Top 10 Usefull Wordpress Plugins I Use

So, I’ve decided to write another Top 10 List. Those are always useful to many readers, and make a good results on the Digg, so don’t forget to Digg this post!

So, let’s check out Top the 10 Wordpress Plugins the dude from CashCook.Info is using:

Warning: include() [function.include]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /home/svarogg/public_html/wp-content/plugins/runPHP/runPHP.php(383) : eval()’d code on line 3

Warning: include(http://cashcook.info/adsenseskyscraper.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in /home/svarogg/public_html/wp-content/plugins/runPHP/runPHP.php(383) : eval()’d code on line 3

Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening ‘http://cashcook.info/adsenseskyscraper.php’ for inclusion (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/svarogg/public_html/wp-content/plugins/runPHP/runPHP.php(383) : eval()’d code on line 3

  1. Complete RSS - This one is a must to any blog, and I never understood why it’s not the default in Worpress. Seriously, how many times have you encountered an unreadable RSS feed, and decided that this feed is not worth reading? This plugin will turn your RSS feed into an alternative form of your blog. Yes, less people will see your Adsense, since Adsense is not viewable in RSS, but the number of people who read your blog every day will grow, and eventually - those people will enter your site from time to time, and they will click your ads in the end of it.
  2. Related Posts - A couple of months ago. In my post “How to Increase Your Blog Traffic Quality” I’ve explained that you can increase your revenue without increasing traffic, if you make your visitor read as much posts as possible. One way to do that, is to present him a few related posts after every post. That’s exactly what this plugin does.
    At the time of writing this post, the homepage for this plugin wasn’t working. Therefore, I’ve uploaded it to CashCook.Info, and you can download it from here.
  3. Brian’s Threaded Comments - This one is another plugin I believe should be introduced as the Wordpress default. This plugin makes the interaction between your readers and you, and among the readers themselves much, much easier. With this plugin, beside being able to reply to your posts, readers will be able to reply to other reader’s comments, creating a discussion, rather then a monolog with one sided replies. This also makes it easier for me to reply you if you ask me any questions.
  4. Subscribe to Comments - This plugin is also very useful to create discussion. A problem I’ve encountered many times are readers who ask something in comment their comment, and then never come back to see if anybody actually cared to answer his question. This plugin ads a box which the user can tick, and then he’ll receive e-mail if anybody replies to his comment.
    This will also remind your readers that your blog exists, and maybe it’s time to check whether you made any new posts.
  5. Better Comments Manager - This one is very useful if you have a huge reader base. On big blogs you’ll see new comments added on very old posts quite often, and it’s humanly impossible to go over all your posts, and reply to all new comments.
    This plugin ads a new tab in your Wordpress admin panel, which lists all comments in chronological order, and will let you easily reply those comments through your admin panel without going to the post.
  6. RunPHP - Yet another plugin that should have been a default, but for some reason escaped the Wordpress creator’s mind. The name is self-explanatory, the plugin enables PHP code inside your posts. The installation of the plugin might be quite annoying, and you’ll have to tick a box each time you want to run PHP code in a post, but I haven’t found a better alternative yet, and my Adsense ads rely on this plugins, as explained in this post, so this plugin is a must.
  7. WP Tiger Administration - Now this one is a life saver. I’ve discovered this plugin after installing yet another plugin, increasing, yet again, the number of tabs in the “Options” panel. The thing has became so crowded that I spent hours searching for the options of a certain plugin. Beside, who will not agree with me if I say, that the default Wordpress control panel looks terribly ugly?
    So what this plugin does is turn your Wordpress control panel from an ugly crone into a real beauty. If your eyes are important for you, check this one out!
    The only concern I had is that this plugin will mess up with the stuff my other plugins that affect my control panel. But since “WP Tiger Administration” doesn’t change anything beside the CSS sheet, everything works perfectly. It even worked with a Hebrew Wordpress blog I helped a friend of mine set up, and as you might know, since Hebrew is written from right to left, it creates lots of problems with any software.
  8. Google Sitemaps - This one is a must for anybody who wants to achieve high Search Engine saturation. It create an XML sitemap of your blog, that you can submit to Google Sitemaps. Believe it or not, but I can get whole blogs indexed within a week with this plugin only.
  9. Sociable - This one adds links to any Social Bookmarking network on earth at the bottom of each posts. Some prefer other plugins that has links to only the biggest Social Bookmarking networks, and those are better for those blogs which have the chance to get to the front page. But for such blogs as CashCook.Info, that don’t stand a chance to get 50+ digs for a single post, it’s better to make it easy to find a spot on as many Social Bookmarking networks as possible, instead of striving for a front page spot on a specific Social bookmarking network.
  10. Warning: include() [function.include]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /home/svarogg/public_html/wp-content/plugins/runPHP/runPHP.php(383) : eval()’d code on line 7

    Warning: include(http://cashcook.info/adsenseskyscraper.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in /home/svarogg/public_html/wp-content/plugins/runPHP/runPHP.php(383) : eval()’d code on line 7

    Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening ‘http://cashcook.info/adsenseskyscraper.php’ for inclusion (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/svarogg/public_html/wp-content/plugins/runPHP/runPHP.php(383) : eval()’d code on line 7

  11. And last but not least: Buy Me A Beer - About this plugin I’ve been receiving e-mails from the day I activated it. As I have found, people don’t like donating their money, but they would buy you a beer, if you ask for one. So this plugin inserts a plead for beer at the end of every post you write, plus ads a big picture of a mug in the sidebar.
    For those who have more family-friendly blogs, you can turn the beer into coffee.

I’ve been talking allot today, time to rest, but my throat is soar, maybe a beer will make me less thirsty? Oh bummer, I have hardly any cash left! :(
Maybe somebody would like to buy me a beer? Of course you would! And you can even do it easily through the link on the bottom of this post. ;)

If you enjoyed this post, buy me a beer.

Nice blog you have here. But the link to complete rss plugin doesn’t work, it leads to page 404. Please correct it! Regards. Paul.

Thanks for the tip.
I’ve got no idea how this happened, but the problem has been fixed.
