I’ve now developed two WordPress plugins and would like to see some sites that use it. I’m looking for a way to find sites that use a WordPress plugin I built.
However, the official guidelines, don’t allow me to log the hostnames of blogs that install my plugin, for example. Point 7:
No “phoning home” without user’s informed consent.
So, are there ways to find sites using my plugins? The plugins I’m talking about are NaNo Stats and Snake.
I have thought about adding some HTML comments or a specific meta-tag to the HTML body of the site and then searching with Google. Would that work and be allowed by WordPress?
