WordPress has become a wonderful platform for the bloggers. This is mostly because the platform supports a wide variety of plugins and themes to suit what we need and like. It allows us to install thousands of plugins most of which are available at free of cost. However, in this blog, I will restrict my discussion only to 5+ premium and paid plugins that will take your blogging experience to the next level.

SEOPressor

It is simply hard to put in words how much I have been benefited by using this plugin. I rely on this virtual assistant to check for the quality of blogs posted by the guest authors. And it is really easy to use. This tool will remind you as to inclusion of keywords in ALT-image, H1, H2 and H3 tags. The plugin also checks for the keyword density as well as internal links.

CommentLuv 

Many of my fellow bloggers can’t help but speak at length regarding the benefits this plugin offers. I am too all praise for it. This tool is extremely flexible and allows the users to customize with a plenty of options available. Previously, the plugin used to reward the commenters with a link pointing to their own blogs but now it has been promoted to a blog promotion tool! It has many a wonderful feature which is unlikely to be summed up in this blog. However, I am mentioning one of my most favorites. This feature has a title – “social enticements”. It has people sharing the bloggers’ posts on Facebook, Twitter and Google in large numbers.

Pretty Link Pro

Who does not love to pretty up her look? Well a link too! Surprised? Just read on. This plugin allows the bloggers to create unique links for their affiliate products. Honestly speaking, the links sourced from the affiliate programs don’t look pretty! So, you tend to forget them easily. Pretty Link Pro is rightly titled as it turns every ‘ugly’ link into a ‘beauty’. So, use this premium plugin to create pretty links for your social networks or blog posting.

Backup Buddy

“What’s in a name”? But here the name explains everything, i.e. the purpose of using this plugin. However, in reality, it does many more things than just keeping backup of files. By using this plugin, you can keep a complete backup of your blog files and databases. Your current free backup plugin does not support this. You can send those backup files to a remote storage location like Rackspace, Amazon S3, Email, Cloud Files and FTP. Before updating to a new version of WordPress or any premium plugin, make it sure to back up your blog files and databases.

Optin Skin

Let me introduce you to Glen Allsop, the whiz kid behind this plugin. This is such a useful plugin that the creator must be proud of what he has made. It provides you with 18 customizable templates. You can take any pick from those templates and create a unique option form. The plugin will help you have visitors to buy your products or sign up for your email list. Last but not the least; it does not pop-up like some irritating plugins.

Gravity Forms

Personally, my business wouldn’t be what it is today without Gravity Forms. From roofing companies to home theater specialists, Gravity Forms is by far the most valuable feature I offer my local business/website clients. Not only is it dreadfully easy to build web forms, and place them anywhere imaginable, Gravity Forms also acts as a CRM of sorts, organizing form entries into a list—giving administrators the ability to edit and add notes to individual submissions as well as a boat load of free add-ons, available for paid users. Pricing starts at $39 for a single site license and $199 for a developer’s license.

Pinterest Pro

Saving the best for last? Sort of Pinterest is ramping up to be the next social networking phenomenon, and what better way to leverage its traffic than to have it fully integrated into your WordPress installation? Pinterest Pro for WordPress supports shortcodes and template tags for all available “pin” and “follow” buttons as well as a TinyMCE toolbar plugin and sidebar widgets to display boards on your site. With claims that Pinterest drives more referral traffic than LinkedIn, Google+ and YouTube combined, the possibilities are truly endless. Pricing starts at $5 for a regular license, and $25 for an extended license.

Here is my list of top 5+, wanna to share your one?

Here is a list of some of the best WordPress plugins for stopping people spamming on your blog. Most of them are aimed at stopping automated spam bots, but some are good for helping you to stop the manual spammers. Some are also good for helping you to block spammers too. Some of the plugins will help you stop pingbacks and trackbacks spam, as well as the lesser known referral spam. The list is in no particular order, but does feature some of the best anti-spam software available on the market, and the fact that they are plugins for the world famous WordPress platform, creates a marriage made in heaven.

WP-HashCash

This is a CAPTCHA program that also stops pingback and trackback spam too. It is compatible with quite a few programming codes, so will work on a number of different blog types (on WordPress).

