Social Share Buttons & Analytics Plugin – GetSocial.io

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

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

0 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

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 · 54% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 10 months ago; a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, which places it about 50% of the way through.

15 of the last 24 four- and five-star reviews came from accounts created within a month of posting the review.

Registering a wp.org account just to leave a review is common and often entirely legitimate. The share here is unusually high for the sample, so it's worth keeping in mind while reading the reviews.

   Неплохой плагин по описанию. Поюзать не удалось. Цена довольно борзенькая для этого, исходя из того, что это не покупка а аренда. Другие варики есть.

   I was considering using this plugin, testing it ou but needed to deactivate it and several others for a performance test. What I found is troubling…I cannot deactivate this plugin which means now I cant even uninstall it.

   Just received my first weekly performance report for my website from GetSocial. It is gorgeous! I even don’t have to sign into the app or wordpress, to have an overview about all the visits, shares and referrals across the different channels including dark social in a very neat design, including an overview about my most shared pages, channels and locations. The analytics within the panel are even more granular. Furthermore they offer a report builder, where I can set up the emailing of my custom recurring or one time reports as pdf or ppt. I love it! The social share widgets are top notch! I could align their design easily and optimally to my overall website design. Till now I haven’t dug into Viral Alerts, Facebook Automation and Link Shortener. I’m stoked to do this pretty soon. But I surely don’t need to this, to give the tool and the team behind it well deserved 5 stars. Why the team? I had experienced two issues with the appearances of the widgets. The first has been a bit of further customization of the design, which they could solve right away. And the second: Every time I’ve opened my menu on mobile a mysterious bar or line appeared depending on the browser. They got back to me within 24 hours and had resolved it within a few days by modifying their code. It’s by fare the best website social sharing tool I’ve experienced. All the wordpress plugins I’ve tried before are a joke compared with this. The best is, it isn’t restricted to wordpress. I can utilize it also on every other website where I can add some lines of code. Every marketer or business owner which takes his website/blog shares and referrals seriously should invest in this!
