SALERT – Fake Sales Notification WooCommerce

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 · 46% 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.

   For a fake sales plugin it’s not very believable when the same names from the same country keep popping up in a row. Needs to have a more extensive list of names from different countries. If you’re going to keep displaying John from USA maybe add John B., John A., John M. and so on.

   Some time ago the plugin was perfect, but with the current versions what happens to me when trying to configure it is: “There has been a critical error on this website. Please check your site administrator’s email inbox for instructions.” I don’t know if it will be a particular or general problem, but with the latest versions of WordPress, Woocommerce and Elementor this plugin does not work.

   I put in about 20 fake pop up products, but after about 2 days they all disappeared (vanished) from the display settings admin. Seems like this is normal by design to strip out the data in the free version after about 2 days rendering the plugin NOT WORKING, this seems to be quite a deceptive practice. Why not tell people this upfront? seems like from the lack of any reply you do not want to discuss this. This topic was modified 3 years, 9 months ago by fatfrog.

   Wonderful, I have to thank the plugin support that was able to solve a ccs problem that my wordpress had and now it is working. I definitely recommend this plugin and I will not hesitate to buy the premium version.

   Showing the product “purchased” requires the premium version. Not worth install and set up it.
