How To Provide Custom Welcome Messages to your Blog’s Visitors

by Luca Filigheddu on February 5, 2009

Visitors arrive to your blog from a multitude of different sources, like Google, Facebook, Twitter and many, many other referrers. Wouldn’t be cool if you could provide customized welcome messages depending on where your visitors are coming from?

WordPress blog owners now can. The plugin which lets you do this magic is WP Greet Box. It basically lets you create custom messages to be displayed for your visitors as soon as they get to your blog. Visitors coming from Twitter may want to follow you while people coming from Facebook would be happy to have you as a friend. In a nutshell, different needs for different visitors.

Here are some screenshots, to give you the feeling of what the plugin offers.

Your visitors can easily close the box as soon as they read it but in the meantime you can get an important result: make occasional visitors subscribe to your blog or make them share your post more easily as well as grow your social media followers.

If you want to try this plugin on your blog you can download it at this link.
