Unmasking Free Premium WordPress Pluginshttps://xxxxsblog.sucuri.net/2014/03/unmasking-free-premium-wordpress-plugins.htmlWordPress has a large repository of free plugins (currently 30,000+) that can add almost any functionality to your blog. However, there is still a market for premium plugins. Premium plugins are especially popular when they help blogs make money: eCommerce, SEO, affiliate and customer management, and so on.

Such plugins may be really great and well worth their price, but not many webmasters are ready to pay for plugins, especially when they can find “free” or “nulled” versions of the same plugins on the Internet. All they need to do is search Google for [<plugin-name> free download].

Getting something valuable for free may sound great, however, in most cases, you won’t get what you expect.
