Be careful, though. If you’re using a plugin that displays content based on random algorithms, you may not want something you wrote a long time ago or about an esoteric subject to be something people click.

Jesse you might be right, I installed about 3 diff plugins for posts a few days ago, and removed the other 2. One of them did mention needing wordpress stats, might have been that one. Which is another great plugin, BTW!

Great tip. I have fiddled around with a few similar plugins. I just rebranded my site and have a whole new look. I will need to revisit the popular post plugin. There are also plugins that will give you a random post in the sidebar. Driving traffic to even those not so popular posts.

This is great Mack, I’ve been looking for a “Popular Posts” plugin.

It looks like the plugin requires the WordPress.com Stats plugin first? I didn’t have that set up yet so I just added it.

Great reminder about displaying “the gold.”

Mack, there’s a plugin called YARP or YARRP that adds in popular posts – with pics – at the end of each blog post. It does a similar function and is actually quite good at traffic boosting too.
