Other Worpress Plug-ins that Have Nothing to do with SEO
WordPress Database Backup – On-demand backup of your WordPress database. Navigate to Tools → Backup to get started. (You don’t really need this one if you use GoDaddy or BlueHost backup or if you have the latest WordPress Installation)
Get Recent Comments – Display the most recent comments or trackbacks with your own formatting in the sidebar. Visit Options/Recent Comments after activation of the plugin.
Gravatar – This plugin allows you to generate a gravatar URL complete with rating, size, default, and border options. See the documentation for syntax and usage.
WP Super Cache – Very fast caching plugin for WordPress. WP Super Cache must be configured. Go to the admin page to enable and configure the plugin.
Sociable – Automatically add links on your posts, pages and RSS feed to your favorite social bookmarking sites.
TweetMeme Retweet Button – Adds a button which easily lets you retweet your blog posts.
Cookies for Comments – Sets a cookie that must exist for a comment to be allowed through
Lifestream – Displays your activity from various social networks. (Requires PHP 5 and MySQL 5)
Ping Crawl – Every time you make a post on your blog it grabs similar posts from other blogs that allow pingbacks using the post tags. It then links to them at the bottom of the post as similar posts. It then executes the pingback on all the posts. You can specify how many posts to do per tag and that many will be done for each tag you use in your posts. Typically it has about an 80% success rate with each ping back and they are legit so the ones that fall into moderation tend to get approved. This creates quite a few deep links for each blog post you make and through time really helps with your link building. Especially for new blogs.
