Affiliate Link Cloaker

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

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

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.

   This plugin works as described. I really like the fact you can define keywords for links that display in your Post and Pages. This feature alone saves a lot of time for maintaining affiliate links. You only need to change the link code in one place and not go to every page within your site. I would like the ability to use (!, ., * etc )as part of the keyword for linking.

   As long as you are trying to cloak your own links, it seems to work fine. For some affiliate links it caused an error page declaring the link invalid. This is a shame and so it is great:)
