    PayPerPost has their place in the blogosphere and it is unfortunate to hear when they are given grief. People monetize their blogs in so many ways --- personally, I do not like flash ads, but I can understand a blogger choosing whatever form of advertising works for them.

    BTW, my selection for a WordPress plug-in winner is in my link. I explained on my blog today how helpful that plug-in has been for me.

    Which reminds me I must install most of these plugins, I must be the laziest blogger in Bloggerdom.

    Yes, Andy, your DOFOLLOW tips helped my PR jump from 2 to 5 -- I love it!

    But I can't vote on these plugins till I actually get serious on WP.

    In the meantime, I don't think you made my list of blogger salaries. Do you post your income?

    And I rarely do this, but would you all PLEASE do me a big favor and Digg this for me:
    Paula's List of Blogger Salaries...Are you on the list?


    Thanks!

    At least it will eventually be fairly easy to move away from Blogspot, once WP2.2 is released.

    I don't publish full earnings, and it is hard to say what classes as blogging and what classes as earning from blogging.
    I noticed some of the figures you published were from monthly checks, and lots of people publishing earnings don't publish costs. That is creative accounting for marketing purposes.

    I was too busy and forgot to vote this round (sorry, Andy!) but I would definitely have gone for SEO Title Tag ... I love that Wordpress plugin so much.. :)

    I think is time for me to move into DoFollow, tomorrow I'll add the plugin, but makes sense to have also top commentators?
  • AndyBeard · 2 years ago
    If you have top commentators, I would strongly suggest only having it on your front page (use if is_home() ), or if it is on internal pages make them a nofollow link.

    I have to admit that there are a few must-have plugins that are my favorites. I actually also use all the plugins on your list from time to time, depending on the blog that I have.

    But, when these are the basic ones that I just must have:
    - "trackback validator", which automatically validates trackbacks to see if there's actually a link to your post.
    - "did you pass math", which adds a math question to the form for comments. Really helps with comment spam.
