3 Powerful Must Have Plugins For Your WordPress
If you are currently using a free blogger account or some other free blogging platform. Well I got some bad news for you! It’s time for you to changed to a hosted wordpress blog.
Because you can install much more powerful features onto your blog if you used a hosted wordpress. Here’s are some of the top 3 powerful plugins I use personally on this blog to boost my traffic 
Flickr Photo Album for WordPress
This Flickr plugin for WordPress will allow you to pull in your Flickr photosets and display them as albums on your WordPress site. There is a pretty simple template provided, but you can customize the templates 100% to match the look and feel of your own site. And if you want, you could also hook it up with Lightbox or any other number of display libraries.
HeadSpace 2
I love this plugin as I use this most of the time to SEO my wordpress blog to ensure I get the right keywords been shown on search engine HeadSpace is a powerful all-in-one plugin to manage meta-data and handle a wide range of SEO tasks. With it you can tag your posts, create custom titles and descriptions that improve your page ranking, change the theme or run disabled plugins on specific pages, and a whole lot more.
Highly recommend to get more search engine traffic.
Google Sitemap Generator
This is a must have plugin for any WordPress owner as this plugin will help you make your blog friendly to search engine by providing them a sitemap to crawl your blog.
This plugin generates a XML-Sitemap compliant sitemap of your WordPress blog. This format is supported by Ask.com, Google, YAHOO and MSN Search.

HeadSpace 2 I haven’t heard of this one yet. I think this could help me a lot. Exactly what seo tools are included with it?
Have you try the new one: Search tagging terms? It’s very usefull
WordPress is a great blogging platform and getting it search engine optimized really isn’t a hard task. Using proper permalinks and robots.txt file to prevent duplicate content and a few other methods can really make a difference. The All in One SEO plugin is really the best bet.
Great post. I am not using two of the recommended so I will need to check them out, but I could not live without Google Sitemap Generator.

Thanks for sharing Alvin!
I just go to try headspace2 plugin
Good stuff, Alvin. I have downloaded all the plug-ins, but now what do I do with it. I’m an owner of Atomic Blogging but I find your online coaching program that you just launched too expensive for me right now, so I’m passing on that.
However, for us Atomic Blogging owners, can you put out a video as a follow up to the 3 plug-ins to show us what to do with them, ie; use ftp to transfer to web host and then instal and activate and use them on the blog. Good man! and thanks. I have 3 hosted blogs which I did following your Atomic Blogging manual, but I outsourced some of the tasks to get to where Iam today. Thanks man. You are a legend of Blogging!!
great tips, i download the flickr images plugin. hope it will be useful to me
Wait, are you dissing free web hosting? You do know that many people use free web hosting as hobbies, in other words, people like me don’t blog for money.
If you aren’t… then that’s some good advice! Alot of people use Flickr and such, and it helps give some spice to your website. It also makes it less boring with the pictures, so people can understand before writing: tl;dr (Too long; didn’t read)
Also, having a searching engine on your site is a big add on, it makes management easier!
Also, headspace? Helping you to attract more people to your site? Is it possible to paste the whole dictionary there as keywords?
I do not recommend free hosting because.. normally it comes with tons of ads on it… which is not good for your business..
For the Flickr.. it’s not to spice the blog.. it’s for search engine.. I do get a flood of traffic from images
you can paste some keywords on some post
Hmm…I now nt using wordpress, I now still using blogger. Any blogger tips?
Which part of the blog post by Alvin did you not understand? Get a life, mate. Pay the $10 per year and the $10 per month for Hosting and get your own domain. Do you seriously want to be a good blogger and build a business, then listen up buddy…. a hosted blog has its limitations!!! Don’t be a skinflint all your life!!
