Blogging Tips

Of late, tons and tons of people have resorted to blogging to hit a fortune. It might be one of the most lucrative means to earn by expressing what’s in your mind, but you just can not possibly win an audience by mere writing posts. You need to accessorize your blog with plugins and widgets for attracting every single person who is interested in the written genre. Here goes a compilation of 5 most helpful plugins to gain traffic to your site:

1.Similar Post Plugin:
Usually, a visitor has some special taste of content. For example, someone who is searching about wordpress would like to know everything related to it. Hence, this plugin is the basic necessity on a blog.

Its function is to display similar articles posted on the website with the one which is being viewed currently. The similarity is basically judged by the tags or the content title. It surely helps in grabbing more clicks.

2.Random Post Plugin:
As opposed to the previous one, this is a complete turn around plugin. It lists those articles or posts which are not related to the topic being viewed. This plugin helps people in exploring other genres of posts in your blog, which can possibly help them find things that could be a part of their interest, other than the one for which they visited the blog primarily.

This plugin is a boon for those blogs which are so often updated that tons of their high quality content are hidden in the archives.

3.Ajax Comment Posting:
A commenting plugin, as the name suggests not only helps the users post comments on the blogs without the need of refreshing the page, but also makes sure that the comment posting form has been filled accurately. Considering the importance of making a blog more user friendly and lively, it is something a blogger or a general viewer cannot miss.

The easy methodology of posting comments increases the ration of people opting to voice their opinion through their keyboard. Commenting has not only been integral in its context for the last five years but it has also gained an exclusive space for itself in the blogging world. 

4.Smart Archives:
This basic plugin is undoubtedly one of the important plugins to systematize the archives. It displays the archives in a more disciplined manner such that every page is hyper linked to each other. This can be considered as an alternative to the Clean Archives Reloaded. The best part of this plugin is that while upgrading the version of the present wordpress, it does not start malfunctioning because of a new environment. This can be termed as future proofing.

5.Post Match Search Query Plugin:
Very effective for the users who have been directed to the blog through a search engine like Google, this plugin helps in locating the exact content being searched. It may not always be possible to satisfy individual users by a single blog hence this plugin displays the posts related to the searched words so that the user gets to find information in a more specific manner.

These were my must-haves on a wordpress blog, which have proved their advantages since they have been introduced. Use them in your blog to feel the difference they bring to your personal blog.
