After WordPress install tips tricks and plugins – Part 1

There are so many blog posts stating, 20 OR 10 OR 5 things to do after WordPress install.  I am writing here what I have done after my WordPress installation .The first thing I thought  was my site look ,I know a bit coding. So I started working on my template but it  is still under construction.  I love simplicity , so I tried it to looks like WordPress Admin Panel.

Now it was time to extend the functionality of WordPress by plugins.  I installed following plugins on my site

Akismet -it hates and fights with spam
Adsense Injection – to show Google ads in my posts  ( I am using only three adsense blocks on a page as per adsense T & C ), it is best plugin to show random ads. Let’s see how much money I make with this blog ?????
Google XML sitemap – for automatic sitemap generation
Platinum SEO pack – hope search engine will love my site, it has lots of more options then All in One SEO pack
SEO slugs – to strip common words like “what”, “you” or “can” out of my post slug to make it more search engine friendly
No self pings – I hate own trackbacks and pings
WP no category base – to remove “Category” base from url, it looks good
Permalink redirect – to get rid of duplicate content and old url’s, this plugin is awesome
Contextual related post – it helps to decrease site bounce rate
WordPress Database Backup – I need security
