1. WP Stats Dashboard (Free!)

This is a little-known, power-packed plugin that will keep you up to date on the progress of your blog in over 60 different social media and web measurement avenues.

See graphs of your Alexa, Page Rank, and Blogpulse progress while staying on top of how many Facebook fans your business page has, and how many Twitter followers you’ve amassed.

All you do is install the plugin, enter in your username for the sites you’d like to track (and select out of the plethora of other link aggregators that WP-Stats Dashboard tracks) and update. You can choose to have widgets displayed on your main admin page or view the entire stat dashboard on its own page, allowing for multiple graphs, charts and statistics to be displayed in full (click here for an example of a full WP-Stats Dashboard page).

2. Popup Domination

This is an immensely powerful list-building plugin. Not only does this plugin come with several different templates and guides to help you build massive marketing lists, it also stands as one of the most easy-to-use list builders we’ve seen!

By adding this unobtrusive plugin to your site, your visitors will be greeted with an aesthetically pleasing, easy to navigate (and most important, completely friendly) box promoting your e-mail list, latest eBook, eCourse, or featured product which encourages your visitors will be encouraged to purchase or sign up for. There is space for you to illustrate the features and benefits of your product while introducing new visitors to your website/blog and mission.

The increase in conversions can be up to 400%! For more information and details on this plugin, you can read our Popup Domination Review, or click the above link to be lead to the purchasing site.

3. SEOPressor

Search Engine Optimization is a rapidly growing industry, and it’s only going to get bigger. Creating content that is optimized for search engines can only increase your number of targeted, high-converting visitors, and SEOPressor will ensure that you have the highest level of keyword-dense, rich content as possible – it’ll even do some of the work for you!

By adding a “scoring” system to every post, you can see the keyword density in percentage form as well as receive tips on how to improve your search engine ranking right in the post. SEOPressor counts the number of H1, H2, H3, and text decorated keywords you’ve included, as well as the number of internal links. The plugin settings can be used to automatically decorate your keywords with bold, underline, and italic text – making it more appealing for search engines and boosting you up the results! This is definitely a top pick for 2011, and can’t be foregone. Check out our SEOPressor Review or head to the purchasing page by clicking the link above.

4. Widget Context (Free!)

This is one of those plugins that you don’t realize you need until you learn about it. Widget Context allows you to dictate which pages and posts show which sidebar widgets.

You can set the widgets to show on posts with more or less than a specified number of words, specific category pages, tag pages – even 404 pages can be mastered with Widget Context. After installing and activating the plugin, the Widget Context menu (seen above) will be shown on the bottom of each widget, allowing you to fully customize your sidebar.

This s perfect for specific advertisements, product offerings, or list signup opportunities. You can custom tailor each product you offer to be presented to targeted customers, giving you higher conversion rates and cohesive content.

5. Shortcut Macros (Free!)

If you find yourself writing and re-writing the same HTML or plaintext links and codes over and over, Shortcut Macros will absolutely make your life easier.

It’s perfect for inserting images, affiliate links, repeat internal links, and anything else you can think of that keeps you typing out the same thing, over and over. Shortcut Macros allows you to type a small code (“##plugins”) which, upon saving or posting, will transform into whatever you need it to. As you can see in the image above, adding easy shortcuts to Amazon will make affiliate marketing a snap, and shortcutting column headers and custom text snippets will take minutes (which turn into hours) off of your daily workload.

There’s no limit to how many shortcuts you can add – this free plugin is an absolute asset to any internet marketer, blogger, or community.

 6. All In One SEO Pack (Free!)

This is a veteran plugin that’s been around for years, and continues to lead the way for free SEO plugins. By adding the perfect metadata, tags, and descriptions to your WordPress site, search engines are able to categorize and suggest your website with better accuracy.

The main settings of All in One SEO Pack allows you to dictate how your pages show up, as well as what keywords and metadata are included on every page (post, included) of your WordPress website. This is crucial for search engine optimization and is a “set it and forget it” SEO opportunity.

The in-post SEO box lets you designate additional keywords that will show up on the head of each post. You can add a keyword-dense title to each post which gives search engines more keywords to choose from – pushing your posts further up the results! This free plugin is a must-have.

7. Ninja Links

If you are an affiliate marketer, you know how much organization affiliate links demand. With such randomized and unidentifiable as some links are, they can really deter your visitors by misleading them and obfuscating their destination. Ninja Links offers link cloaking – that’s for sure – but that’s just the start…

Keyword replacement, campaign management and stat tracking are all features that Ninja Links delivers tenfold. Never miss another opportunity for a conversion, and create beautiful, comprehensive, keyword-dense content without sacrificing your affiliate marketing strategies.

Campaigns allow you to not only track and organize your affiliate links, but also custom cloak them. Instead of a big, hairy affiliate link, your visitors will see yoursite.com/recommends/ebook and yoursite.com/wants/favoriteproduct – any link hop text you like! Imagine the SEO opportunities… all on top of immense monetization!

8. Future Posts Calendar (Free!)

Creating constant content is a huge part of creative a successful blog. Sites that have employed multi-authors have an advantage, but unless they’re all in the same office, organization can be a hassle. Future Posts Calendar ensures that you’ll have fresh, new content every day of the week – no matter how many authors you’ve got writing for you.

Shown in each “Add Post” page, the Future Posts Calendar will show which days have posts scheduled, and the colors of each day will change based on the number of posts scheduled for that day.

This is a plugin where, after activating it, you never need to look at it again – it is fully automatic and will pull the schedule directly from the WordPress database and deliver the information straight to you. Keep those search engines and visitors coming, and never miss a day of content again!

9. Magic Members

For marketers and bloggers who run a site with valuable, sensitive content that you’d know your visitors would pay for, turning your blog into a membership site can be way easier than you think. Magic Members will transform your site right before your eyes and start generating memberships with efficiency, organization, and sheer power.

Designate where visitors travel, which can be an entirely different experience for a logged-in, paying member. Best of all, you can use any WordPress theme, any content, and any topic to create your membership site – all you need is confidence in your high-quality material, and a source of traffic that will help you turn your visitors into converting members! Have as many members as you want, various levels of membership and different pricing options all at the tip of your fingers. By allowing your members options, you build trust and credibility within your field because you want your members to feel comfortable paying for your content – it’s just that good! Payment options include limited the amount of content your members view, using excellent pay-per-post options, and regulating categories and topics that your members can view. It even controls the RSS feeds your paying members can follow without leaking content!

If you’re looking for big time monetization, Magic Members is definitely the way to go.

10. Scribe SEO

Last but certainly not least, Scribe SEO is one of my all-time favorite plugins. Not only is it aesthetically pleasing, but it is one of the most effective plugins around when it comes to search engine optimization for posts and pages. This is a plugin that was created by the hugely influential and credible website, Copyblogger – a go-to source for many internet bloggers and marketers.

In a similar fashion as SEOPressor (#3), Scribe SEO digs through your post and assesses the keyword density, text decoration, hierarchy and content to produce a score, and tips on how to best craft your post for search engine optimization. It also focuses some energy on the way you build links, and the way you insert them into your content. It has the ability to take a search engine’s point of view and offer insight into what search engines think your content is discussing – allowing you a peek into the complex inner-workings of SEO. Scribe has two ways to use their service – through their website and through a plugin that uses a specified API key to access your account. Depending on your membership level, you receive a specified number of assessments per month – easily affordable, and worth every penny.
