All-in-one-SEO Pack

I am fed up by all the updates of some of these Word­Press plug-ins! All a head of the race the All-in-one-SEO Pack.

Not long ago All-in-one-SEO was shout­ing how pop­u­lar the plug-in was with over 1 Mil­lion down­loads. Today the stats show over 1.8 Mil­lion Down­loads mak­ing it THE most pop­u­lar plug, namely if you con­sider recent weeks.

Pop­u­lar­ity has to do with per­cep­tion and often with tak­ing peo­ple for a ride. Many seri­ous blog­gers use All-in-one-SEO and fear that by not keep­ing up with the updates, their site will dis­ap­pear from the SE radars. This may be true, how­ever look­ing at some of the recent updates, they seem to serve only one pur­pose: win­ning the pop­u­lar­ity race by arti­fi­cially boost­ing down­load stats.

Blog­gers are not devel­op­ers and do not want to spend their time on tech­ni­cal issues, they are busy blog­ging. (Wow, this may be a major dis­cov­ery for some devel­op­ers, huh.)

When there is a Word­Press update or a new ver­sion, then plug-in devel­op­ers may need to adjust and that’s OK. As they are all smart and often self-declared gurus, they should be capa­ble to use their supe­rior skills to pro­vide a tested sta­ble prod­uct. Also, it would be help­ful to get a clear list of what has changed and a men­tion about the need for updat­ing. If the site con­tin­ues to behave well as before with­out an update, then that should be men­tioned in a user-friendly way, under­stand­able by us aver­age bloggers.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

Dear Plu­gin Developer,

we are fed up with the widely applied “Screw-the-Free-Plug-in-User-Community” busi­ness Model. I know, you put a lot of work and effort into your prod­uct and you are expect­ing a reward; glory does not feed your kids.

How­ever, I would pre­fer a clean ver­sion, even if I had to pay for it. A ver­sion with­out any irrel­e­vant hyper­links and dis­trac­tions, a ver­sion with­out import­ing your whole web site into my blog dash­board; I hate Alex King for that.

Sure you are learn­ing from the best, Matt himself.

But we also can learn from pay TV and allow peo­ple to get an ‘adver­tis­ing free’ ver­sion of media.

Think about it. (Thanks for click­ing on my Donate But­ton if this helps you mak­ing more money with your Plug-in).

In the mean time I will con­tinue to clean your scripts before using them and I rec­om­mend all users to do the same.

Sin­cerely,

Yorgo
