Everybody who uses WordPress would have their favorite plugins and whether its because it makes blogging easier for them or because it adds ‘bells and whistles’ to their blog they would love these useful tools. I thought I would list my favorite.

1. All In On SEO: This will help tweak your blog for SEO (Search Engine Optimization)
2. Commentluv: We all love comments and this plugin will help to entice comments by linking to the persons last post on their own blog.
3. Dagon Sitemap Generator: I fond this really handy as it generates a fully customizable sitemap
4. Dean’s Permalinks Migration: I found this necessary as I used a permalinks structure that was not SEO friendly. The trouble is if I changed it it would break my all the old links to my blog. This plugin saved the day.
5. WordPress Automatic upgrade: I found this to be essential as it will automatically update your wordpress to the latest version.
6. Zemanta: great utility for placing relevant images and links into wordpress
7. Show Top Commentators: Another plugin that rewards people for commenting on your posts.
8. Chitika eMiniMals: This is a gem as it increases the revenue per individual post. You need to be a Chitika member for this to work. You can join here.

Of course there are more that I use but these are my favorite.
