An Apology to SEO Theory Registered Users
If you received an email from me yesterday via the SEO Theory blog, and you know you did not subscribe for email notifications, please accept my humble apology. I used the SUBSCRIBE2 plugin to manually send a message. Because of changes made to the SEO Theory user/subscriber database in 2012 two groups of user/subscriber accounts co-exist side-by-side. The older group, which SUBSCRIBE2 designates Registered Subscribers, was bulk-modified to OPT OUT of receiving emails. That is, if you ever registered (through WordPress) as a user on SEO Theory (to leave a comment), you are in the older Registered Subscribers group. You can log into the blog at any time and change your email notifications (OPT IN or OPT OUT) on your user dashboard. The newer group, which SUBSCRIBE2 designates Public Subscribers, consists of all the people who have signed up (OPTED IN) for email notifications from the blog. These people are NOT WordPress users and do not have dashboards. These SUBSCRIBE2 accounts can only delete themselves from the mailing list. (NOTE: It is no longer necessary to register to leave a comment.) Yesterday I wrote How Google’s Disavow Tool Works with the Penguin Algorithm for the Reflective Dynamics Blog. This very […]
