Professional Social Sharing Buttons, Icons & Related Posts – Shareaholic

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 · 81% 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.

   I’m grateful for its functionality. I do not have to monitor it or update it. It “just works” — swimmingly, I might add.

   I am unaware of how Shareaholic is benefitting me or my site; the plugin probably came with the hosting setup. I am posting a five-star review on the basis of the insistent nag message which pops up whenever I do anything on the admin end. I hope that posting it will somehow stop that nag message. I’m sure the plugin is great!
