Putting your MLM blog on steroids

Below, I will give you a listing and explanation, of plugins that will help improve your blog, and potentially improve your MLM lead generation efforts.

How do you think your business would look? Generating network marketing leads would be a problem of the past, as you would have an abundance of leads and prospects hungry for your material.

Top recommended plugins to supercharge your home business blog
1. Akismet
Spam is a problem that is all over the internet. Akismet takes care of the spam problem for you. The more traffic and visitors you get to your home business blog, the more comment spam that will come your way. Your blog will not look professional if you were to allow some of this spam. Imagine having a blog post where you’re showing your visitors how to generate network marketing leads online, and you have a comment talking about generic drugs for example. If you own a MLM or any other blog, you must have Akismet. Where your blog does not have spam comments, your readers and visitors are less likely to leave.

2. Google XML Sitemaps
Google XML Sitemaps takes care of certain important functions for you; it generates an XML sitemap of your entire MLM site, and submits it to the search engines automatically. This XML sitemap is used by Google, to get a picture of your entire site, including its posts and pages. This helps ensure your pages are indexed within the search engines. Ensuring your content is optimized gives you more visitors, since your pages and posts are already indexed.

3. Dagon Design Sitemap Generator plugin

Not only will Google love the speed, but your network marketing blog readers will greatly appreciate a fast-loading site. You may have visited a very slow-to-load blog before......how long did you stay on the site?

Used in combination with Amazon's S3 and CDN services, W3 total cache will boost your network marketing blog speed by unbelievable factors.

Your prospects are bound to stay on your site longer and read your content, if your network marketing blog loads faster. This of course assumes you have killer content on your blog.
