There are so many different kinds of plugins... it might help if you posted what it is you're trying to do.

Hello,
I consider these to be the best (since they help me make money off my blogs)

1. Adsense-Deluxe - Place Google AdSense ads in your WordPress Posts. Requires WordPress 1.5 or higer. For complete usage and configuration click on AdsenseDeluxe under the “Options” menu. This plugin is very configurable, and you can store different adsense layouts. This gives you the ability to add adsense right in your posts for greater relevant ads!

2. Auto Links - Automatically turns keywords to popular websites into links. Powerful plugin useful to store all your affiliate links, and regular sites you would link to. By assigning keywords for each links there is no need to type in the links, auto links automatically creates the links for you. Can you see the possibilities?

Shortstat is old and buggy, but still good if you need some basic info.
