You can do a lot of cool things like create a blog post from each of your tweets, create a daily or weekly digest post of your tweet, create a tweet on Twitter whenever you post in your blog, with a link to the blog post or even post a tweet from your sidebar.

The word autoblog has spamming connotations, but the plugin can be effectively used to create focused RSS feeds. You can also add your own comments to the feeds to spice it up with some originality.

One of the things that can really drag you down in your google rankings is having a lot of old posts with broken links. This plugin automatically finds broken links and enables you to either discard the link or to delete the post entirely from the admin panel.

Definitely a time saver and very useful.

You can bulk edit, bulk upload and the pic lens photo gallery is really cool. Highly recommended.

For example, if you want to write a blurb at the top of a list of different posts, you can simply list that post at the top using this plugin and ensure that it appears first. Without this plugin I would be lost.

It basically allows you to control the order of your posts in categories. This is a must plug-in for me and helped me get around the problem of ordering my posts which was nagging me for some time. You can download the plugin from here

Price: $97
Value for money: 5 out of 5

Description: Affiliate link cloaker/affiliate link manager

I recently purchased the best value for money and most useful plugin I’ve ever come across. I don’t like to hype products up, but this one did something rare – it did what it says it can do and it is easy to use.

Before I purchased this, I had a product called Wordpress Affiliate Pro which did something similar, but not as well. Although this wasn’t a bad product, Ninja Affiliate was much easier to use, more flexible and the support is better.

Ninja Affiliate is a WordPress plugin which hides your affiliate links. But, it also does a lot more.

  • Cloaking: The best part of the plugin and very easy to use.  You can easily choose how you want to make your affiliate links look.
  • Grouping Affiliate links: you can put your affiliate links in groups, name them and view click through data in the management screen.
  • Link Redirects: The plugin comes with a redirection system to help protect your links.
  • Link customization: You can easily customize the text that appears on the status bar of the browser when people hover on the link.
  • Keyword management: You can select what keywords you want to transform into affiliate links, and it also allows you to limit the number of keywords per post.

It automatically calculates the number of hits you get on posts, categories etc. and allows you to display them on your front page. Just using this plugin as a tool to better understand how users are using your site is useful, but having the top 10 posts always displayed on your site is good for SEO and allows users to easily get a grasp of what is popular on your site.

Download the plugin
