List of Must Installed Wordpress Plugins for the Good Seo and Better Website Rankings Posted by Stranger on 2:34 AM Digg it Bookmark it Stumble it Email to friend

In this article, i will tell you about the Wordpress Plugins that are most useful and more important for any Wordpress Admin, So i suggest users to check the list of of Must Installed Wordpress Plugins.

I am planning to launch my wordpress blog very soon and now a days i do research about new and useful Wordpress plugins.
So the below list is personally used by me and i recommend these plugins on all of your wordpress sites.


As Wordpress keeps getting better and adds new features with new releases, i would like to keep updating this post frequently. If you have any recommendations on top of the plugins mentioned below, do shout out in comments. I will be happy to include them in the list, if i believe that they do suit the “must-have” criteria.

1.) Akismet

Akismet checks your comments against the Akismet web service to see if they look like spam or not and lets you review the spam it catches under your blog’s “Comments” admin screen.
If you do not have Akismet installed on your blog, you would be flooded with several spam comments on a daily basis.
In order to use Akismet, you will be required to enter a Wordpress.com API key. Getting a Wordpress.com API key is fairly simple. Simply, navigate toWordpress.com and create yourself a Wordpressaccount to get your API key.
Click here to install Akismet on your Wordpress blog.

2.) Google XML Sitemaps

Google XML Sitemaps generates a special XML sitemap which will help search engines like Google, Yahoo, Bing and Ask.com to better index your blog. Having a sitemap for your website is one step forward to being Search Engine friendly.
Every time you create a new article or update an existing article, the plugin will generate a new entry in the sitemap.xml file and update the last modified time. Search engines like Google can then query the sitemap to find out the entries modified since they last crawled your website.
Click here to install Google XML Sitemaps on your Wordpress installation. Once you have downloaded the zip archive, extract all files into your wp-content/plugins/ directory. Then go into yourWordPress administration page, click on Plugins and activate it. After that you will have a new menu point called “Sitemap” under the “Options” menu. You can alter the default change frequencies, filename and other options there. Click once on “Rebuild Sitemap” to create your sitemap the first time.

3.) Platinum SEO Pack

Platinum SEO Pack takes care of all your SEO needs. With this specific plugin, you can easily override any title and also set any META tags and description. Platinum SEO Pack is easy to install for beginners.
Click here to download and install Platinum SEO Pack for your Wordpress installation.

4.) Yet Another Related Posts Plugin (YARPP)

YARPP is an excellent plugin for introducing your readers to other relevant content from your blog. Simply download the archive, unpack it and upload it into the wp-content/plugins/ directory. Next, from the admin console, activate the plugin and configure it. You can chose to show the number of related posts.
Click here to download and install YARPP for yourWordpress installation.

5.) Feedburner FeedSmith

This plugin detects all ways to access your originalWordPress feeds and redirects them to your FeedBurner feed so you can track every possible subscriber. Once you have installed this plugin all the feeds to your main content (and optionally for your comments) will be forwarded to your Feedburner feed for delivery.{ i.e. feeds athttp://mywebsite.com/feed orhttp://mywebsite.com/wp-rss2.php, wheremywebsite.com is the name of your wordpresswebsite or blog. }
With regards to configuring the plugin, all you need to have handy is your feedburner feed address.
Click here to download and install Feedburner FeedSmith for your Wordpress installation.

6.) WP Super Cache

Wordpress stores the text that you type in as articles into the database and everytime a user asks for a particular article, it builds the page by fetching the text out of the database, images from the specific folders. This is a pretty expensive process as everytime a database query is required and in times when the load is heavy, this can cause your servers to go down on their knees and beg for their lives.
WP Super Cache is a pretty neat caching plugin which generates static html files for a Wordpress based blog / website. Once it generates an HTML file, it serves the HTML file as the response instead of making expensive database queries, thus keeping your server relatively free. As an admin, you can configure the TTL (Time to Live) i.e. time for which the pages should be cached. My recommendation would be to keep the value of TTL as high as 10 days if you do not modify your articles frequently. If you do modify your articles frequently, you can keep a lower value. You can even configure the plugin to “not deliver” pages out of cache for “logged in users”.
Click here to download and install WP Super Cache for your Wordpress installation.

The above 6 Plugins are in good and i am using them for each and every new site of my clients.
I know there are so many useful plugins and the list will never ends.
So i suggest you to provide me the list of othter useful Wordpress Plugins and you can share the names to our readers..

Increase subscribers to blog or website Posted by Stranger on 7:29 AM Digg it Bookmark it Stumble it Email to friend

Sites such as Blogger and Wordpress are making it increasingly easy for anyone and everyone to start a blog. There are blogs on every topic imaginable, from food to pets to finances to shopping, all of which are easily lost in a sea of similar sites. Do you have a blog that you’d like to make standout in the endless onslaught of sites available online? The list below details twelve simple steps you can take to build readership and increase the number of subscribers to your blog.

