Post Views Stats Counter

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.

   Hi, Kazuki, I love your simple, yet powerful plugin “Post Views stats counter”. Could it be possible to add an option, a script, whatever, to “import” the historical stats of “WP Statistics”, another well known wordpress statistic plugin ? I think you know it 😉 . It seems (after some looking) that the datas registered with WPstats is really close to what you store in your db table. In fact, this old plugin has recently been partially broken for some bloggers, dunno why 🙁 … fatal errors trying to upgrade from v12 to v13. So,I do not want to use it anymore. Moreover, I’m searching for a remplacement, and your plugin is really the ideal move for me : simple, speedy, sufficient for my needs ! This topic was modified 5 years, 4 months ago by vblogio.

   Pros: 1. Effective 2. Simple, not bloated with complex settings Con: 1. Outdated interface aesthetics My suggestion to the plugin author: Add the following TAGS to the plugin’s page on wordpress.org because people also search for these: 1. popular posts 2. popular posts widget Thanks for this plugin! 🙂

   Tested the popular “WordPress Popular Posts” with 300K installs. Was turned off by it’s excess settings, and the fact it counts a page refresh as 2, instead of 1. In overall decided to adopt this little trustworthy plugin. It’s reporting also records “Events Pro” pages. Gives you a simple easy-to-read table of stats. Excellent.
