WPAds by theSandbox

WPAds is a Wordpress plugin for showing and rotating ads in your blog. You only have to define the ad positions and the ads you want to rotate in each position, and WPAds will serve your ads randomly. WPAds can show contextual ads (ie, Google AdSense, Yahoo Publishers Network, etc) and also image banners.

This should freshen up and change up your ads nicely. It could help alleviate “Ad Blindness” of your readers by providing them something different instead of the same old ads in the same place all the time.

WordPress Tiger Administration Plug-in

WordPress Tiger Administration is a plug-in that changes the look and feel of the WP Admin page. I think it makes it a little easier to read and navigate your way around and use WP Admin.

Compatible with Safari and FireFox. Will Not work with current versions of Internet Explorer.

DoFollow, A WordPress Plug-in

DoFollow is an easy to install WordPress plugin that disables the the automatic “nofollow” that is standard with all WordPress Blogs. If you want to reward your readers who comment, this will allow their link to be scraped by the search engines and credited to them. You can also set a time frame for allowing DoFollow and revert to the standard “nofollow” to help avoid Spam.

It is suggested you already have good Spam protection like Akismet or something similar.

WordPress Plug-in Comment Timeout

Comment Timeout is a WordPress plugin that allows you to selectively close comments on your blog to help reduce spam. There are three ways in which it can do this:

  1. It lets you close comments on old entries that do not have an ongoing, active discussion.
  2. It examines your spam queue and your Bad Behavior logs to let you close comments and trackbacks across the board to troublesome IP addresses.
  3. It allows you to reject comments that contain too many hyperlinks, or links in BBCode format.

I have found this very useful. Instead of me having to go in and manually change the status of comments, I have it done automatically. Akismet doesn’t catch All the Spam and this helps a lot.
