The Most Popular WordPress Plugins of 2013 Thus Far

March 12, 2013 by

WordPress plugins extend the functionality of already existing features in WordPress and add a plethora of features that make running a website easier. When it comes to plugins, the choices are many.

In fact, it’s no understatement to say that there are a lot of WordPress plugins to choose from. At the time of writing, there are 23,569 plugins listed in the WordPress plugin directory.

The problem is choosing which plugins will suit you and your website best. There are some of plugins that are not even real choices. These plugins have had their development cease because they only work on outdated WordPress versions.

The fact that there are so many outdated plugins is why this list of the five best WordPress plugins for 2013 (so far) has been compiled. This list will help show which plugins can make your life easier:

1. Akismet

Akismet actually comes pre-installed with WordPress, but you need to activate it with a key to make it function. Akismet cuts down on the spammy comments and trackbacks that spammers have been using to gain links back to their own websites.

Think of it as a way to filter out your site’s spam. Akismet filter’s out comments that are low quality spam and do not contribute to interaction with your readers.

This plugin is essential to any webmaster that has any amount of traffic. Spammers can and will try to flood your WordPress website with comments and trackbacks.

2. All in One SEO Pack

The default WordPress installation comes with a center to configure your website’s title, its description and a few other things. However, it’s not enough to perform the basics of on-site SEO. (Search Engine Optimization) For that purpose, the All in One SEO pack was created.

It allows you to customize meta keywords, meta descriptions and page titles for anything that you can post content on with your WordPress installation. This includes pages, posts and even your home page.

This plugin is a must-have for anyone who plans to do any type of SEO, and it’s recommended for anyone that doesn’t mind more traffic from basic on-site SEO.

3. WP Super Cache

Imagine if there was a way to make your website load faster and decrease the load that your server has to handle, which in turn will allow you to have more visitors while using the same type of server hardware.

This is exactly what WP Super Cache does.

It generates a static HTML version of your WordPress installation’s dynamic PHP pages. These cached versions are then served up to your visitors in a fashion that is as fast as your web server could load a basic HTML page.

This plugin is necessary and should be installed on every WordPress installation. Most web hosts that have experience with WordPress recommend WP Super Cache.

4. Sociable

This plugin allows you to quickly, easily and safely integrate social sharing buttons on your WordPress website without having to mess with any of your template code.

Your visitors can then easily share your content using some of the most popular social networking websites. This allows your WordPress website to grow naturally and bring in people that are both interested in your website’s main topic and more likely to complete an action.

The future of attracting new visitors is heavily reliant on a good social presence, so this plugin is a must-have if you want to take advantage of the potential free traffic social media can provide.

5. Yet Another Related Posts (YARP) Plugin

Once your get visitors to your website, you want them to stay on it. The answer to getting them to stay on there is simple: give them more content that they would probably like to read.

YARP accomplishes this by giving your readers links to related content in a post or a page. This plugin allows for a great degree of customization and can improve how long your readers stick around.

While this plugin is purely optional, it’s recommended that your website have it if you have at least 30 different pages of content. The one thing to note is that the success you see will be heavily dependent on how great your content is.

There are many choices for plugins for WordPress. The above five are some of the ones that will undoubtedly help your website run smoothly.

Exploring Essential WordPress Plugins

March 12, 2013 by

WordPress is one of the world’s most popular Content Management Systems, making it easy for nearly anyone to create and run a website with ease. From bloggers to small business owners, WordPress is an effective solution for a myriad of different individuals to consider. When it comes to launching a website using WordPress, there are several plugins that can help to improve the user experience and overall efficiency of the site in question. Use the following essential plugins to boost any site’s potential further.

PodPress

For bloggers, multimedia sites, and technology resources hoping to make audio files available to the masses, PodPress is the undisputed leader. This free plugin makes it easy to encode audio files with information for various media players, and can also assist amateur webmasters in sharing their audio streams with syndicators such as iTunes. PodPress also allows webmasters to embed a fully-functional media player directly within their posts, making it easy for any website visitor to listen to an audio file or watch an embedded video from the server.

WordPress Database Backup

Just like conventional hard drives, web servers often crash for a multitude of different reasons. Without a full backup of a website, a webmaster could find themselves starting back at zero. Instead of risking the consequences of digital data loss, WordPress Database Backup is a simple plugin that can help keep the databases holding a site’s information secured. The plugin can be used to schedule regular backups, with files emailed to the webmaster for later use.

Jetpack

Jetpack has become the go-to plugin for many WordPress users, as this versatile tool gives users the ability to perform a multitude of different actions. Instead of installing separate plugins for each feature needed, Jetpack allows webmasters to create beautiful contact forms, in addition to a multitude of social sharing tools. These make it easy for website visitors to share content with friends and acquaintances using popular tools like Twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest.

Google Analytics

Google Analytics is a popular tool used by webmasters that rely on an assortment of different platforms and servers. The plugin provided for WordPress is by far the easiest way to place the tracking code on the various pages of a site, allowing traffic to be monitored with ease. In addition to traffic numbers and sources, the plugin can be used to monitor advertising campaigns run in conjunction with Google’s Adwords product.

Redirection

Redirection is a powerful plugin that can ensure that website visitors do not find themselves lost in the underworld of a site’s backend. It is common for posts and links to move from time to time, which can cause web visitors to become lost or directed to the wrong post. Redirection targets this issue seamlessly, allowing webmasters to focus on more important matters, such as content publication. Building a powerful website with WordPress is simple, which is one of the reasons the platform is so popular. These plugins can help to make WordPress an even more effective tool. Even better, many of them are available at no charge.
