The dashboard should be reserved for really important details about the website running wordpress - stats, alerts, (spam/comment) notifications, ... If I want to read blogs, I add their feeds in my rss reader application. The wordpress dashboard is not supposed to be a feed aggregator.

I can really understand your clients, but I can also understand it from a WordPress Plugin developers point-of-view. The best approach as I can see is the one which I follow along with WP-SpamFree and many others: To have a branding possibility on every blog that has the plugin installed, but leave it up to the admin of the blog to leave it on or turn it off. I have added my Dashboard Widget to the plugin as well, I admit, but I believe it to be relevant and interesting to anyone who choose to install a plugin of mine. They are by definition interested in getting to know more about new releases or new plugins. Thank you for stopping by, and thank you for using the plugin, I hope you will be happy for the new version and the upcoming plugins planned :-) Hola Boldjonny

Even though, I try to explain why this is and that the plugins are free, they still can't justify it. My suggestion would be to give some flexibility for users to control the "in-the-face" ads. Make it more subtle, perhaps in the form of logos and signatures that visibly occupy a corner, but not too flagrant. A few clients had me disable the Admin plugins. However, I think you guys are doing a great job! Hi,

I am tweaking a new version of SEO Booster Lite, and I have made the initial steps towards Seo Booster Pro, which I will make available for a very low price. Hi, I’m glad you like it.
