   Great list! I wrote a Best Practices for setting up a Wordpress blog post awhile back with some very similar points, but I have a bit more detail on some of them. The great thing about different posts on this subject is getting different perspectives. I always learn something new in every post!

    Wow these are really great tips. I will have to come back and take more time to read them.

    If you are just starting out there is going to be a lot of trial and error.. In my case at least I was backing up and restoring all the time..

16. Jessica on September 7th, 2007 8:33 pm

    Fantastic advice. I’ve been researching blogs for about 6 weeks now and there is so much information out there it’s rather overwhelming.

17. منتديات on September 17th, 2007 8:45 pm

    thanx for your tips
    i love your blog:)

18. Keith on September 21st, 2007 10:43 pm

    This is an excellent list of tips. Keep up the great work!

19. Chris Moncus on October 9th, 2007 12:10 pm

    Great list. Bookmarked and RSS subscribed.

    Note that a few of these plugins may need to be reconsidered in light of the new Wordpress version 2.3.

    Like the enforce www preference. WP handles that for us now with canonical URL’s.

    Also, WP now has built-in tags. SO that a whole other can of worms.

    Thanks for this idea. When I first added these links ( I added both in my wordpress admin site and in my ecto preferences) I noticed a boost in traffic. In the last week or so, I have not seen much traffic at all. Granted I am real new to this but I’m still trying to figure out If I might be shooting myself in the foot by having these ping links in both ecto and wordpress.

    any thoughts?

22. Joel Libava on November 3rd, 2007 7:07 am

56. Steve on April 16th, 2009 2:18 am

    Max, great article! I would also suggest installing Bad Behavior to keep the spam at a minimum. The ping list is very nice but it will bring in a lot of spammers especially as your page rank increases. Akismet will catch a lot of the spam but not all of it.

    In addition, I would suggest putting together articles (5-10) before you install your blog. Then after the install immediately post the articles. The most spiders & bots will appear after the install and grab the content (and index it). This gives you a rush of traffic to your site.

    Good Luck!

    If you are looking for detailed steps on creating sites that run themselves check out my ebook called “WordPress on AutoPilot: Get Your Blog to Automatically Find Content, Traffic, and Sales”.
