Displays a custom welcome message to new visitors and a different message to return visitors using a simple cookie.
As of April 2026, What Would Seth Godin Do is a WordPress welcome plugin with 1.0K+ active installations and a 4.8/5 rating from 10 reviews. It has been downloaded 221K+ times in total. Requires WordPress 6.0+ and PHP 7.4+. Available on WordPress.org since 2008. Recently updated within the last 3 months. Downloads are up 10% this week. Top alternative: WP Dash Message.
What Would Seth Godin Do lets you greet first-time visitors with a tailored welcome message — like an invitation to subscribe to your RSS feed — and show a different (or no) message to people who have already been to your site before.
The plugin stores a small cookie that counts how many times a visitor has been to your site. While the count is at or below the “# of Repetitions” threshold you configure, the new visitor message is shown. Once the visitor exceeds that threshold, the return visitor message appears instead.
Inspired by Seth Godin’s 2006 blog post: …in the middle, Starting.
