Today I received an email from Luciano Passuello, a long time DBT reader. He basically told me that he was running some bechmarks on website load performance, and that Daily Blog Tips was performing very good according to his tests. The only point where it could improve was on the Gzip compression.

Odtaa asks:
I’m getting some weird trackbacks on my websites. They link to one of my articles and then lots of other links.

How do I Handle Content Scrapers? Can They Hurt My Rankings?
Arun Basil asks:

Should I Translate My Content in English?
Blpgirl asks:
I have been writing a blog in Spanish for a while now, and since i decide to start doing things to increase the traffic i´m wondering if i´m leaving a big audience out for not blogging in English. So, i guess my question is: would you recommend to a blogger that blogs in a foreign language to translate the same content to English just to capture greater audience? if so, would you say an automatic widget is enough or better to do it manually?

What WordPress Plugins Do You Use?
Rajasekharan asked:
What are those minimal set of WordPress plugins that you would recommend any blogger to use and which are those plugins that you actually use?
This is a question I get asked quite often, so lets take it out of the way.
First of all I don’t think there is a minimal set of WordPress plugins that I would recommend to bloggers. It depends on the blog in question, and on what features the blogger requires for it.
