Here is four plugins you can use to increase engagement, encourage repeat visits and build a loyal following on your WordPress blog. Despite the growing interest in gamification, there are really only a handful of plugins available that are stable enough to provide Wordpress site developers a viable point and reward system to their users. There are definitely some winners:
Incrwd: A loyalty program plugin that uses real rewards to incentivize users to visit the site, share posts on Facebook and Twitter, and comment more often. The plugin comes from blog loyalty platform provider Incrwd, so bloggers can use their own products/deals or those provided by brand advertisers through Incrwd itself.
Achievements for BuddyPress Built for the popular BuddyPress community platform for WordPress, this plugin helps bloggers promote and reward social interaction with challenges, badges and points. The plugin only works with BuddyPress and requires support for several other core plugins. Another option for BuddyPress sites is CubePoints
