The Best Plugins in WordPress for User Friendly, Social Media and SEO WordPress
Although I get some traffic from other search engines, even foreign ones, (thanks again to Google translator) everybody focuses on optimizing for Google and then the others just follow. I do want to submit to the other search engines, then I suggest you submit/ping your site to them using sites like pingomatic.com, pingler and many others. There is a plugin in WordPress that will do this automatically and I will cover these later on.
Anyway, back to the best plugins in WordPress. The following will give your blog ease of use for both the user and keep the search engine spiders happy.
Half of the stuff that goes on inside WordPress, the plugins and all the Google Algorithm stuff is all above my head. I am fairly techie, but am trying to move away from it. It’s fricking boring to most networkers! lol
Best Plugins in WordPress
All in One SEO
Automatic Search Engine Optimization for your WordPress blog. Works out of the box for beginners to automatically optimize titles and meta tags. However, I would suggest going to the main settings found over in the left menu bar and filling in the “Home Title”, “Home Description” and “Home Keywords”.
You should also fill in the meta title, description and tags on individual posts and pages. However, if you use a WordPress theme like the one I use (Thesis Theme) there is already an option for SEO details beneath the posts and pages, so you can fill them in stead. No need to fill in twice I doubt.
Broken Link Checker
This plugins in WordPress checks your blog for broken links and missing images and notifies you on the dashboard if any are found. This is especially useful when using the best article submission software to article directories and if they are disapproved for any particular reason you will be able to “unlink” so you don’t have any broken backlinks that will downgrade your blog.
cbnet Ping Optimizer
This plugins in WordPress saves your blog from getting flagged as ping spammer. Every time you edit a post and save a post WordPress pings (notifies the search engines to return to your site to crawl new content) unnecessarily every time. When writing a new post it must happen frequently automatically and I even hit save a few time s myself. Basically just install the plugin, it helps. 
CommentLuv
Turning off the WordPress comments will prevent spam. So use either CommentLuv or Disqus comment system.
Contact Form 7
This simply adds a contact form to your site. You should create a page called “Contact” and then install the plugin. You then copy/paste some code provide inside the plugin settings.
Google Analyticator
This is absolutely needed to track where your visitors arrive at your site from. It comes with a graph and also tells you if your visitors come from Facebook, Twitter or Google. If traffic comes from Google it will list out the keywords that were searched that found you.
Google XML Sitemaps
This plugins in WordPress will generate an XML sitemap to help search engines like Google, Yahoo, Bing and Ask.com to better index your blog.
Hide Trackbacks
This plugin removes trackbacks and pingbacks from displaying at bottom on posts in comments area. This is especially useful to automatically remove the hundreds of backlink from article directory submissions.
LJ Longtail SEO
This plugins in WordPress detects keywords that have been searched to find your posts/pages and then creates internal links with them.
WP Hide Post
Enables a user to control the visibility of items on the blog by making posts and pages selectively hidden in different views throughout the blog, such as on the front page, category pages, search results, etc… The hidden item remains otherwise accessible directly using permalinks, and also visible to search engines as part of the sitemap (at least). This plugin enables new SEO possibilities for authors since it enables them to create new posts and pages without being forced to display them on their front and in feeds.
