Wordpress Plugin to Increase RSS subscribers
Richard Miller has just released his What Would Seth Godin Do (WWSGD) Wordpress plugin, which is designed to increase your number of RSS subscribers through the use of cookie-based messages that remind each reader to subscribe to your blog feed.
Very useful for repeat visitors to your blog because they’re very likely to subscribe if you just give them a gentle nudge in the right direction. Here’s his explanation of how the plugin works:
By default, new visitors to your blog will see a small box above each post containing the words “If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!â€? After 3 visits the message disappears. You can customize this message, its lifespan, and its location…This plugin requires cookies. Users without support for cookies will always see the new visitor message. It has been tested with WordPress 2.0, but it may work with earlier versions.
A screen shot of the plugin in action on Miller’s blog:
Cool…thanks for this info
oh…and by the way…I did you a favor!

Great post – just got started in blogging recently.
Very good information. Thank you and keep up the good work.
Hi.
Nice site! And some really helpful information there. I’m sorry for beeing a little off-topic, but I want to ask you about the design of this site. Did you make this template yourself or got from any templates website? I am using joomla myself, but want something better..
Hi.. cool blog.. I was wondering if you would consider allowing me to add your blog feed to my news section on my webmaster website . I realise that not all of your posts are strictly webmaster related but ive written a script to only show posts containing certain keywords so theres no need to worry. Anyway, like i said.. cool blog.. some interesting stuff.. thanks
Hi Ozone,
Yes you can add my blog feed to your news section.. but only if you run a partial feed (excerpts) with a link back to the specific post permalink. I don’t allow my full feed to be run on another site. Thanks for your comment! ^_^
I have viewed and installed tons and tons and tons of Wordpress plugins, and hadn’t heard of this one! I can definitely use this! Thanks!
