10 Best WordPress Plugins for Blog Traffic

Most blog’s I was founder of (example: Livecrunch) made over 500.000 page views per month to do that not only you need social networks but wordpress plugins that will make your blog stand out from the crowd. Some plug-ins I will mention below might be already used by you so don’t worry I have more than you think! Comment on what is your favorite WordPress Plugin

Instead of me linking to individual plugins I rather have you go to Plugins>Add New> Search for name below mentioned plugins.

All In One Seo – That plugin is a must just because it makes your url pretty and does SEO job for you in many ways.

Akismet – Not to bad to have it activated unless you want spam. I recommend also adding Disqus plugin with captcha if your blog is seriously attack by spammers.

Disqus – One of the best plugins to add more social feel to your blog, lets your visitors login with facebook, OpenID, Twitter and more and share at the same time with session they are already logged in to social network.

Zemanta – Zemanta is great for bloggers that do not want to search for similar posts by others and images, tags etc… Brings lots of backlinks as well I covered more about Zemanta here

WP Super Cache – Sweet plugin to minimize the load on the server especially if you have lots of visitors but don’t post much. I set it up to cache every few hours on this blog.

WordPress Firewall – Want to keep your blog safe? This is another plugin that plays part of WordPress security.

Easy Contact – Need someone to contact you? Well this easy contact list is for you another one I would recommend is Cform really cool one too. Demo Here

TweetMeme – If you want people to retweet your blog post this plugin makes that possible for you. It allows visitors to click on “retweet” button and sends ping to TweetMeme

WordPress Related Posts – This wordpress plugin helps you to gain more page views because it displays related posts below the posts. So for visitor , when they are done reading your post they have something similar to read. Demo is displayed below this text.

Google XML Sitemaps – great to build xml sitemap for google. Love the fact that pings Google and other search engine services.

Adding these wordpress plugins nobody can deny that they did not help, unless you do not write as much as I do?
