Well, since I’m now in it too, I might as well do it. But you won’t find a list of my favorite plugins here. I did much better! I compiled a true TOP 30 list of the most popular plugins in blogosphere The list is based on the Lists of favorite Wordpress plugins, made by Lorelle last month. Lorelle found 48 lists with a total of 280 plugins that were recommended by other bloggers to their readers. So I went through all those lists and compiled a spreadsheet of the mentioned plugins to see which of them were the most used in blogosphere. Here are the results: * The first place among Wordpress plugins goes to Akismet. 34 out of 48 bloggers are using this plugin. Obviously the spam is a very serious issue and Akismet is doing a great job combating it. * Google Sitemap Generator came in second with 27 votes. Looks like a lot of bloggers are starting to care about SEO and this plugin is the best tool to tell Google how it should crawl your blog and where to find everything you want found. * Related posts by Wasabi takes the third place. As the name suggests, this plugin generates a list of related posts based on the text of blog entry. It is a great tool to increase the stickiness of your blog by showing your readers similar posts that you’ve written on the subject. Although since I started using Chitika RPU’s on my tech blogs, I don’t use this plugin there. 19 out 48 bloggers have used this plugin on their blogs. * Wp-Contact form. This plugin developed by Ryan Duff is used by 17 of 48 bloggers. It creates a contact form on your blog, through which your readers can contact you. However at the moment of this writing, Ryans website seemed to be down. Another good plugin to generate contact forms is here. Update: You can download Spam protected Wp-contact form from Doug Carr blog here. * Wordpress database backup now maintained by Ilfilosofo and originally developed by Skippy is on 16 lists. It’s a “must use” plugin for every WP blogger and if you are not using it you might be in a lot of trouble eventually. Imagine that something goes wrong with you database and you loose all of your archives! The latest version of the plugin even lets you schedule automatic backups at a set frequency. * Feedburner Feed Replacement let’s you track your RSS subscribers and use a lot of other cool Feedburner services. * Ultimate Tag Warrior is a plugin does everything related with tagging. With this plugin you can tag your every post through a separate field, enter tags inside post text, use tags in external editors, etc. The tags then can be used to search your blog and are picked up by blog search engines like Technorati and can bring in new users. UTW was used by 14 of 48 bloggers. * Subscribe to comments plugin (13/48) allows your readers to check a box before commenting and get e-mail notification of further comments. This is a great plugin to grow your blog community by letting your readers stay up to date in the discussion that they already are interested in. * AdSense Deluxe (10/48) is a plugin that allows you to easily insert AdSense, YPN, Chitika ads inside your blog posts and provides for easy management when and where the ads appear. A must have if you want use ads inside a blog post. * Gravatars (9/48) Another community building plug-in. It let’s you place the small pictures (avatars) of your readers next to their comments on your blog. Makes the comment area and the discussion much more personal and lively. In order for the avatars to appear, reader has to register it with Gravatars service. * Jerome’s Keywords plugin. It’s another plugin for keywords/tags similar to Ultimate Tag Warrior. It has a little less options and functionality, but does tagging/keywords very well and is easier to use. JK plugin gets 11th place only conditionally, since 4 plugins were recommended by 8 bloggers. So the next 3 plugins (11-14 place) also have the same amount of votes and are ranked in alphabetical order. * Optimal title (8/48) is a SEO related See less »
