WordPress Plugins – How can they help you?

April 1st, 2010 • Related • Filed Under

You probably already know that WordPress is the most popular blogging CMS (Content Management System) on the Internet.  We do website development using WordPress that are easy to update and are great for search engine marketing.

But did you know that the open source nature of this excellent weblog platform means there are absolutely tons of plugins that can turn your average WP blog into a powerhouse when it comes to online publishing.

There are plugins for almost anything you can think of: SEO, Polls and Surveys, Reviews, Ecommerce, Affiliate related, Marketing and Business, Mobile, Galleries, Video and Audio – the list is endless!

It doesn’t matter whether you are an author, a blog publisher, marketer or web designer, there are plugins for everyone.

AND, did you know that you can have a plugin developed specifically for your needs – or, to help market your book?

Recently during an Amazon promotion, I got the idea of having a plugin developed that could capture the highest rank achieved. We are still in beta, but take a look at  here on this site (Right column under book covers) to see it in action. We are tracking two books (The Land of I Can and the Idiot’s Guide) at both Amazon and B&N.

Be sure to leave comments as to what additional functionality you would like to see in this plugin – and, ideas for future plugins as well!