Akismet

A great anti-spam plugin for WordPress. Grouped with WordPress, Akismet needs a key code, but in any case is effortless to setup and gives fantastic “set it and forget it” protection from spam in WordPress.

BcSpamBlock

JavaScript-based, this is an anti-spam plugin that utilizes JavaScript to sift out spam discretely, without leaving gaping holes in the comment section. Clients without JavaScript should demonstrate their genuine intentions by means of a CAPTCHA program.

Comment Spam Stopper

Blue Anvil’s anti-spam plugin is a CAPTCHA-based program and incorporates JavaScript validation to guarantee that required fields within the comment area have been populated with information. It means that if you put none-standard questions in the comment section, that spam-bots (automated spammers) will not be able to abuse your comment section. It is a very passive way of stopping automated spam bots.

Comment Spam Trap

Delivers a twofold knockout by including a concealed spam field, and an indistinguishable CAPTCHA field. This effortless tool tricks spam bots into uncovering themselves to the program, after which the program bans the spam bot from entering information (hence the term “trap” in the plugins name). Moreover it will trackback spam and block it, and will send a notice message to you and the people it blocks.

Cookies for Comments

This comment spam protector takes a very different route to adding a CAPTCHA or a random URL style sheet. Instead it sets a cookie in the computer that requests a URL via a browser. The cookie is needed to allow the user to place a comment, so automated spam bots cannot enter a comment.

Did You Pass Math?

CAPTCHA devices can be circumvented, but with this program you have to answer a math question. This means that the potential number of answers is massive and a computer program is going to have trouble guessing the right one. This is another set it and forget it program, because it needs no further input once you have installed it onto your blog.

JSSpamBlock

This is a JavaScript program which filters out spam bots. It also removes their comments too. This means that it can prevent programmed spam, and remove it once it has been installed. A real life user must enter a code in order to use the comment section. This means that only manual spam may be entered.

Peter’s Custom Anti-Spam

This is an anti-spam program that has CAPTCHA installed. It has lots of customizable features. It requires any commenters to answer a CAPTCHA question. They do not insist on installing a cookie, there is no need for JavaScript; it has a random font display and will even provide a random audio CAPTCHA for people who cannot see very well. It has trackbacks installed and pingbacks which can be used for selective blocking.

reCAPTCHA Plugin

This uses a CAPTCHA program that displays words from very old books, which the user must enter correctly before being able to continue with their comment. It is a popular CAPTCHA program because it is not as difficult as most other CAPTCHA programs. The words are images and are clearly visible. There is no need to work in order to figure out what the word says, which is good because it is often this “work” that scares off legitimate commenters.

Referrer Bouncer

Referrer spam is a clever little trick. Fake URLs will refer to your website. For example you may run a search that says the Forex site and BBC news site has referred to your blog. This is very interesting, so you will follow the referral but it will send you to a different website. This will get the spammer more traffic, and sometimes people will link back to referring sites because they think it has come from an important website. This tool will simply remove this problem. All you need to do is install the plugin, and it will stop fake referrers tricking you.

Simple Trackback Validation

This is similar to the referral blocker, but stops trackback spam instead. It will validate trackbacks with an IP/referrer check. It checks the trackback page for your URL. The plugin has a settings page so that you may configure the plugin. It is easy include blocked trackbacks, as well allowing you to delete blocks too.

Spam Free

This is an anti-Spam plugin which stops comment spam, stops pingback spam and trackback spam. It has lots of features, such as the standard CAPTCHA, or no CAPTCHA required tool. It has dashboard counters for blocked spam and also allows a spam-free contact form.

Word Verify

This is a CAPTCHA anti-spam WordPress plugin which is a lot easier than most CAPTCHA programs because it is made up of text rather than an image. The awkward look of most CAPTCHA programs means that many legitimate commenters type in the wrong thing. This is often enough to encourage them to abandon their attempts to comment. This one is easier to read and therefore easier to get right the first time. The roadblock it creates can be overcome by sophisticated spamming programs, but most automated spamming programs are going to fail to enter their spam. Smaller blogs are not often targeted by the more complex OCR-capable spambots, and also need all the comments they can get, so this program is the best one for them.

