1. All in One SEO Pack
The plug-in that takes the work out of SEO. This optimizes your WP blog for you for search engines and it also works with WordPress e-Commerce sites too. Did I tell you that it generates META tags automatically? So if you know nothing about coding, you don’t have to pretend that you do. But if you do know about coding, you can customize what you want.

 

2. Digg Digg WordPress Plug-in
This plug-in is a WordPress Plug-in that generates vote buttons on your blog. It supports Digg, Reddit, Dzone, Yahoo Buzz, Twitter, Facebook, StumbleUpon, Delicious, Sphinn and Post Comments buttons. This is for everyone that’s anyone who wants everyone to see their page.

 

3. WP Greet Box
This is an official WP plug-in that lets you display a different greeting to visitors based on their referrer URL. So if a visitor gets to your site via Twitter, a greeting box will pop up reminding them to Tweet your about your page if they like it. It’s a great way to get your page noticed.

 

4. Contact Form Generator
Who hasn’t probed the web for a reliable contact form that actually works? Just try this one.

 

5. Google Analytics
Google Analytics plug-in works to automatically track all outbound links from within posts, comment author links, links within comments, blogroll links and downloads. With this plug-in you can also track AdSense clicks, add extra search engines, track image search queries and it will even work with Urchin.
