Google Content Experiments

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank

wp.org popularity rank over time · lower is better

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

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.

   I tried it with a Genesis child theme – works well. My only problem was to find my way in google Experiments UI, which has nothing to do with the plugin 🙂

   I had to add “<?php do_action( ‘wpe_gce_head’ ); ?>” to my header.php for this to work on my theme. Almost thought it didn’t work…maybe this step should be placed at the top of the installation instructions instead of the bottom

   So easy! Just activate, and then the option for Google Experiments code appears on each page. So easy to get going. (As long as your theme is supported). Would ideally like the option of excluding WP administrators from being in the experiment. Because after I launch an experiment, if Google sends me to one of the variations, I can no longer view the original page! Even in WP preview mode. My work around is to temporarily untick the “Google Experiments original page” checkbox, view the page, and then turn the checkbox back on.

   Looks a promising plugin but didn’t work for me on WP 4.1.5.

   I was all ready to give this 1 star and say it was broken, until I saw one of the comments recommended to read the installation instructions! Once I read them and installed the 1 line of code into the header.php file, it worked perfectly! Very good.

   Doesn’t work as the code will not save when you attempt to add it to a page. There is no support for this plugin either…

   Great plugin. I was up and running in under 5 minutes. Make sure you read the installation text.
