You must have noticed that there are few bloggers who love to publish the top blog posts of the month and indeed it’s a good practice. This ensures that just in case a reader of your blog misses some important blog post, then they’ll be able to see them in a comprehensive post. Aseem Kishore has recently released a free plugin by the name of “Best Post Summary ” which does the same for you and all of that is automatic.

Best Post Summary plugin -

Best Posts Summary is a WordPress plugin that automatically generates a summary post of your best posts over a specified period of time based on the most popular posts in terms of number of comments or number of visits. The plugin has many customization options including the ability to choose the number of posts to include in the summary post, whether to include post titles with or without post content, the sort order of the posts, and the formatting of the post.

This is indeed a wonderful plugin as it gives lots of benefits -

1. Saves time – Finding out the best posts of the month can be painful task. This plugin does that automatically for you and thus saves your time.

2. SEO Benefits – A post with links to important posts in a month will ensure that search engines will be able to crawl it properly and thus will ensure that they get included in the search index of all the search engines.

3. What is working for you – Honestly, I didn’t think about it. I got this point from Aseem’s explanation of the plugin and I agree to him. Because this plugin lists, top posts and good performing posts at the top, so you’ll get to know that what exactly is liked by the readers and which posts are driving your blog and one can take steps accordingly to improve the blog.

I highly recommend this plugin to every blogger who wants to reap these benefits and of course save some time for the coffee as well.