Comments actually are a fantastic benefit of weblogs. The user can provide your feedback in the blog posts you write. You additionally know you have visitors and often individuals comply with other individuals just to see their responses. Alongside WordPress you can increase plugins to add added benefits to equally you and also your commentators. Today we collect some really important Plugin for WordPress comments and related. Hopefully our reader like the collection.

WordPress Plugin – Twitter Mentions As Comments

Twitter Mentions as Comments do exactly what it promises to do – scours Twitter for people talking about your blog posts and silently inserts their Tweets alongside your existing comments. The plugin leverages the power of WordPress’s built-in commenting system – notification, comment moderation, author white/black listing – making Twitter an extension of your blog.

Features

• Searches for Tweets linking to your blog posts, regardless of the URL shortening used (using Twitter’s Search API)
• Pushes Tweets into WordPress’s existing comment workflow – notifications, comment moderation, and author whitelists/blacklists work just like any other comment
• Fetches user’s real name and profile picture and links directly to the original Tweet

WordPress Plugin – SEO Super Comments

For each user comment we will create a new dynamic page on the blog, holding the actual comment information. This page will not actually exist in the WordPress database, but we will create it dynamically using a WordPress plugin.

What we instantly get in this way is a big jump in the site’s index visible to search engines. This is possible because blog comments are crawl-able, index-able and most importantly rank-able content. Also meaning you will start to get search engine traffic for the context of the comment.

The old author link in the comments will now lead to the newly generated page. Author’s URL will still be displayed (and we can do-follow it now as it will be only one external link on the page).

The concept relies around optimizing the target page using the title and H1 tag using the context of the comment. So basically we will take the excerpt of the comment and use it to create the page title and H1 tag and in the body we will old the content of the comment (plus some more goodies, read on).

For now all comments normally drain page rank even when nofollowed (bad for your site) the whole idea of using them to generate links back to your site instead and get free indexable content along the way, looks just much more appealing.

WordPress Plugin – Top Commentators Widget

The Top Commentators Widget a sidebar widget to show the top commentators in your WP site. Adapted from Show Top Commentators plugin at Personal Financial Advice, this widget is easier to manage via the control form (no need to edit the PHP file); additional options are also available to make it more flexible. Read the FAQ section on how to customize the widget.

WordPress Plugin – Greg’s Comment Length Limiter

This plugin provides a configurable limit on the length of comments left in the comment form, with a character countdown displayed for the user and dynamically updated with each keypress.

Most of us welcome comments on our blog posts, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that we — or our readers — like to see comments reaching into thousands of words. Readers may be discouraged from commenting themselves (or reading comments at all) when they see very long entries left by others, and during times of high load, the significant performance overheads associated with retrieving and displaying long comments can slow even the speediest dedicated servers.

This plugin provides one more tool by directly limiting the length of any one comment. A lightweight JavaScript counter — just 5 lines of inline JavaScript, with no gigantic external AJAX libraries to load — lets the user know how many characters they have left to complete their entry. Any additional text which might be inserted beyond the configured limit via cutting and pasting is automatically trimmed to length.

For users without JavaScript, the counter degrades gracefully, providing a visual indication of the preferred (but unenforced) length limit, without the countdown feature.

WordPress Plugin – Better WordPress Recent Comments

This plugin displays recent comment lists at assigned locations. It does not add any significant load to your website. The comment list is updated on the fly when a visitor adds a comment or when you moderate one. No additional queries are needed for end-users.

A recent comment list, in my opinion, can help stimulate discussion and exploration of your blog tremendously. Now for the past few months I have been using a plugin called Get Recent Comments; though this plugin is configurable and indeed popular, the code is somehow messy and no support for custom post type is found. The worst thing is Get Recent Comment doesn’t seem to be updated anymore,

Other Features

• Has the options to show comment only, trackback only, or show both (separately or all together)
• Get comments from a specific post, using either ID or post name (slug).
• Possibility to add different comment lists with different settings on one page
• You can show comments on a separate page, with pagination and a custom template!
• You can sort comment lists descendingly or ascendingly
• Supports custom post type
• Supports Gravatar
• Supports smiley
• Widget-ready
• Template functions ready
• Generate Zero SQL query for end-users
• Possibility to trim post title to a certain number of words.
• Possibility to trim comment to a specific number of words
• Possibility to split long words into smaller chunks
• WordPress Multi-site compatible (not tested with WPMU)
• And more…
