List of 15 BEST WORDPRESS PLUGINS FOR BLOGS:

The following are the best WordPress plugins and are posted in the order that I recommend them.

  • W3 Total Cache – This WordPress plugin is great for two reasons.  First, it makes your pages load way faster.  Second, since it stores static versions of your site, it requires much less CPU processing than using WordPress all by itself. This WordPress plugin is number one on the list for a reason.

– Move over All in One SEO Plugin. There’s a new guy in town. HeadSpace provides you with the features you need to drive your site to the top.  People spend way to much time working on SEO and too little time writing great content.  This plugin lets you put your focus back where it belongs.  It takes care of all the SEO work that your blog will need.

    • Gravity Forms – This is without question the best WordPress plugin for forms. There is no competition. This form creates posts, allows image and media uploads, allows conditional logic, and so much more. It is the all-in-one form plugin for WordPress.
    • MaxBlog Press Affiliate Ninja – This WordPress plugin is amazing as it massively cuts down on the amount of time it takes to promote affiliate products throughout your site. It converts keywords that you identify, tracks clicks, and much more. You won’t have to keep chasing down your affiliate links when they’re all stored in your WordPress dashboard and doing the work for you.
    • WP-DBManager – This little gem is amazing for backing up your website. It has quite a few functions that it can perform but perhaps it’s most impressive feature is it’s the ability to email the entire WordPress database to me every day.
    • Thank Me Later – This plugin is great.  It sends an email to all first-time visitors.  You can write-up the email to remind them about your RSS feed or just to invite them to connect with you.  I do both.
    • WP-PageNavi – Those ‘Older Posts’ and ‘Newer Posts’ links are boring.  With WP-PaveNavi you can get page buttons so users can go directly to whichever page they want.  Plus they look a lot better than plain little links.
