As someone that preaches being Radically Transparent, I’ve not been very forthcoming with the list of WordPress plugins we use on Marketing Pilgrim. By keeping them a big secret, I shamelessly thought I’d keep an advantage over competing blogs. Well, no more! Consider this my Christmas present to you all. Enjoy!"

OK just to add to the list: 1. All-in-one seo Pack is just awesome! I think it works better than SEO Title Tag. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/all-in-one-seo-pack/ 2. Exclude Pages from Navigation — Sometimes I like to create “pages” but I dont want them to show up in my navigation bar. So this plugin can help you to exclude ‘pages’ from your nav bar. http://www.simonwheatley.co.uk/wordpress-plugins/exclude-pages/ 3. PageMash — Makes it really easy to organize pages. (e.g. Parent — Child) http://joelstarnes.co.uk/pagemash/ 4. Referrer Detector — Automatically detects where your visitors are comes from and you can set to displays a corresponding greeting for each of those visitor. I love this plugin because I can set specific call-to-action for different sites. So for instance, if users are coming from digg.com I can ask them to “digg my post”, if from SU then Stumble etc. http://www.phoenixheart.net/2008/11/referrer-detector 5. Robots Meta — This is VERY useful, if you want to play with the robots Meta tags of your pages. So Say you have a “Thank You page” that you dont want Google to crawl, u can easily use this to set that particular page as “no-index, no follow” etc. http://yoast.com/wordpress/robots-meta/ 6. WordPress Database Backup —- If you are not backing up your WP DB then you are at HIGH risk. Use this plugin to get your DB backup directly via EMAIL or just let it store in your server. http://www.ilfilosofo.com/blog/wp-db-backup

All in one SEO pack is indeed better than any Title tag modifier plugin. Meta Descriptions matter too! Sphunn.
