I’m using 30 wordpress plugins all together for this blog. some I couldn’t live without and some I keep around just out of simplicity of use.
My favorite is ‘All in One SEO‘ which allows me to dial in keywords and descriptions for each post instead of using the blogs main index information.
This is a list of my favorites and their descriptions:
GoCodes – This plugin allows me to hide my affiliate links with a simple redirect. Example: www.site.com/go/affiliatelink
Feed Footer – This plugin allows me to add advertisements to the bottom of my rss feeds. It allows you to select different advertisements for up to 10 individual feeds.
Brian’s Threaded Comments – This plugin allows for threaded comments under my posts. This plugin is a must!
Lighter Menus – This plugin is for the admin area of wordpress. This makes navigating the admin area easier and it maked it look much better.
Admin Management Xtended – This plugin is also for the admin area of wordpress. It makes managing posts easier.
MaxBlogPress Ping Optimizer – This plugin prevents wordpress from over-pinging your updates which can lead to update bans. By default, wordpress will ping the feed sites whenever you post, edit or change anything. That is a serious flaw that can get you banned. This plugin is a must!
UBD Block Ads – This plugin allows you to easily display and rotate your 125×125 ads on any sidebar.
WassUp – This plugin allows you to view the traffic activity of your blog and shows what is real organic traffic and what is spam or bots. Very useful plugin.
WP-DBManager – This plugin allows you to manually backup or set scheduled backups of your wordpress database and also allows you to optimize your database to make it run faster. I really recommend this plugin.
These are other ones I use and recommend but don’t feel strongly enough about to write a description about:
Akismet, Google XML Sitemaps, MaxPressBlog Stripe Ad, Secure-Contact, Sociable, Subscribe to Comments, Ultimate Google Analytics, WP-Ban and WP YouTube.
All these plugins are great and should get your blog up and going nicely. They have made my life much easier.

Nice share. I’m downloading some of them… such as the threaded comments and wassup. Thanks for the review.
Andre Thomass last blog post: The Trap Of Perfection
UBD Block Ads – That link works but not sure where it is suppose to go
States page you are looking for does not exist
Like the nested comments one too
You make decisions so hard LOL

Sorry about that. Software designers are notorious for changing links on the fly. Makes it harder for the rest of us.
