Yes – Redirection is a good one and it gives you a lot of data about the 404 errors on your site.

I noticed you mentioned a plugin called “Redirection” used for 301 re-directs, wish I had known about that one last week, would have saved me lots of wasted time.

Hi Kevin,

Thanks for that – and yes, I’ve heard a lot of good things about KeyWordLuv, although I’ve not used it.

Cheers,

Martin.

Another plugin I would recommend for the stickiness factor similar to CommentLuv is Keyword Luv. Handy utility that allows users to link to their site, and they provide the anchor text as part of their username. A little different from CommentLuv which links to posts pulling the anchor text from the title.

Michael, hi,

Thanks for those kind words, and I’m delighted you found some useful information here!

I enjoy pulling the articles on here together because, a lot of the time, it expands my own knowledge. And that, in turn, benefits my other activities.

So you’re very welcome

Cheers,

Martin.

Hey Martin,

I found you through a search on Warrior forum while looking for the essential Wordpress plugins.

This is an awesome blog for the Wordpress newbie!

I’m trying my best to become proficient at blogging and Wordpress in particular, and I’ll be visiting here on a regular basis.

Thanks a ton for taking the time to put this info together!

All the best,

Michael

Not now.

A while ago I was a plugin freak, but the more plugins you have the more opportunities there are for things to go wrong.

Some plugins also slow down your site load times. This particularly happens when they have to access another site for information to do whatever they do. If the other site is down or slow that affects your site and you have no control over it.

Sometimes authors stop updating plugins. In this case if the plugin doesn’t keep pace with WordPress releases it can cause problems after WordPress upgrades.

So for a while now I’ve been removing plugins wherever I can. One of the reasons I like Thesis so much is because it enables you to remove SEO plugins.

However, I have at some point used all the plugins that I’ve referred to on this article, and the other plugin articles on this site, and they all did/do a good job and don’t/didn’t cause me any problems.

Cheers,

Martin.
