In my research tonight I’ve come across another two plugins that I strongly recommend you use to improve the reader friendliness of your WordPress blogs.
The first is one that creates a sitemap for your readers.
This is different from a sitemap that you make for the search engines – such as one you’d create with the Google Sitemaps plugin.
This is a sitemap for your readers – a page on your site where they can go to see a full listing of your site’s content.
Not only that but it improves your site’s deep linking and helps the search engine spiders crawl easily through all your pages too 
You can see more about the sitemaps plugin here.
Oh and btw, you can see the new sitemap page I created too.
The second one is an Advanced search plugin.
If you know wordpress you’ll know the search feature is pretty average.
This plugin makes an advanced search page on your site where a user can actually make a meaningful inquiry about something on your blog – and maybe even find the right result too.
Both of these plugins mean a more user friendly blog, and in a market where we’re constantly competing to be seen as the best by our target market, every little bit helps

I did not like the advanced search page plugin but I will definitely give sitemap a try. Thanks!
G’day Andrew, one of the things that confuse a lot of newbies is the matter of sitemaps. Most people do not realize that you need TWO types of sitemaps for maximum benefit, one especially for the searchbots, usually in xml format, but also a conventional sitemap for the HUMAN readers. The Google Sitemap plugin takes care of the former very well, and this plugin does a great job of the latter. Use both on your wordpress website and you are laughing.
Bye for now,
