Sarah Gooding says, “This week Mandrill announced that it will be discontinuing its free tier for transactional emails. As of March 16th, new Mandrill users will create their accounts through MailChimp and existing users will be required to merge their accounts with a MailChimp account where they will be charged $20+/mo for transactional emails. The deadline for merging accounts is April 27th. MailChimp is choosing to focus on delivering “personalized transactional” emails that require more design. For those who want to continue delivering utility type emails, the company recommends... [...]

Jerod Morris says, “In any description of WordPress features, there’s one word you’re sure to see: Free. This is, of course, true. The files necessary to install WordPress on a server and run it are indeed free. A casual content producer could even sign up at WordPress.com and run their entire website for free, never paying a dime if all they wanted were the most basic features. But you are no casual content producer. You use WordPress like we use WordPress: as a serious business tool to drive serious revenue”. What Is the True Cost of Building and Managing a WordPress Website? ‘Copyblogger’... [...]

Bounce rate is one of the key factors in determining your ranking in the search engines. A bounce is when a visitor arrives on a page on your site and leaves without going to another page to explore your site. You want visitors to hang around, explore the information riches you provide, and become a frequent visitor. The first step is to get them to stay a while. That’s the purpose of WP Sticky Posts, a WordPress plugin that takes long posts and divides them into multiple sections that go on separate pages. If your posts, even your best ones, are on a single page, a visitor may stop with... [...]

Even better, if you have a successful WordPress site (say, KnifeDeals.com) and you want to create a new site (say, ForkDeals.com), and maybe another (SpoonDeals.com), and you want to take what’s already working and reuse it, WP Master Clone is especially for you. This software makes it simple for even a novice to clone a site. Just enter your login details for both the old site and the new site and Press Go. You don’t have to: • Use the WordPress... [...]

Marcus Miller says, “If you run a small or local business, there is a good chance that your site is built in WordPress. In fact, statistics from BuiltWith.com would indicate that WordPress powers about 50 percent of the entire internet. The exact numbers vary, with other statistics showing WordPress powering 22 percent of new active sites or 58.9 percent of sites where CMS is known. Whatever way you look at it, that’s a lot of WordPress websites. WordPress is not just used for the likes of food blogs and local businesses, though — brands and huge websites use the platform. Further stats... [...]

Matt McGee says, “WordPress is strongly encouraging users of its self-hosted software to upgrade immediately to version 4.4.1, which was released on Wednesday. From the announcement: This is a security release for all previous versions and we strongly encourage you to update your sites immediately. WordPress versions 4.4 and earlier are affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability that could allow a site to be compromised. The update also includes 52 bug fixes, WordPress says, and offers an update that includes the latest diverse emoji. Self-hosted WordPress users can install version... [...]

Your site needs traffic, actually, it needs more traffic and better traffic (i.e., traffic likely to invest in your offers.) That traffic does exist; no doubt about it. You just need to find it. Abbas Ravji had the same problem, and he decided to do something about it. When he analyzed the situation, he realized that the sites on Google’s page 1 are getting the traffic he needs. If only he could find out how they get the traffic and steer some of that traffic to his site. The result of his investigation is his new plugin, Wp RankMe. This new WordPress plugin digs into the public information... [...]
