Plug-in for Encouraging Personalization of Search

Thanks to Dosh Dosh, I found a cool new Word Press Plug-in today called What Would Seth Godin Do, by Richard Miller.

You may remember my post a few days back about how SEOs and Marketing folks are going to be encouraging their visitors to use Google products because of the Google push toward search personalization this week. If not - read this. How clever of Google to do this, as it will spawn massive growth in the amount of people who use their tools, since every other site out there is going to jump on the train.

Now you may notice a box above my blog post that encourages you to subscribe to my blog using Google Reader. This is the WWSGD plug-in mentioned above. It should stop showing after only two visits, thereby not annoying anyone all that much. However, it will always show up for those who do not accept cookies, which may or may not be a significant portion of our readers.

So I ask the question: Does it annoy you? Can you even see it?

I know this isn’t what the plug-in was meant for. It actually defaults to “subscribe to my RSS feed” but I changed it to specifically encourage the Google Reader button. We’ll see how that works out…
