It has been way too long since I last updated this blog; I will try to keep a more rigid regiment to blog about myself.

One of the biggest news regarding myself this year happened just last month when I joined forces with a good friend of mine, Lars Koudal and founded Clever Plugins.

Before going into details about Clever Plugins, I want to say a few words about Lars.

Lars Koudal

Lars made his name through his main site myWordPress.com where he covers anything WordPress related ranging from programming tips to usability ideas to interviews with other well known WordPress personas.

He is also the author of several free plugins listed on the official WordPress plugins directory; his SEO Booster lite has been downloaded more than 20,000 times!

In addition to being a talented PHP programmer, Lars has a broad background in Online Marketing, PPC and Search Engine Optimization, graphic and 3D design just to name some of his experiences; you can get the longer introduction about Lars on Linkedin.

Lars is a Dane that lives and work out Barcelona, Spain and looking at my desktop weather gadget, I can see it is 17 degrees celcius in Barcelona right now, while I am suffering in a much more tempered -3 degrees.  I might just consider relocating.

Tony Lindskog

Yeah – that’s me, and for all of you that are not familiar with my background could check me out on Linkedin or get the shorter version here.

My background is in Product Marketing, Customer Support and Project Management; and that is what I am bringing to the team.

I will be heading the marketing, customer support efforts (and affiliate support) and assisting in product development and quality assurance (big word for beta testing).

I am currently working on setting up our new shop and integrating it with our affiliate program to make it easier to purchase our products and easier to make money promoting them.

Clever Plugins

OK – with the backgrounds out of the way, let me give you the low down on our new company.

As we start out, the main focus will be on WordPress plugin development and we already have a respectable lineup to offer our clients.

• SEO Booster Pro – the pro version of the popular SEO Booster Lite – it tracks your incoming Google visitors, researches the current ranking of the keyword and then starts promoting the best suited keywords; automatically.
• my SEO Status – makes it easy to track your Search Engine stats; showing you how many of your blogs pages are indexed in the top search engines and how many sites are linking back to youm, automatically updated and tracked daily.
• my Video Poster – Create your own multi media video site; it scans as many Youtube RSS feeds as you like and post videos directly to your site with thumbnails and leaving no footprint behind.
• Twitter Control Center – There are hundreds of software for Twitter out there, but none lets you set up an unlimited amount of Twitter accounts allowing you to mass follow and mass unfollow individual twitter users; and more importantly, allowing you to post and retweet messages to all your accounts at once.
• WP Viral Traffic – Viral Marketing made easy, allowing you to “viralize” any post or page on your WordPress blog, asking your visitors to refer at least x visitors before they can see the full post/page.  You can promote ANYTHING you want! Pictures, videos, files, text, anything!
• my Users Ping for me – A free plugin that automatically lets your users ping your WordPress blog for you; it is a quick way to get RSS aggregators to index your site reducing the risk of “spamming” as the ping uses the visitors IP and not your websites.

That is just what we have available right now, we are actively working on a bunch of other plugins as well as updates to our current line of software.

The focus on most of our plugins is automation, basically making WordPress do the same things that you do manually; giving you more time to do other things to get more traffic, more sales, more income at the end of the day.
