Wordpress Plugin: Published Articles Since Last Visit

We have recently developed a WordPress Plugin for PadiCode, a micro corporation specialized in web analytics and web marketing. This plugin is great help to small blogs, corporate blogs and even news magazines in converting returning visitors to RSS subscribers.

Just like the title says, the plug-in will offer you the possibility to display a list of published articles on your blog since a returning visitor’s last visit.

So, here is what you need to know about this plugin:

It allows full configuration of the message to display to your returning visitors
It is only displaying anything to the users that are returning to your blog and only in case they have missed some of your published posts.
The plug in doesn’t place any files on your visitors computer.
The plug in only works if you use Google Analytics for tracking. However, if you don’t use Google Analytics no errors of any kind will show up to your visitors.
It doesn’t display anything for the visitors that visit you from your RSS feed. (only works if you use Feedburner)
It allows you to connect to Google Analytics and see how many people viewed the suggested articles by this plug in and how many of them clicked on them. So, you really get to know if this plug in brings any value to you or not.

I like to think of this plugin as the “What Would Seth Godin Do” on steroids version. The difference is that we tackle returning visitors that have already proved engagement for your blog and I display them content that most likely is what they are looking for.

Lots of different students know some keys of term paper format creating, but it does not mean they would create superior quality research papers, but a sociology essay service would aid to write the sample essay of high quality and improve writing skillfulness of some students.
