Who clicks the Donate link? Nobody.

Wednesday, April 27th, 2011

The last release of Stop Spammers was released Monday. After a day and a half it was downloaded about 400 times. The donate link sends the user to Amazon where I can see the number of clicks. The Amazon stats are delayed a day or so.

I carefully wrote, what I thought, was an earnest appeal to buy my book with the link. I politely allowed users to turn off the appeal once they had read it.

So how many clicks did I get from the 400 or so downloads?

Zero!

I expect it will be downloaded about 5,000 times in the next couple of weeks, but I don’t expect any significant clicks on the Amazon link.

There will be no more updates to any of my plugins. As much as I enjoy programming, I can’t keep fooling myself that there is a future in writing WordPress plugins.

That’s all folks.
