There are a lot of top 10 wordpress plugins lists out there, but everyone has a little different view about their favorites. Below is my top 10, I had to take Coolplayer off the list because of last weeks problem after upgrading wordpress so it has been replaced by Embedded Video.

Originally from Wisconsin, I moved out to Salt Lake City over ten years ago on a six month software development contract. I now have over 15 years in software development, and was introduced to internet marketing back in 2003. During the wild west days, our business focused on content sites for Adsense revenue. As it became harder and harder to keep up with the search engines, our business has evolved, and forced us to focus on building lists and creating products. We now have a list of about 5000 interested in goal setting, and a small internet marketing list of about 500.
