    Hi guys,

    I have several travel blogs already since 2010 so I have just decided to share with you the essential plugins I use in these wordpress sites + would like to ask you whether you use some additional plugins on your travel blogs:

    Essential plugins each travel blog should have:
    1. Akismet - of course no blog owner likes to deal with spam (saved me already days, maybe months of my life)
    2. Floating Social Bar - so that visitors can share great articles, or destination photos and bring you more visitors
    3. MapPress Easy Google Maps - so that you can add map to each article very easily. I used iframes before but it was really time consuming.
    4. Pingdom Real User Monitoring - so that I can see how great is my hosting company or leave them in case they are not
    5. Quick Cache or Hyper Cache Extended - I use both of them, seems there is no difference between them
    6. WordPress SEO - Everyone wants Google to bring new visitors to their websites, right?
    7. WP-PageNavi - so that visitors can navigate through my sites easily
    8. WP to Twitter - so that Twitter subscribers are informed
    9. Yet Another Related Posts Plugin - plugin verified by years of usage :)
    10. bbPress - not in use yet, but I in consideration to bring more engagement to my visitors

    What do you think, am I still missing some more great plugins that I should use?
