News and Updates

Need to capture your visitors attention? We've got the feature for you.

Whether it's an announcement banner, an email collection prompt, or a landing page form (or anything else for that matter), Slickstream subscribers can now highlight key content in an eye-catching way designed to drive clicks.

There are hundreds of bloggers actively using Slickstream to improve their visitor engagement, and we process billions of pageviews a year for those subscribers. Today, one of those blogs hit a milestone no one had yet reached: 1,000,000 favorites on a single post.

One of the best parts about subscribing to Slickstream is the wealth of data available in your analytics portal. It features content insights, clickthrough data, search queries, recommendation pairs, individual widget usage, and much more. To be honest, we know it can be a little overwhelming!

That's why I wanted to take some time today to outline some of the best ways our publishers use Slickstream insights to grow their sites, and to show off some of the information you may not have realized was there. Let's dive in:

How can businesses use Slickstream to increase conversion and stop losing leads? To answer that question, let's turn to our friends at Cask, a technology consulting firm that integrates our search and engagement tools throughout their site.

Today we're happy to announce a significant upgrade to Slickstream's billing system, which should better address the needs of our users. Over the next 30 days, all of our existing customers will be migrated over to the new system, which is powered by the financial services company Stripe. This will increase the transparency and availability of users' invoices and billing history, and provide them with more control over their payment methods and preferences.

We've rolled out some new features to Slickstream this month, and one in particular is very exciting. Let's talk about Dynamic Content. 

Your site search matters. It's a critical part of the way your visitors interact with your site, and it's something we take extremely seriously at Slickstream.

And while we were proud of the Engagement Suite's existing responsive, as-you-type search, we also saw the potential to do so much more. So in our latest update, we're thrilled to announce a major overhaul of Slickstream Search, included free of charge for all subscribers!

This will be rolling out to customers on a staggered basis over the coming weeks, so read on for what to expect and let us know if you have any questions at all.

These days, everyone's talking about stories. Publishers are incorporating these vertical, social-style videos into their websites more and more, but are often struggling to know if they're on the right track. And with the technology and landscape evolving so fast, it can be very difficult to keep up. 

If you're a food blogger using WP Tasty as your recipe plugin, we have great news for you: you now have the option of integrating your Slickstream Favorites directly into your Tasty Recipes recipe card.
