Wordpress Plugins( The Best Web Hosting Service )- Today I wanted to talk about my favorite WordPress plugins.  Lets face it plugins make our life easier, and there a number of them that I simply can not live without.  For instance any kind of blog that you are running there is one plugin that is essential to your WordPress blog.  It is a spam plugin.

People love to spam; it seems everyone out there is trying to promote something or gain exposure to their products.  Do you know what I mean?  Maybe you are tired of getting the fifty million “Buy Viagra” comments on your blog.  Maybe you used to do it to in hopes of getting some good traffic from it.  Chances are it didn’t work and you wasted a lot of you hard earned time.  I will be honest with you, when I first started learning affiliate marketing I spammed a lot.  Not really knowing what I was doing.  I just went to various blogs and wrote I agree or something like that.  Wow, did I learn that I wasted my time and A LOT of it.   It’s all right though we all make mistakes.  Here are the best WordPress blog plugins that I use.

SpamKarma 2

Spam Karma 2

This plugin is awesome, it catches spam comments automatically.  Really, I love it.  I actually have it installed on this blog.  It will show a little script in your footer and actually show how many comments have been caught in the spam filter.  It actually states that your blog is protected to…neat!  I do wish they would add a little shield or some kind of graphic, but thats just me.

SexyBookmarks

Sexy Bookmarks

Again, another one that is used on this site.  Funny because a lot of the ones I am going to talk about are on this site…lol.   This is a pretty cool plugin that makes it easier for people to share your blog post on social bookmarker sites.  However, you can list a million of them like I have seen some like sociable, but honestly I think that looks tacky as hell.  I try to just stick with the main ones.  Again, other people probably argue with me on that.

Digg Digg

Digg Digg

This is another one that is similar to SexyBookmarks, however it looks a bit different and actually has the little buttons that view how many people have clicked.  Kind of cool for you, because you can actually see what people are clicking on with your blog.  I have always been interested in stats because it allows me to track what my viewers are doing….but that is just me.

FD Feedburner Plugin

Feedburner Plugin

Well, what can I say about feeds that hasn’t already been said before.  Feedburner in my opinion is the cream of the crop.  This will basically redirect your feeds to Feedburner where you can than track all kinds of crazy stuff.  Also, what I really like about this is you can display how many subscribers you got.  Then again, probably not too important to some but for me I love it.

Subscribe To “Double-Opt-In Comments”

Opt-in Button

Yeah I know that is long name for a plug-in.  It is a fancy name for a little checkmark at the end of your comment box that allows people to subscribe to your comments by email.  I don’t know how many times I have checked that box on other blogs just so I could see how the conversation went.  In fact, I didn’t even really know the name of it until recently.  I just called it little checky box.

There are millions upon millions of plugins and I am sure I left out or that people commonly use.  Like All in one SEO, Better RSS, Google XML Sitemaps, Meta SEO Pack, Quick Adsense, TagALLY, TweetMeme Retweet Button, Twitme.

What other plugins do you find that you are constantly using on a daily basics?
