    Very nice list. Actually WP-Spamfree is much less server intensive than Akismet. Wp-ecommerce however is not something I would stand behind. Terrible support and lots of bugs. Shame it’s one of only a couple ecommerce plugins out there.

    Akismet is one such plugin without which I can’t even think of writing a single post.. Else every day I will be spending most of the time on cleaning my blog from spam bots

    Good list, it will be great if the commentators add their fav plugins too
    Broken link checker and google analytics make me feel good!

    Nice post and certainly warrants review. I was not familiar with all 30, so I clicked on a few that might interest me. Please check that Ultimate Tag Warrior 3 is not out-of-date.

    There are few others that I really like:

    Hana Code Insert: Allows you to drop HTML and JS code in the middle of your article. Useful for AdSense and Paypal donation code.

    Ultimate Plugins Smart Update Pinger: Corrects WordPress built-in ping functionality following updates on posts. Only new posts are pinged. Protects you from ping-spamming.
