Here is my must have, cant live without wordpress plugins -

Akismet – link
We all hate Spam right, well so does WordPress thankfully – so Akismet does all the hard work for you and prevents nasty spiders, bots and net crippy crawlers from posting millions of links and spam on your site – its a must have.

Cystats – link
This is the ultimate stats plug in, must more reliable, much more accurate than Google analytics and breaks down all visits into bots, hits, visits, referrer, pages, terms etc. If I may this is the best suggest just one to download this would be the bad boy!

All in one SEO – link
Optimises your meta tags and titles for search engines. If you are serious about getting noticed on search engines and need a little help with SEO add this.

Mobile Press – link
Have you considered that a large number of your blog readers or website followers are mobile users? Well my site visiters from mobiles are 1 in 6 – well this transfers your site from a massive online site and becomes a smaller more readable site. You can even enforce a mobile user to view your site in mobile mode and there is even an added section dedicated to market leading Iphone

Sociable – link
You know those sites (like mine) with the mini logos which allows you to add a favourite page to Digg, facebook and Twitter, well you probably know how important it is to gain more traffic from social sites well this is a highly customisable plugin which allows you to add social sites by ticking boxes. Awesome

Google XML sitemap – link
This automatically adds all your posts and pages compliantly to a Google XML sitemap, this allows all spiders and bot to check your site and register pages automatically with search engines – another must have!

Related posts – link
This plug in does exactly what it says on the tin, but does it right! Need related posts need this plugin
