It’s a cheat and unfair! So don’t try this at home, or anywhere…
To bump your downloads and possibly the rating too… Just increase the version number every week or so with the message “improves stability and minor bug fixes” or whatever. Something cryptic about what you didn’t do or just anything that justifies the “new” version.
People will believe you because they don’t know any better or it’s true. And thus download the plugin again. This in turn bumps up the download count and thus the popularity of the plugin raises. Making you rank higher and be listen more prominently.
Huzzah!
(No, i didn’t do it!)
