Previously I’ve written a post about the Most essential and recommended wordpress plugins of all time. The article was appreciated by my readers and by all new and experienced WP users. Now I’m going to write another list of WP plugins for advanced bloggers.
Heatmap
This is a brand new plugin that you must have in your blog. This is a sort of click analytics and with this plugin, you can see where your readers have clicked. The clicks are color coded and the most clicked portion will be reddish.
With this plugin, you’ll know where your readers click and how often they click? This will help you to learn where to put adsense ad units and banners. This will also help you to learn which links and banners are performing well.
WP Greet box
A must have plugin for all wordpress bloggers. This plugin shows a special message according the referring site. If your visitor has landed from social media such as digg, then it’ll ask for a digg. The plugin is highly customizable and it optimizes your wp blog.
Sphere related posts
This is a plugin which shows relevant posts and blogs when your readers click on it. It gives your reader a much more content across the web. I like this plugin because of another reason. Some of the most high profile websites such as CNN uses it. After each news articles, they link to the blogs that mention that story or link to it using Sphere. The sphere plugin takes your article and matches with other sites to use as the relevant post. A nice way to get a backlink from CNN!
TweetMeme
Everyone’s talking about twitter and promoting pages on the network. TweetMeme is a new website that offers a small digg like button on your blog articles. It’ll show the number of times the post has been retweeted and will allow the user to retweet the article. This is cool plugin for you to promote your post virally.
Disqus comments
A plugin for wordpress that transforms your default wordpress plugin into a brand new disqus comments system. You can manage your comments on disqus profile. People can read and follow your discussions and with an ID, you don’t have to put the details everytime you want to comment on a blog.
FeedFooter
Feedfooter is a cool plugin that adds an extra footer part on your RSS feed. This can be copyright note, greeting message or paid advertisement link. This plugin supports HTML, so you can embed banners on your feed. The plugin has 10 spots that mean you can add 10 different footers which will rotate in your feed item.
Have your say
Do you use these plugins? What’s your favorite WP plugin? Did I miss anything?
Please Grab the RSS feed to read all new items on your reader; please do promote this post as the way you want to support me :D

Very nice plugins Tamal, thanks for sharing!
Mr Javo’s latest blog post..Spreading Love – April 09 Week 01
@Mr Javo, Thanks Javo, I hope these plugins will make blogging a lot easier :D
I think the only one of those I probably wouldn’t do is Disqus. It seems like it defeats the purpose of having DoFollow on your site, because you are not linking to your commentator’s site, but just their Disqus profile. Even with the Top Commentator plugin, the link will be to their profile, not their site. Other than that, these are great suggestions!

Kikolani | Blogging, Poetry, Photography’s latest blog post..8 Reasons to Use Delicious for Social Bookmarking
@Kikolani | Blogging, Poetry, Photography, Installing disqus will take all of the comments to the disqus server and that’s why I don’t support it either. Comments should be kept on your blog’s server as your property.
I’d add HeadSpace2 to list. Its the best meta-data manager and combines functionality of many SEO and Analytics plugins.
I use referrer detector instead of greet box and it also works fine.
I used RSS footer that has only 1(not-rotating) spot. Will have to try FeeFooter, seems promising!

I strayed from SphereRelated plugin bcz I wasn’t sure if they were “Do Follow” or not…but perhaps I’ll go ahead and give them a try.
