Pick Giveaway Winner

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.

   Thanks a lot for this plugin. It’s a must have to made a nice random draw. Easy to setup, it can’t be easier to use. I agree with Makeworthy Media, this plugin deserves a lot more reviews. So, a trick that could be interesting to set up is to see the scrolling of names. This way, we could record a video of the draw to allow those who commented to see how the draw unfolded. But hey, that’s just a suggestion! Thanks again! This topic was modified 4 years, 2 months ago by Jakours2.

   I don’t know why this plugin is not having more reviews. It does exactly what I was looking for. I need to draw users who commented on a specific blog post as a winner. You can even say how many comments should be drawn as a winner, I thought I need to run the draw three times, but I was more than happy to see that you can even select multiple winners. Beyond that the plugin lets you decide how to treat duplicate entries, from a ban of the user, to just ignore more than one entry up to allow all entries done. Excellent – nothing more I wanted or need. However, I fear that it will disappear from the repository as it received its last update three years ago!? What a pity that would be. The 1 star rating is absolutely unfair and should be deleted or ignored!!! This topic was modified 5 years, 1 month ago by YogieAnamCara.

   Full disclosure: I am the plugin author. Someone just left a 1-star review because they misunderstood what the plugin is supposed to do. I thought I’d help balance out the average by leaving my own review. Just to be clear, this plugin randomly selects a comment from a post. It only works if you’re logged into WordPress and go to Tools -> Pick Giveaway Winner. It does not insert anything into a post/page. It does not let you ask your visitors a question. I’m leaving a 5-star review because the plugin does what it says it does.

   No details on how to insert it into a post/page and no way to change/customise the question you want to ask.
