Was great before – now it’s bloated with ads

  • Let’s set something straight. At its essence, this plugin is a simple shortcut to Google Analytics, so you don’t have to open another tab to view your stats. That’s all it does.

    Yet, it’s loaded to the brim with ads, which gets increasingly worse with every passing update. I understand you’ll want to monetize your work at one point, but this is way over the top.

    The only reason I’m giving it 2 stars instead of the well deserved 1 star is because the UI is well designed, and nice to look at, and the plugin itself is well put together on a technical level.

    Hi @johnweisz,

    Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. I’m really sorry about the frustration here.

    If you would like, you can turn on the option Hide Announcements found in ExactMetrics ? Settings ? Advanced ? Miscellaneous. Turning on this option doesn’t hide everything but it will hide plugin announcements and update details.

    I’m sorry about the notifications. It’s not our intent to cause clutter. We try to provide as much value as possible to our users by communicating the Pro version features because a lot of users aren’t aware of them and can benefit greatly.

    That being said, with our Lite (free) version, you’re able to track and view critical site statistics (such as page views in the last 30 days, top posts and pages, etc) and automatically track custom events such as telephone and email click tracking, affiliate and outbound link tracking.

    We’ve worked hard to put together the best, most reliable, and best supported product for our users, and now that you’ve updated I hope you might give our plugin a shot.

    We really appreciate you for giving us a try and if you have any suggestions for the things you’d like to see in the Lite version, please let me know and I’d be happy to share your feedback with the team.

    And if you’d like more help with using ExactMetrics Lite, please feel welcome to reach us at https://www.exactmetrics.com/lite-support/

    Thank you.
