Update activity

How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price.

    導入してみたところ、簡単で使いやすいからかなりおすすめですねコレ。クリックされている場所(よく読まれている場所)が可視化されるので、アフィリエイトリンクを設置する際に便利。基本的にはやはり目次上がクリック率高いですね。

    I tried to buy the premium version but they won’t sell it. Uninstalled and trying one that works.

    サイトを訪問したユーザーがどこをクリックしたか視覚的にとても分かりやすく確認できます。 そこから、ボタン設置などの誘導のための施策を練っています。オススメのプラグインです。

    This software makes it possible to visualize the position on the home page as if it was a thermography. In other words, it is possible to easily improve the content by analyzing the attention point of the page or the position where the response is light. I am glad that the paid version can be used at a cost about 1/5 of similar software. Of course, the free version can be used well, but if you want to know the rank of the popular page in the whole page, there is no doubt that using the paid version will improve your work efficiency.

    I’ve been using the free version of “Aurora Heatmap” since it’s released. Unbelievably easy heatmap tool for both desktop and mobile sites. If you would like to improve your cv, this is the plugin you need to install first. I can’t believe the plugin is free for the heatmap function and thinking to pay for adding additional features like drop off point or page completion ratio.
