Must have plugins for Wordpress

Since Sulumits Retsambew contest is going toward its end, I am going to reveal more and more things around this blog. Since this site is based on CMS Wordpress, I used many of his plugins to get what I exactly wanted. Here are exact plugins I used and why:

1. Akismet – Akismet is Wordpress spam watcher. Basicly I added Wordpress API key and selected option to delete the spam comments automatically on posts older then month.
2. All in One Adsense and YPN – This plugin insert flawlessly Google ads in the content. It’s known that in content ads perform better then other types of ads.
3. All in One SEO Pack – This plugin is must have. It arranges my titles and meta descriptions across the site.
4. Contact Form 7 – I used this plugin to generate Contact form with Captcha at my contact page.
5. Karailiev’s sitemap – This plugin generates Sitemap for spiders (Google). It does job on excellent way. After adding this it’s needed that you add your sitemap to your Google Webmasters Central.
6. Really Simple CAPTCHA – This plugin is needed for Contact form 7 plugin.
7. SEO Friendly Images – Excellent plugin for SEO-ing your images. This plugin will append post title to every image ALT tag and by that your images will become more relevant to the given topic. You can specify more option according to your taste.
8. Sociable – This plugin will add bunch of WEB 2.0 and social bookmark buttons so your visitors can easily bookmark it.
9. WP-Syntax – If you publish code from time to time, this plugin will do code highlighting for most programming languages.
10. WP-Pagenavi – This plugin will give you navigation numbers as you can see it on my Blog section. However I use manually coded version because of xhtml compliance.
11. Yet Another Related Posts Plugin – This plugin will find relevant post by calculating not just simply using tags, but with complex algorithm that use, post titles, post content and other functions to find your related posts.

That would be plugins installed on this Sulumits Retsambew site. I would appreciate if you would share and suggest further plugins that you find useful in comments bellow.
