This plugin let you to collect subscribers on your blog with a double opt-in subscription process. Double opt-in means the user has to confirm a subscription following some simple instruction sent to him by email. Each step of subscription and unsubscription processes is fully configurable (almost fully configurable). The plugin has a simple visual composer to create your newsletter and send it to subscribers. Emails are sent one-per-user, so subject and body can be customized with subscriber name. This make the plugin NOT suitable for big subscribers list. The subscriber management is still really stupid, but it is enough to search emails and delete them.

• Create new accounts without registering and maintaining a password.
• Easy to configure with no template modifications requried.

The whole concept behind the plugin is presented in Presenting SEO Super Comments Concept which I suggest reading.

For each user comment we will create a new dynamic page on the blog, holding the actual comment information. This page will not actually exist in WordPress database, but we will create it dynamically using a WordPress plugin.

What we instantly get in this way is big jump in site's index visible to search engines. This is possible because blog comments are crawl-able, index-able and most importantly rank-able content. Also meaning you will start to get search engine traffic for the context of the comment.

The old author link in the comments will now lead to the newly generated page. Author's URL will still be displayed (and we can do-follow it now as it will be only one external link on the page).

The concept relies around optimizing the target page using title and H1 tag using the context of the comment. So basically we will take the excerpt of the comment and use it to create the page title and H1 tag and in the body we will old the content of the comment (plus some more goodies, read on).

Since now all comments normally drain page rank even when nofollowed (bad for your site) the whole idea of using them to generate links back to your site instead and get free indexable content along the way, looks just much more appealing.

To spice things up, the dynamic comment page concept additionally features:

• List of author's other comments on the post are presented (good value for the visitor, more content)
• List of author's other comments on the blog (even more content, chance to interlink to your other posts, more value to the visitor)
• Author url links are do-followed (option, but why not?)
• Extra few clicks generated will increase your pageviews, lower the bounce rate and increase any CPM advertsing revenue
• I have also created a mod for hugely popular XML sitemaps plugin to include all the new dynamic comment pages into your sitemap, so that the search engines can index the pages more quickly.

MailChimp's Analytics360 plugin allows you to pull Google Analytics and MailChimp data directly into your dashboard, so you can access robust analytics tools without leaving WordPress. 

• Site Traffic: Visualize your site's traffic trends and see how blog posts and email campaigns affect overall traffic. You can also isolate traffic coming directly to your site from email campaigns with the "campaign traffic" tab. 
• List Growth: Chart the growth of your mailing list over time. Compare new and existing subscribers. And if you've got multiple lists, see how they stack up to each other.
• Top Referrers: Curious how all that new traffic ended up on your site? Wondering if more people are finding you through search or direct referrals? We'll break it all down for you with Google Analytics. 

MailChimp offers other services for WordPress users, too. A list subscribe plugin allows you to easily add a signup form for your MailChimp list as a widget on your blog, and RSS-to-email sends automatic email campaigns to your readers whenever you publish a new post.

Note: Analytics360 requires PHP 5.

To help users find the posts they're looking for faster, this plugin allows them to search for articles or posts within certian categories, cutting back on the number of results the user needs to crawl through to find the article they want.

Section Widget: This plugin is basically an improved version of the built-in text widget. It allows you to display some arbitrary text or HTML on your site - but instead of showing it everywhere on your site, it allows you to limit its display to certain section(s) of your site, including fine-grained per-page control. This plugin features an easy-to-use widget interface and there is no coding involved (check out the screenshots). In terms of functionality, this is similar to Alan Trewartha's Widget Logic and Matt Gibbs's Widget Block plugin, but this plugin does not require any knowledge about WordPress' conditional tags. This is especially great for multiuser sites because giving out access to the theme editor or allowing arbitrary PHP code is often undesirable.

Widget Logic: This plugin gives every widget an extra control field called "Widget logic" that lets you control the pages that the widget will appear on. The text field lets you use WP's Conditional Tags, or any general PHP code. There is also an option to add a wordpress 'widget_content' filter -- this lets you tweak standard widgets to suit your theme without editing plugins and core code.

Widget Block: Create widgets that only display on specified pages.

Ads For Old Posts inserts ads into posts older than a certain amount of days.

On the options page you can insert your ad code, choose to left or right align the ad block and set the number of days before ads start appearing in your posts.

It happens quite often that a blogger publishes posts or static pages on a regular basis which have the same structure. Think about for example a "picture of the day" daily post. With current wordpress state, we need to spend a lot of time doing copy/paste between posts instead of actually writing content. Be happy because I have developped the missing plugin to maintain post templates and allow simple writing of regular posts.

All the instructions for installation, the support forums, a FAQ, etc. can be found on the plugin home page.
