AdBlock X

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

Most reviewers are happy with how it works and what its stats show them, though one couldn't get registration to accept an unusual email TLD or link their site to the portal at all.

   Did not work one bit, the registration didn’t work with our email (ends in *.email), I don’t know how a developer didn’t add all TLD’s to it. So we made a temporary Gmail, which also didn’t register my site to the portal at all as it showed us as having nothing attached to the account. Don’t have time to waste on an Ad blocker that doesn’t work with our email system TLD, nor one that doesn’t even recognize our newly recognized server.

   ABX is a great tool. It has provided us with valuable insight into the number of ad blocker users coming to our sites. We’ve been impressed with the ability to easily review specific segments of users by parameters such as device type, time of day and geo. It has helped us better understand our user base and allowed us to optimize our traffic acquisition strategies.
