Just don’t show full posts on tag pages, show only a list of posts with a summary. that way your post is the only place you’re showing the full article content, so no issue with “duplicate content”. — Dan

LOL that wasn’t intentional, seems to be a default wordpress setting. I don’t think the search engines care at all anymore about nofollow vs. dofollow. a link is a link… and they’re pretty good these days about picking out spam vs. real links that have some value to the content around them.

So, you advocate the dofollow in your post, but all your comments are nofollow. Do you have a specific reason for doing this, or did you cahnge your opinion since yur posted this article?

Thanks for the great post! I love good content that is helpful and this blog is definately helpful. I took the time to download every plugin that you meantioned. I loved the redirect plugin. I downloaded it and used it immediately because that is exactly what I’ve been wanting to do with my blog is make a page directed to another site.

Thanks and keep up the good work.

Great list, thanks! Was very useful in starting up my blog, http://offmanhattan.com.

Just had a question – I can’t decided if I should disallow indexing of my tags with robots.txt. You say here that a lot of tag pages are great for SEO. However, I also hear that duplicate content is bad for SEO (my pages have a lot of tags that would provide duplicate content). Any thoughts?

I like to use sh-autolink so I can make certain words or phrases in posts automatically link to a given site.

also, spam-karma 2 to catch comment spam.

digg-this is a good plugin too.

I like your seo focused ones, I’m off to get tags and sitemaps installed! thanks

Thanks for this thorough article. I need to think about adding the Ultimate Tag Warrior. A little late on the comment here, but I’d like to add that I think there’s room in most blog sidebars to show both Most Popular and Recent Posts- I don’t see this is an either/or point. Just depends on which you favor, as to which you give more prominence to.

Awesome. This is the most clear explanation of WHY we need these plugins that I have come across. Great job.

I agree with Ankesh about the most popular plugin, though. Seems like it would sort of become a self-fulfilling system. I’d much prefer to list the top 10 or so posts that I like the most and rotate them from time to time. That plus the random post plugin should be a good combo.

Thanks for the excellent list of plugins.

I don’t like the idea behind the popular posts plugin much though. Not because of overloading. But because it usually shows the most *recent* posts as popular posts (as these will be the most visited and commented upon posts because usually, the blog traffic will increase over time.)

I would rather make the “Top Posts” section on the blog as an editorial. Add links to the list on my own. So that the top links are based on quality. And not recency.

Great advice.

One quick comment:

This is technically a fair concern, thought it’s a little short sited.

No pun intended?

Great advice, all of it. I have most of these, but found some more must have goodies here.

One thing- Both the plugins for HTML sitemap and Google XML sitemap use a plugin file called sitemap.php. Until one of them changes that plugin file name, we can only use one of those plugins. I recommend the Google XML sitemap, which enhances searchability for the most powerful of search engines.
