<p>Swift Post is a lightning fast plugin backed by a powerful ad server, making it so you can take any standard post in your feed and set dynamic controls on how it behaves. No added stress and no latency issues to your website. Plus, you’ll now have sophisticated third-party reporting and analytics that helps you make decisions you need to with new and stronger confidence.</p>
<p>For example, do you have a high preforming post you would like to show again? Push the button and it’s back on the top of the feed for however many impressions you would like. If you have the same people visiting your site many times a day, simply set frequency capping which will limit how many times any given user will see that post. You can even set run dates, geotargeting, and a cap on the total impressions that post will serve for. It’s still there, it just behaves however you want because now you have more control.</p>
<p>With Swift Post you can turn any post into sponsored, targeted advertising capable of displaying at the top of your post list on command. In fact, it gives you the ability to display where ever you wish with the use of a convenient shortcode. Swift Post is much more than just a sticky post, a Swift Post is:</p>
