MailChimp Subscriber Chiclet

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

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   I have several times made attempts to get help in the support forum without any answers. I installed the plugin and the install went smooth, until I looking in the plugin directory where it stated that it was not activated. Well I did that already during install. Tried clicking the ‘activate’ in the plugins directory on dash, no luck. I really want to try this plugin, but for some reason its just not working. I have tried to contact then owner /producer, but no luck there either. Not sure why this is happening. I give this plugin a 1 mainly because the support is basically not there. Frustrating. Other plugins have responses hours after question is asked.

   Needs a built-in “no style” option. But other than that, it works great! Now that mailchimp killed off their script that let you pull this directly, this is a nice and easy substitute.

   Why is it not styled with CSS? The plugin use a background PNG image with a huge (!) font, seriously? No settings available, to adapt it to the own blog style – bad! (http://screencloud.net/v/7HML)

   This is good for folks who just want to display the amount of subscribers they have, but I feel the plugin should display in CSS rather than a background image. Currently, it has a background image that displays the button and message, “powered by Mailchimp.” I would wish that this would be in CSS, so that we could better style the elements the way we want. But overall, it’s a good plugin that works perfectly.
