The Top Six Most Useful WordPress Plugins
Plugins are so many out there that bloggers (especially newbies) just get mixed up in the plugin industry and end up intstalling very many “irrelevant” plugins. A list of this nature is very vital for blog management.

If you run a blog from your own website, most likely you’re using WordPress. While WordPress is great by itself, the majority of WordPress’ usefulness comes from its plugins. Some of the best and most creative features come from plugins, and because plugins are so easy to create and install, there are literally hundreds of WordPress plugins.
The Top Six Most Useful WordPress Plugins:
6. Permalink Redirect
Permalink Redirect will issue a 301, permanently moved, redirection to anyone accessing your page via the non-permalink URL. This insures that it won’t happen again, and that your web stats will remain clean.
5. WordPress Database Backup / WP-Cron
With WP-Cron installed you can schedule backups of your database to be made every 24 hours; perfect if you have a Gmail account just hungry for something to store.
4. Popularity Contest
Popularity Contest is perfect for new visitors, helping them get up to speed by viewing what’s popular on your site.
3. Related Posts
This greatly increases the chance that a visitor will stick around browsing your blog, and is perfect for existing visitors to find out your past thoughts on a particular subject.
2. Ultimate Tag Warrior
There are a lot of great reason to tag. It helps narrow down what the post is about, it provides an easy form of navigating your site, and it allows Technorati to do a better job indexing your posts.
1. Akismet
Every comment you get is sent through Akismet’s spam-detecting servers for community-based spam analysis. The result? Ridiculously low false-positives, and an almost nonexistent false-negatives.
