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.

Estimated value

What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.

Est. annual revenue

N/A

Est. acquisition value

N/A

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. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

    Most of these functions here (which is mainly a widget) I could do that with the built in html widget.

    This offers no real benefit – You can get the same effect with a text box and/or built in widgets already present in your theme. All hype and no bite. Like a previous reviewer said : “…one big sales pitch…”. Just copy your Adsense code supplied by Google to a Text Widget instead. As far as the ‘Go Viral Google Plus’ widget….really?

    So many problems with this plugin. Tried to rectify says I don’t have a login, even with PayPal receipt number. Filed a complaint still no refund. Steer clear. You will lose money…the cost of the app + revenue.

    While the description was exactly what I needed in regards to creating adsense friendly shortcode, what I installed offered nothing but a simple sidebar widget. Something I already had. After weeding through their documentation, which is mostly written to sell, sell, sell other stuff, I learn that the free version is extremely limited. I understand they would like to make money but I hate deception overly aggressive sales pitches. Just give me the facts.

    Good plugin… Author: Can you make it available to users with Contributor status as well? This would allow me to create a “revenue share” website for my multi-author blog. There are some plugins for this out there, but they suck because they only show an ad at the very top and another ad at the very bottom. Im looking for a plugin where both admins and contributors can also insert an ad in the middle (or wherever they want within a post). If you make this available I would be extremely grateful. I’d gladly write a fantastic review on this and be happy to send you a donation for your effort.

    I installed this add-on to find out that it doesn’t offer absolutely anything, besides a useless widget. Seems like to even use this you need to pay, something that obviously, isn’t explicitly mentioned in the description.
