Since I'm using wordpress as a blogging platform for about two years now and I'm constantly experimenting with valueable wordpress plugins.
I've decided to publish a compilation of wordpress plugins that empowers my blog
The plugins included in the compilation are quite various, some of the plugins aims at easy post sharing via the general social networks and main websites used by users today, others significantly helps in increasing the blog ranking in major search engines, there are some that adds like button to the blog.
These plugins also strenghthen the easy blog RSS file sharing, some post straight to twitter all your blog posts, generate tags automatically, puts a better features to the default wordpress commenting mechanism, prevent from spam comments, add features for easily adding Google adsense to the wordpress installation to help you advertise on your blog.
There are also plugins which delete duplicate posts (if you have such), puts better wordpress blog search bar, generates a sitemap to the blog, add an option to include php codes straight into your posts, adds wordpress an option to easily put mod rewrite rules straight from the wordpress interface, boost wordpress speed by adding static html generation cache, boost performance etc. etc.
Here is the complete list of wordpress plugins which I have currently installed on my wordpress blog:

I do have enabled most of the plugins, though some are disabled but still might be helpful somewhere in the close-future thus I still keep them installed.
I would skip the time to describe one by one what each of the above list of plugins will do for your wordpress, since the list is quite long.
However I defnitely think this is a list of plugins you might want to have installed in a newly established wordpress blog for sure.
Note that the versions of the plugins which are included in this must have wordpress plugins collection might not be the latest as the included ones are the ones I do have installed at the time of writting of this article.
Also be aware that some of the plugins might create some issues with newer versions of wordpress (your blog might beak up!), however most of the plugins should work out of the box by just enabling each one of them from the wordpress interface via the menus:
Settings -> Plugins -> Inactive
To straight install my bundled package of plugins you have to issue the commands:
linux:~# cd /var/www/blog/wp-content/plugins
linux:/var/www/blog/wp-content/plugins# wget http://www.pc-freak.net/files/a_must_have_wordpress_plugins_collection.tar.gz
linux:/var/www/blog/wp-content/plugins# tar -zxvf a_must_have_wordpress_plugins_collection.tar.gz
...
linux:/var/www/blog/wp-content/plugins# unzip *.zip
Now as they should be installed under the plugins directory go and enable the plugins.
Further on many of the plugins will require configuration from the menus:
Settings
or in the menu
Tools
After being setup up your new wordpress installation will look significantly better, you will notice a tons of useful features which you might have previously missing and desperately needed 
Most of the bundled package of wordpress plugins works fine with wordpress version 3.1, if you're trying to install enable and configure the plugins on some other versions of wordpress, there might be problems!
If you experience problems by trying out my bunch of wordpress plugins please drop me a comment.
I hope you enjoyed this improvised article, if these bunch of plugins are useful to you please give me a thanks 
Thanks!

Few other plugins which I consequently found to be very handy are:
woopra – Shows you statistics about wordpress blog visitors
Tweet Old Post – Re-tweets old posts over a specified interval of time in twitter
P.S. Using Woopra plugin, requires registration in woopra.com.
After being registered the user gets an API key that needs to be filled in in Woopra’s Configuration Panel.
I came across a lot of posts on the internet about whether or not PPC affects SEO, but none on if SEO actually helps to cut PPC costs?
Hello my loved one! I want to say that this post is amazing, nice written and come with approximately all vital infos. I’d like to peer extra posts like this .|
To me, it seems a bit odd that while the The web was around for many years, and a sudden it just exploded over the course of a couple years and presto, we have everything. I think the government decided in the later part of the last century to initiate Email/Internet to the public in order to keep track of everything that people do. So while you may think the Internet is casual and open, everything that is typed, or sent can be examined by the government.
