Today is an exciting day for us. We have kicked off our Featured Articles Wordpress Plugin Marketing Campaign.
Featured Articles WordPress Plugin - Campaign Landing Page
BETA version of this Plugin will be available for testing from 15th June onwards. We are calling in all the BLOG owners to volunteer for BETA testing of this Plugin.
We are running a WordPress Plugin contest where 50 BLOG owners from a list of Subscribers will be chosen randomly and will be provided Featured Articles WordPress Plugin for testing purposes.
And the MOST exciting news is, these 50 BLOG owners will receive a FULL version of Featured Articles Plugin for FREE!! ($20 value) once we launch it on 15th of July 2009.
I invite my fellow bloggers and wordpress users to subscribe to the list here -
Join our growing list of Featured Article BETA testers (and receive a FREE Featured Articles Plugin worth $20 once the contest ends)
How thought turned into an idea?
I have always noticed a website visitors lack of attention to existing articles or banners thus loosing a lot of conversion value. It’s called Article / Ad Blindness, and every civilized human in the world has it.
“Ad Blindness is a term used to denote the state of conscious or subconscious ignorance of advertisements placed in a web page by visitors…”
We did check a lot of other Featured Articles Plugins available but none fit our need. They were either hard to install and implement or need code level access to pass the post ID’s as parameters. We wanted to use something that is simple and can be managed entirely by using WordPress Settings Console. We were not able to find a single Plugin that fits our need and thus Featured Articles WordPress Plugin was born.
Here are some COOL features of Featured Articles WordPress Plugin -
- Complete Management of Plugin by using the Settings Console in WordPress.
- Select the Height and Width from within the Management Console.
- Capable of creating Multiple Instances of the rotator, thus providing you the ability to rotate separatearticles on separate pages / templates.
- Ability to rotate BANNERS / ADS from within the same Management Console.
- Proven to increase conversion rates, and reduce Bounce Rates.
- Provides you with a new medium to present anything worthwhile to your visitors.
- Flush all the pending changes with a single click thus removing the margin of error.
As said above we do need a handful of smart BLOG owners for testing our product. And as a bonus reward for helping us we will offer this Plugin for free to those BLOG owners once we launch the FULL version.
If you think you will be able to help, please sign up and we will send you the plugin once the BETA is released. We will be selecting a list of 50 bloggers for testing this amazing product.
