Subscriber Magnet Plug-In Warning

Just a heads-up.

I installed Maxblogpress's "Subscriber Magnet" plugin on about 40 sites, and a month later I checked the indexed pages of the sites in Google and found that Google had indexed about 150 extraneous pages from inside the Subscriber Magnet plug-in folder.

This can't be good for my site's rankings!

These are wordpress sites so I added the following to my robots.txt:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /wp-content/

If you use this plug-in I suggest you do the same.

P.S. - Aside from this problem It's a very cool plug-in.

    Good advice.

    I was wondering about that plugin. Has it improved your list building processes?

    @tpw - Yeah, I put the plugin on about 40-50 of my sites that were just sitting there collecting dust and it's bringing in about 15 new subscribers a day.

    It was really easy to set up as you can just save out your settings from one site, then quickly upload them to a new site.

    Elsewhere on this forum there is another thread for a WSO promoting the Digi List plugin.

    I didn't want to harsh the vibe on that thread, so I'll mention it here: Is MBP Subscriber Magnet the "other plugin" they keep mentioning.
    And, any idea what Digi List does that MBP supposedly doesn't do? I got MBP SM recently and am now having doubts :-(

      I am interested to know the answer to this as well. What can one do that the other CAN'T. Do you know?
