If your just getting started online, you may have heard that setting up a blog is one of the best ways to get a website up and running. WordPress is a free program you can install on your hosting account. This program will organize and present a very nice looking website to the world.
And what makes wordpress even more exciting is a whole community of programmers that create plugins to make life that much easier with your blog. These plugins can be installed very easy and will help with your traffic generation.
I want to give you my top plugins I use that helps generate more traffic to my blog.
Facebook Social Plugin
Every blog needs some social proof and this plugin will give you that. If you have a fanpage with lots of fans this plugin will add a widget to your sidebar. You can set it up to show the pictures of all your fans. This shows to your blog readers that others like your page. Since others like your fanpage then people will feel ok about staying around and reading more. Its also gives the readers the ability to like your fanpage without actually having to click over to facebook.
Onlywire for WordPress
This is a service that will post your new blog posts to over 30 different websites at once. Google and other search engines will rank you based on the amount of backlinks you have. This plugin will automate sending out your blog post link. Instantly you can have 30+ backlinks to your website. The search engines will spider these others sites and will give you a higher ranking.
TweetMeme Retweet Button
Next to each of the post on my blog will be a little retweet button. This is great to allow your readers to send your blog post link out all of their twitter followers. Just think if a reader comes to your blog and has 50k follower and click on that little button. You will have a ton of traffic coming to your site very fast.
WP Super Cache
Blogs can at times load very slow because its trying to pull in all the database and plugin information. This plugin will actually take a snap shot of your blog post and put it into a cache folder. Now when your visitors come to your site they are looking at a cached version of your page. This will load up your blog very fast. Readers don’t like to wait around for you page to load so why not give it to them instantly.
WordPress Database Backup
This plugin should be number one because its the most important. I remember back about 8 years ago I had a blog that I was building. And then one day the hosting company server crashed and they didn’t have a backup of my stuff. Well I lost about a years worth of blogging in one day. Not anymore because I backup everything. This plugin will backup your blog each day. I do a backup and then have the plugin send me an email. This email will be in my archive. If anything happened to my blog, I could just go into my archive and upload my backup. Never missing a beat and the readers wouldn’t know the difference.
WP to Twitter
Twitter is a huge traffic generating website so I makes sense to post your links on your page. Everything you make a new post this plugin will automate the link to your twitter account. You can setup a link shortening service and wp to twitter will make a nice little post that fits into there 140 characters posting box.
Google XML Sitemaps
Google is a computer and needs to be told what to do. This plugin will give google everything it needs in one place. Your sitemap is all the links setup specifically for google. The spider will come to your website and look at your site map for anything new it can add to the search index.
