Warrior and others.However you may have to disable All in One SEO pack
You don’t have to fear changing permalinks. If you are not satisfied with the current permalink, change it through Settings–>Permalinks in your admin panel, without worrying about loss of Page rank or google penalty.Platinum SEO plugin will take care of issuing a 301 redirect to the new location.This is a new essential feature, not present in All in one SEO
Add index, noindex, follow or nofollow, noarchive, nosnippet, noodp, noydir meta tags to any post/page.These options are not available in All in one SEO Pack.Find out why this option to set post/page level Meta Robots Tag useful?

Not too shabby if you ask me. It’s worth checking out for sure!

There will be more stuff coming later today, stay tuned.

@ padrino

to install a wordpress plugin. Get a good FTP client. The best one IMO is filezilla which is available for free, just google it up. Once you have the ftp clinet and have finished installing wordpress on your domain, open filezilla and log in with your ftp details. Your host will give you the login details of your basic ftp account. Further dtp accounts can be setup in the cpanel.
Once you have finished logging in, just go to a folder named www (which is your root directory). Look for wp-content. In it you’ll find a folder named ‘plugins’. Open that folder and drag and drop the downloaded rar/zip file into that folder or extract (use winrar) it and then upload it. Your plugin has been uploaded, just go into your yourdomain.com/wp-admin and log into it. You’ll see plugins on the left, that’s where you activate the newly uploaded plugin. Cheers.

@pofecker..a small request..as and when you have time, could you perhaps give me a 10 or 15 minute 1 on 1. I know this is probably out of the question and some might call it unethical, but those 15 minutes could make a huge difference.

thanks
