27. Contact Form 7
Adding a contact form to your website is simple and effective. Rather than publicizing your email address and inviting spammers to clutter your inbox, use a contact form. This plug-in uses two spam filters, Akismet and CAPTCHA, to make sure you only receive legitimate inquiries from your contact form.
28. TweetThis
TweetThis is a great Wordpress plugin to help you increase the likelihood for visitors to your blog to share your posts through Twitter thereby increasing potential blog traffic. When you install the plugin, an invitation link is included at the end of your blog posts suggesting that readers “TweetThis” and share a link to the post they’re reading through their Twitter feed.
29. WP-Email
The WP-Email plugin is a must-have. When you install this plugin, a message and link is included at the end of every post enabling visitors to send posts they like to friends via email with a single mouse click. Allowing readers to introduce other people to your blog through emailed posts is a great way to pick up some new visitors!
30. Permalinks Migration Plugin
With this plugin, you can safely change your permalink structure without breaking the old links to your website,and even doesn’t affect your search engine rankings.
31. Maintenance Mode
The Maintenance Mode Wordpress plugin adds a splash page to your blog telling visitors that your blog is temporarily unavailable for maintenance. The blog owner or administrator can see the full blog, but visitors only see the splash page making it possible for you to make revisions to your blog but not fully publish them until you’re completely ready.
32. Broken Link Checker
As your blog gets more and more posts, it can be difficult to go back and look for what has broken with time. This plugin will check images and links and notify you via the dashboard when it locates something.
33. Theme Tester
The Theme Tester Wordpress plugin allows you to test out different themes on your blog without anyone seeing the changes except you and your blog administrators.
34. Instant Upgrade
The Instant Upgrade plugin for Wordpress is useful to anyone using a version of Wordpress prior to 2.7 (Wordpress 2.7 includes an instant upgrade function accessible from the Wordpress dashboard). The Instant Upgrade plugin allows you to upgrade your blog to the newest version of Wordpress in a few simple steps.
35. Nice Search
- This plugin turns your /?s={query} into /search/{query} which is a) more search friendly and b) easier to type, I feel. I use it quite often on my own site and it’s just really easy to use. A simple, yet effective plugin.
36. SEO Slugs
- This plugin let’s you focus on writing, not making sure every aspect of your post is SEO friendly. In short, this plugin will strip words like “a”, “you”, “what” or “can” from the permalinks of your post, since those keywords are ignored by search engines.
