RSMonials
This program is a near-perfect tool for collecting testimonials, or even a guest book.I have the testimonial rotator on the home page left column and you can see the form on the testimonials page.

One piece of advice - this form WILL be spammed, and you definitely want to put the submissions in APPROVAL REQUIRED mode. It seems that spammers are starting to break through the CAPTCHA element also, so I wonder if anyone has a suggestion on that. (Of course we are approving all submissions now, but it would be nice to block the crap.)

JC JoomRSS
JoomRSS sllows you to automatically bring in RSS feed content and have each record automatically inserted as an article in the section and category you define. The body of the article will vary based on the specific feed you select - some only provide a short summary and others will give a full page. You have the option to display the source page as a new window on the third-party site, as an i-frame on your own domain, or even as a wrapper if you really want to keep visitors on your site to the maximum extent. (But this can be a no-no with some content providers, so be cool). There are a lot of options for displaying, and JC is really striving to constantly improve the product with frequent updates and fast response to questions or problems. A great value - we have already purchased 20 licenses for JoomRSS and will probably get more.

Meta-description tags are critical to SEO and AdSense, and this little plug-in fits the bill - It automatically creates a description from intro text on any type of article page (catalog-section-single article) Simple and does the job.