1. Content - The most important thing you can do is to offer relevant, authoritative content on your blog. Write about something you know and are passionate about to avoid sounding stilted or naive. If your blog features information people want or need, they will visit it.
2. Update Often – Even if you’re providing useful, pertinent information, no one’s going to return to your blog if you only post once a month. In the meantime a newer, more current blog is likely to steal their attention, so be sure and post as often as possible to keep your site fresh.
3. Guest Blog – Do you know other people with blogs? Have you ever considered using guest blogger services? The more content out there on the web that links or refers to your own blog, the better, so look into becoming a regular guest blogger on someone else’s site. Any exposure you can get is helpful for your numbers.
4. Comment – If you have your own blog, odds are you read other blogs, so leave comments whenever appropriate. This helps you build rapport with other bloggers, but also provides you an opportunity to post a link to your blog, where appropriate. Be sure only to make useful, well thought out comments in order to seem like you’re attempting to SPAM a site.
5. Forum Posts – Much like commenting on other blogs, posting in forums dedicated to subjects that relate to the topic of your blog can help drive subscribers to your blog. Always be polite and knowledgeable when you post to avoid garnering a negative online image.
6. Contact Other Blogs – Are there a number of blogs you read religiously? Consider writing a post on your own blog about the value these sites provide to you, then contact the other blogger and send them a link to your post. Ask if they would mind returning the favor, as a link on their site could drive traffic to your own.
7. Have a Subscriber Page – Build a page or at least a widget into your blog that is dedicated specially to subscribers. A special page can feature information you’d like your followers to know, while a widget featuring pictures and profiles of your subscribers can encourage more to join.
8. Offer an RSS Feed – An RSS feed is an option you should offer all your visitors. This feed updates as you update your content, and users will find it an easy way to not only cross-promote your blog but to access the information they’re looking for as well.
9. Link Yourself – It seems simple, but make sure to include your blog URL anywhere you can: at the bottom of your email signature, on business cards, and even on your Facebook or MySpace accounts.
10. Network – Be sure and tell everyone you meet about your blog. In meetings, casual conversation, or even at retail stores, if you find an opportunity to promote yourself, do it.
11. Make it Easy – Don’t hide your subscriber page or RSS feed option at the bottom of the page. Make it a prominent part of your site to encourage easy-click sign up.
12. Offer Benefits – Let your subscribers in on special deals, new information, or hot topics that regular visitors can’t access. This builds loyalty and buzz around your blog – which is the ultimate goal!

Adsense Help Posted by Stranger on 8:23 AM Digg it Bookmark it Stumble it Email to friend

The follownig article will help you to resolve queries like
1. How long should i have to wait before applying for Adsense?
2. How to make money from Google Adsence?
3. Can my Blogger Blog will be approved for Adsence?
4. What to do if you were banned from Adsence.
5. What type of Contents should i write on my blogs/Websites?
6. What is the minimum age to apply for Google Adsence?
7. How to get Google Adsence approved?

1. How to make money from Google Adsence?
You get money from adsense only if you have a decent traffic. There's no point inapplying for it immediately after you setup your website as you are most likely to end up with your account being rejected if you apply immediately after setting up your website without any content.

Google's AdSense Program Policies and the Terms and Conditions are probably two of the most informative articles that you must read before applying for adsense.

2. How long should i have to wait before applying for Adsense?

There's nothing like you must wait for 30 days or 90 says before you can apply for adsense, the only thing is you should have decent content on your blog/website and have some decent traffic. Once approved into adsesne you can use the same publisher ID to display ads on multiple websites. So if you have a aged blog with some traffic on blogger or any other network apply with that url.

3. Can my Blogger Blog will be approved for Adsence?
Tip: Blogger blogs are easily approved.
If you are previously banned from adsense for click fraud

4. What to do if you were banned from Adsence.
Google takes click fraud very seriously, if you are previously banned from adsense for click fraud, then apply with a different name, email address and residence address. It's always tempting for new bloggers and webmasters to click their own ads and asking friends to click on their own ads, don't ever do that. You will be banned for life time for doing so.

Adsense is like a duck laying golden eggs, handle it with care.

5. What type of Contents should i write on my blogs/Websites?
Make sure that your content is in compliance with adsense program policies. You may apply with a site that is in compliance with adsense and later use that account to publish ads on all your other sites.

Note: Google verifies all the sites on which your ad code is displayed manually and may ban your account or domain from adsense if they are not in compliance with their program policies.

6. What is the minimum age to apply for Google Adsence?
You must be 18 years or older to apply for adsense. If you are not above 18 years you can apply with your elder bro or dads name.
Get a adsense account without having a website.

7. How to get Google Adsence approved?
If you haven't created an Adsense account before, then apply through HubPages. Google will approve your account before you even need to write or publish any content.

That's right, no need to create content before applying to Google Adsense when you're applying through HubPages.
Read the Hubpages FAQ.
Sign up for Hubpages.

Once you've registered a Hubpages Author account go to Affiliate Settings (it's in your My Account page, under Affiliate Settings).

On the "Affiliate Settings" page you'll see next to where it says "Adsense" a link to "Sign Up". It will then ask "Do you already have a Google AdSense account?". If you say yes, it'll ask for your Publisher ID and then in a few simple steps you will have linked and activated your Adsense Publisher ID to your Hubpage account. However you're here to start an account, so select No.Tick the box for "I have read and understand Google's terms of service" and click the button "Signup for AdSense" and away you go!

Still if you are fail to create an Adsence Account, just mail me i will help you out.
Thanks
