I’ve decided to start a weekly mailing list on WordPress plugins and SEO, which will contain:
- Info on new cool plugins I’ve come across or have coded myself
- SEO tips for WordPress
- Speed optimization tips for WordPress
- Tips and tricks for increasing the conversation on and the community around your blog
The tips and tricks in these e-mails will be unique for at least a month, after that I’ll start releasing them in an archive section here on this site.
The first mail will be probably be coming your way tomorrow!
If you’ve got any things you want me to give hints and tips on in the mail, plugins you want me to look at, etc: let me know in the comments!




Was already subscribed and I’m really looking forward to the first mailing. Great idea Joost!
Good stuff!
Looking forward to implementing some of your recommended plugins on my new website… as soon as I get an internet connection again.
30 days of offlineness at home and counting… :(
Great idea!
Isn’t that what this blog is for?
Hey Joost.
I guess this is the mailing list for which you have already sent some invitations to people who left comments under your articles? So I don’t need to subscribe a second time I guess :-)
Love your work!

Will you still be announcing your new WordPress plugins here on the blog?
Hi Joost, my two cents might be suggest you produce a better subscribe / subscribe to comments plugin, or better tutorials on how to set the popular ones set up on different sever configurations. I’ve spent hours trying to get these popular plugins working on my blogs, and with substantial support from the developer of Subscribe2, but with no complete success. And from the looks of the comments on the blogs, I’m not the only one.
Cheers
@Coen & Bregwin: thx!
@Keith: well, I normally don’t share so many small tips, just sometimes in bigger posts. I want to use this blog a bit more for the longer, more in-depth articles.
@Sören: you’re right ;)
@Scott: yes I will announce them here too. But I might use the mailing list to recruit beta testers as well.
@Sergey: it’s not a plugin, I’ll do a longer post on how I set up this mailing list later on.
@SEO Scotland: I might do that, thx for the tip!
I hope all of you subscribed already? :)
Great idea! Congrats. I’ll sign up.
I signed up for the news letter. I think this is a great idea because we all read so many blogs I would hate to miss a important post of yours.
Joost, thanks for a new source of information coming.
I(non-techie)found your plugins and explanations the most comprehensive and easiest to follow.
Hey thanks man.!!this can be very useful
Did you already send it? I was deleting my Gmail spam and as I hit delete I think I noticed your email. If so, can you send it to me again? Thanks!
@everyone: thx for the great positive feedback!
@Patrick Daly: I had sent the first batch out, but I’ve sent a second batch to the people who subscribed later, and will do a third batch tomorrow. I think you should have received it now though.
Sure, I’d like to see a review of RaSof. Thanks.
Hi Joost, I used the plug-in HEAD META Description by szub.net and Optimal Title by elasticdog.com. But then I found the AllInOne SEO Pack and deactivate those two. I wonder if the AllInOne SEO Pack could replace the function of the first two plugins, or I better reactivate them.
Any experience on using them?

Unfortunately your email was caught by the spam folder in gmail – when I realized this it was too late and deleted. Can you send the latest newsletter again to me please?
Thanks!
I just switched my main web site over to WordPress and Im lovin it.
Look forward to your newsletter series.
Great idea.
Patrick
>Sergey: BTW which plugin(?) do you use for this subscription?..
That would be fine! :)
Using a hand coded HTML form with some help from the aweber admin interface, so, no plugins involved, yet ;)
Hi Joost.
I’ve just signed up for your mailing list and am looking forward to receiving my first mail. Will there be more information in the mails than on your blog?
Thanks for mail list! I’m realty interesting in SEO plugins for WP.
@Brewster: the info will be different, so if you sign up to both, you’ll get more information then when you pick just one ;)
