Site-Hype

Here is another free Wordpress plugin I recommend and use. This time to help you get more tags on the social sites and more subscribers to your RSS feed.

The idea behind this plug-in is really simply. Check were a visitor is coming from and display a customized message for the visitor.

Say for example you get a guy to visit you from a link on Twitter, this plug-in will let you display a message asking him to re-tweet your link. The message is displayed on top of the blog post with an action link.

Another example, say a girl is visiting you from a search on Google. She will see a message about how to subscribe to your rss feed and nothing about Twitter.

Since you can display a message that is customized for the user and make sense you will have a lot more user actually doing what you want them to.

Compare this to the normal social bookmarking buttons that are often irrelevant, it’s not likely you are going to get a Digg from someone who don’t even own a Digg account.

The plug-in is called greetbox, and you can see it used on all pages on this blog if you click the direct link for a post.

Here are some of the most important features:
• Show a different greeting message to your visitor depending on the referrer URL. You can add/edit/delete/disable these greeting messages as you choose.
• Greeting messages automatically get inserted into the top of your posts upon activation. There is no need to modify theme files.
• Ability to detect the visitor’s search keywords from major search engines and automatically display related posts under the greeting message.
• Show a default greeting message even if the vistor does not match any of your configured referrer URL.
• Show a default greeting message even if the visitor does not have javascript enabled.
• Cache compatible mode makes use of AJAX to display greeting messages in the frontend. This makes WP Greet Box compatible with other caching plugins (such as WP Super Cache) and WPMU.
• AJAX administrative interface that uses nonce verification to discourage hackers.
• Currently the following referrers are installed by default, but you can easily create your own if your favorite referrer is not on the list! blinklist.com, blogmarks.com, del.icio.us, delicious.com, digg.com, diigo.com, facebook.com, flickr.com, friendfeed.com, furl.com, google.*, linkedin.com, ma.gnolia.com, mister-wong.com, myspace.com, netvibes.com, newsvine.com, plurk.com, reddit.com, search.live.com, search.msn.com, search.yahoo.com, simpy.com, stumbleupon.com, technorati.com, twitter.com, youtube.com.
