How to know which plugins a WP site is using?

Is there any way possible to determine which plugins any particular WP site is using when I visit it?

Many times I see a WP site and see some interesting functionality and say "That's neat, I wonder which plugin that is?" Is there a way to "look that up" on the site?

Is this a good question?

Well there is no sure fire way, but sometimes you can figure it out.

  1. Right click on the page and view source. Sometimes the plugins leave comments in the html. For example, I just took this from the Automate My Small Business homepage.

    <!-- platinum seo pack 1.3.2 --> <meta name="robots" content="index,follow,noodp,noydir" /> <link rel="canonical" href="http://automatemysmallbusiness.com/" /> <!-- /platinum one seo pack -->

  2. Search the plugins site for whatever that plugin does. Except for the most popular categories, there are usually only a few plugins for a feature. Trial and error after that.
