6 Wordpress Social Media Optimization Plugins
February 26, 2008
Yes, I know I’ve been away for an eternity…maybe even longer. Many major technical screwups aside, my blog’s severe downtime can be attributed to a malicious function that created over 100,000 redundant entries into my wp_options table for the blog database. Well, now that I’m back up and running, I hope you haven’t forgotten who I am or what I write about.
That said, I bring to you 6 of the best new Social Media Optimization plugins for 2008, as I’ve compiled on my original post from Search Engine People. So here you go 
Photodropper -Photo Dropper is a Wordpress plugin that lets you add Flickr photos to your posts.
Slideshare - This plugin allows you to easily add SlideShare presentations to your blog by just copy pasting the default WordPress embed code.
Enhanced Sociable - Joost de Valk rejuvinates this highly useful plugin by adding social media buttons for Sphinn, Mixx, Google Bookmarks, Live, and Twitter.
Wordpress Crawl Rate Tracker - Patrick Altoft releases a plugin for Wordpress that allows you to track crawl activity for MSN, Yahoo & Google from your dashboard.
RSS Footer - This very simple plugin let’s you add an extra line of content to articles in your feed, defaulting to “Post from: ” and then a link back to your blog, with your blog’s name as it’s anchor tex. It’s meant to prevent scrapers from unduly stealing your content.
Automatic Keyword Insertion - This plugin is pure gold for affiliate marketers (especially for niche sites!). The plugin works by taking the keyword that a visitor used to find your site in any major search engine and turns it into an affiliate link.
There’s a wealth of SMO possible through all of the plugins I’ve talked about above, and I’m sure there’s many more that I’ve missed. Do you know of any others? Add to this conversation by leaving a comment and letting me know about your favorite wordpress plugin

It’s always good to be a little more sociable so I am taking a look at the Enhanced Sociable plugin.
I am also going to take a closer look at the keyword insertion plugin. It sounds great but I really have to see it in use I guess.
I am so happy that I switched from blogger.com to my own domains and Wordpress, I have so much fun finding and using plugins.

The keyword insertion plugin is ideally suited towards product based wordpress sites, or for mini affiliate niche sites…ideally you would have a review of a product, and the buy link right on top!

I checked out photodropper..

Can you tell me about a plugin which will add a contact form? I have came across some but they have so many files to upload to the wp_content/pluggin folder. I am looking for one with easy installation. If you can help, it would be great. Thanks.

Hi Anirban - Why don’t you try cForms

It’s actually fairly easy to install and its also secure - Dev

Oh, seems like Wordpress has a lot to offer.
I mostly use Blogger for now.
