I’d like to provide a little clarity and rational on some of the items you mentioned, and also and give you and your readers an idea of what is on the road map as far as improvements.

Alerts Expire :
Although alerts currently expire after 60 days, it is simple to extend the alert in the same manner as the confirmation email verification with just one click. The alerts expire because we need to pay close attention to storage and processing cost as it is one of our higher expenses. The idea is that a simple confirmation that the alert is still being used will help to optimize our storage requirements and allow us to continue to offer the service free of charge.

The Plugin :
The plugin was developed to allow a WordPress user to signup for an alert with one click. This is more convinient having to navigate to the Copy Alerts site to enter a list of URLs. With that said, we reserve the right to add embedded notifications and copy reports in the future

Lack of Options :
We are working on some improvements in this area so please stay tuned.

Thanks so much for writing about us again and providing an in depth look of our new Copy Alerts service. We have had a very positive response in sign-ups so far and are making preparations as we expect the trend to continue.
