I was just wandering on tiwtter and found a tweet from jeffbullas, a top blogger who share immense useful content for social media lovers and bloggers. I thought many of SME members might not following him on twitter so just putting his some important words about top must have pluggins for wordpress blogger here:

1. Digg Digg– Powerful and simple social sharing buttons

2. Hello Bar– Convert more readers with a powerful call to action

3. WP Touch – Make your blog mobile friendly

4. Sexy Bookmarks – Easy sharing of all social bookmarking sites

5. W3 Total Cache – Make your site 10 times faster than before

6. The Slide – Suggest related posts to your readers

7. Twitter Follow Button and Facebook subscribe buttons

8. All in one SEO Pack – The only SEO plugin you will need

9. Social Metrics– Track how well your posts perform on Social Networks

10. Social Media Widget – Display all your Social profiles in one place

@ptwylie hmm, really worth adding to the list. According to a recent report, pinterest is one of the fastest growing website in the world and i would not surprise if it is started using as top tool for bringing huge traffic to website. It is next gen stumbleuppon, what do’ya say?

Thanks, @moinshaikh.  This is a great list.

1. digg digg – must have
2. Hello Bar – only for high traffic sites, has not very effective for me or my clients
3. WP – Touch – Must have. Until you can get around to creating a mobile version, this is the very best “next best” option.
4. Why Digg Digg, and Sexy Bookmarks on the same list? Digg Digg wins hands down. You can choose where and how the buttons are placed
5. Total Cache –  if you have enough content to warrant this. Otherwise on low traffic sites this seems bulky to me. 
6. The Slide – I need to check it out
7. Twitter follow / Fb like – again, why on the same list as Digg Digg?
8. All in One is second to WordPress SEO by Yoast which is the undisputed champion of WP SEO plugins. I mean, common, this is Joost DeValk were talking about here!
9. Social Metrics – I will definitely check this out!
10. Social Media Widget – also worth a look.

@jasonwiser really good work, appreciate it! @srsheldon agree with you on avoiding unnecessary plugins. I haven’t use commentluv but have heard lot about it. Can you give a link to it here?

Oh My Gosh! I completely missed this – I posted a link to the article in a new thread. Yikes! 
@Moin Shaikh - I do not see a link to his article here – I did post that in my thread. 
Sorry about the duplicate folks! The other thread is here if you would like a link to the original article. Sheesh.  

That’s a great list! And some great feedback on them.

Can anyone tell me what this fly out tab is called that comes out in the lower right? It did it for me when I got to this website earlier this evening and I know I’ve been seeing it more and more lately. I’d like to look into it.

Thanks!

Heather

@Moin Shaikh  – You are exactly right, it is the Wibiya Toolbar. 
@Heather Murray - It’s the (light green in this case) small tool bar at the bottom of your screen.  

@supereb my pleasure! Wibiya toolbar is used for more than one objective. It can make your visitor share your content to facebook, g+ and linkedin etc. without even moving out of page to login to respective platforms, it can also generate an inpage( on the page) but pop-up type facebook page of your company. 

@juleswebb – Very nice addition – your link. I will be trying out some new plug-ins on two client blogs soon and see which ones help me and them.

@rebeccacohen i have not used it. Can you tell me which browser was causing problem?

@rebeccacohen i would check it by installing it on my site and will let you know. Can you tell me what site it was i mean simple site or wp blog?

I think we should add google Plus too. 

Great list. I already have some of those.

Very helpful discussion.  Thanks!   When I first got into wordpress,  I downloaded every seo app there was.   I figure more is better – big mistake.  

@moinshaikh

I think I might add Sexy Bookmarks to my blogger. The Social Media Widget looks good, but wouldn’t look right on my theme.  I did install the All in one SEO plugin and it works great.

Thanks for posting these.

Does anyone have any real-life examples of how they’re using Hello Bar? Thanks!

Great list! Thanks for starting this discussion @MoinShaikh. I’ll be checking out WP Touch, The Slide and Social Metrics.

I need a plug-in like The Slide for a client’s website. A couple others I’m looking at are: Internal Link Builder, Related Posts for WordPress and Contextual Related Posts. Which one(s) would be best to consider?

Also, anyone have a preference on using Comment Luv vs DISQUS?

Thanks for your help!

Nevermind, @MoinShaikh! I guess it just takes a little while to activate because it’s live now!
