What Would Seth Godin Do? A Plugin for WordPress.

By Donovan | April 19, 2007

Seth Godin advocates using cookies to determine new visitors to your site. Here’s an example of what he’s talking about. Let’s say I am visiting Tod Maffin’s site, todbits, for the first time. I’d see his site and a boxed in area right under the title of the first post. Inside this boxed area is a message, written by Tod, specifically for those who are visiting his site for the first time.

Pretty neat, I think. The real magic of the What Would Seth Godin Do WordPress Plugin is that after a few visits, the number of which you get to configure, the boxed area goes away so that regular visitors aren’t burdened by the message.

After refreshing the page three times, the message went away as you can see from the screenshot below. I think this plugin is an excellent use of cookies and is so easy to use, why wouldn’t you use it?
