The Best WordPress Plugin For Welcoming Stumbleupon, Digg, and Reddit Visitors

Published by on December 30, 2008

I’ve been on a couple of sites and noticed they had a nice message telling me to ‘stumble’ their site or ‘delicious-it’ and it seemed to be corresponding to the page I was coming from. So when I’m on delicious, and click on the link to their page, the message is catered to Delicious, and the same goes for Stumbleupon, etc.

So I thought this might have been a custom-hack that somebody put together for WordPress, but then I stumbledupon the Referrer Detector WordPress Plugin.

WordPress Referrer Plugin

The plugin allows you complete control over which sites you have referral messages for. And you can even add in new sites, with custom messages. Everything is done in a WYSIWYG manner, making it extremely easy to manage.

By default, it comes with about 11 options, with all of the major providers covered: Digg, Reddit, Google, etc.

Installing the plugin is drop-dead simple, simply download it, put it in your /Plugins/ directory, activate it, and it’s ready to go.

From here, you can customize the text that is displayed and active/deactivate referral messages as you please.

Let me know if you need any help getting it setup.
