Action Comments Gets An Upgrade

June 18, 2009

Some news I wanted to pass on this morning…

The Action Comments plug-in for Wordpress has been updated with a bunch of new features.

In short, Action Comments allows you to capture the name and email address of people who post a comment on your blog and add them to your mailing list. This allows you to take advantage (with their permission) of information they are ALREADY giving you in order to post a comment.

Action Comments 1.2 boasts the following enhancements:

  • Redirect people to any URL you want after they leave a comment for the first time.
  • Have different redirect URLS per category or even PER POST
  • Control exactly which list commenters subscribe to. This is POWERFUL because it allows you to create targeted sub-lists and use your blog to properly funnel people into the right list.

I’ve talked numerous times about how you should use your blog as a lead generator. Action Comments is a POWERFUL tool to do that, and this 1.2 update gives you laser precision in how it’s done.

I recommend this to you.

  • I've been wanting to switch over to this since you first mentioned it, but I don't want to lose all my current comments using Disqus -- do you know if I'm able to transfer them over to Action Comments?
  • Action Comments looks pretty neat - I like the idea of gently acquiring a list in this way. I certainly plan to steer clear of the 'QUIETLY' acquiring list members though, I think I'll be making it very clear what's going on if I use it!
  • Sounds like a great enhancement for a cool plugin. Martin makes a good point about the need to make it clear to people how it works! I've been working my way through the Six figure Blogging Blueprint that you provide Dave and it's first class. I like " Write for people, and the search will take care of itself." Cheers!
  • just bought this, because it's super cheap and is a great way to help build an email list, so why the heck not?
