Biggest opportunity: Swap “affiliate marketing”, “affiliate links” and “affiliate” for “comparison tables”, “boxes” and “comparison”. “affiliate marketing” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #18. “comparison tables” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “affiliate links” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #17. “boxes” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “affiliate” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #16. “comparison” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →1.6%
of downloads still active
At least 9K of 559.5K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Email & Marketing plugin keeps 0.9%, across 1,295 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Email & Marketing plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 40 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

What to do about it
- Swap “affiliate marketing”, “affiliate links” and “affiliate” for “comparison tables”, “boxes” and “comparison”. “affiliate marketing” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #18. “comparison tables” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “affiliate links” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #17. “boxes” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “affiliate” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #16. “comparison” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “affiliate”. #16 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

The plugin is very well developed, works great for our needs and the support is awesome. They reply quickly, listen to our feedback and don’t waste any time implementing improvements. Keep it up!

Really like the new eBay integration and analytics features in AffiliateX. Makes tracking performance much easier. Support is also super fast and helpful whenever I needed something. A solid plugin!

i’ve had a great experience with this plugin, highly recommend it!!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ umtiti710mo ago
I tried a few different affiliate plugins before, but most of them were very limited when it came to styling. I use AffiliateX mainly with Elementor and haven’t had any issues. Amazon products are linked directly, so when details change on Amazon, they are reflected automatically based on the update schedule you set. The styling options give a lot more control, which makes it easier to match the blocks with the site’s design.

I used the free version for a long time and it already worked well for building product blocks. I upgraded during the Black Friday sale to use the dynamic block, and it really changed the workflow. You set it up once for a post and it handles the rest automatically. It saves a lot of time and keeps everything consistent.

Very nice templates. But here is no mechanism to import Amz products in free version. You have to enter all data, pics, buttons, links manually into a Block; just like you would have to in WooCommerce or any other ecommerce plugin. Who knows where the data is stored. Moreover, when visiting website you have to put up with incessant popup notifications telling you who just purchased a pro version — every second all day — until you click on X. But different ones start popping up. annoying when searching docs [Background: I’ve been using the same API plugin for a few years. I’m redesigning my site and moving from wpbakery to Gutenberg and current plugin is shortcode based. I thought this might be a good alternative. This one is still a candidate — hello Black Friday?] This topic was modified 9 months, 1 week ago by Dean. This topic was modified 9 months, 1 week ago by Dean.

What I like most about AffiliateX is how many styling options it gives, from colors and fonts to spacing, even different settings for mobile and desktop. It makes it easy to get the design just right without extra CSS. Solid 5 stars from me.
