Feed New Visitors Different Blog Content

This past week I tested a new plug-in here on this blog. It’s the “What Would Seth Godin Do” plug-in which uses cookies to track your visitors.

The author says he called it the “What would Seth Godin Do” plug-in after seeing this posting on the Seth’s blog…

You set the plug-in to deliver different content at the top of your blog posts to a visitor who has never been to your site before. You can also set it for how many visits it shows these additional content before it quits. Mine is currently set for your first 3 visits.

If this is one of your first three visits you see short text at the top of this blog post about how to subscribe to my RSS feed and how to subscribe by email. If you’ve been to the blog more than 3 times since I’ve installed the plug-in, you no longer see this option. You can still subscribe on the right sidebar of course. You just don’t see the option above this blog posting itself.

In the past week, my RSS subscriptions and email subscriptions have went up by 20%. I will definitely keep running this plug-in with the subscription options available (both are handled by Feedburner.com).

What could you run using a plug-in like this?

1. Subscription forms for RSS and email.
2. A quick introduction message linking to your “beginner” posts to help new visitors.
3. A low cost one-time offer for new visitor.

What will you deliver to your new visitors?
