Magento Plugins -Top 6 Magento Plugins – at elsner One of the reasons why I love Magento so much is the abundance of high quality plugins available. If there is a feature you want on your Magento site, chances are there is a Magento plugin that will allow you to do it.

I have used the majority of these top 6 Magento plugins when developing Magento sites for clients. Some are free and some are paid for. But in general, Magento plugins that have a price and worth it as how much time and money would it cost to develop it yourself? Here I present my top 6 Magento plugins of 2011:

1. Canonical URLs for Magento – Developed by a guy called Yoast, this Magento plugin is a life-saver. It adds canonical links to all your Magento pages. So if your Magento website has duplicate pages with different urls, this Magento canonical plugin will tell Google which is the actual page. For more information on canonical links, I recommend you go to the Google webmasters canonical page.

2. Fooman Google Analytics Plus – This handy plugin tracks every individual page and used function within your Magento stock. It also tracks actual typed keywords by the customer. Knowing exactly how your Magento site is used by customers is vital.

3. Fontis WYSISYGA "what you see is what you get" Magento plugin. Very important when delivering your finished Magento site to a client, as chances are, they are not going to understand how to format their descriptions by code.

4. Z-Blocks – Designed by the guys at aheadworks.com, The Z-Blocks extension allows you to create an unlimited number of static blocks and content items. Best of all, you don't need to manually change your template and layout files every time you want to add an advertising banner or other applicable information. I cannot live Without this plugin. I use this for creating sidebar promotions and head promotions, which is important for better sale conversions.

5. Shop by Brands – Developed by AITOC. This cool Magento plugin enables you to create separate pages for brands presented in your store and link to them from product pages, thus making it easier for your customers to browse and shop by specific brands.

Moreover, you can use any category relevant to your store - such as manufacturers, artists, authors, etc. - instead of brand names. This solution has been successfully used by major online stores for years. Yet, another Magento plugin that I use for all my Magento stores.

6. Magento EasyLightboxI love image lightboxes, it certainly beats the default zoom slider function in Magento. Displays the images of your products as a lightbox.
