Affiliate Super Assistent

Reviewers who get it working call it simple and flexible for Amazon affiliate boxes, while others hit API errors, blank templates and slower pages.

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

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

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.

88 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 12 listed. 76 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

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 · 48% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

   Thank you SO SO MUCH for creating this masterpiece of a plugin. After Amazon took images out of sitestripe I basically had given up thinking I could get images back and I’ve left all of my pages with the ugly funky code reminants that the sitestripe images left. You have given me a renewed hope to clean up the site – this plugin works beautifully and is so simple and easy – EXACTLY what I was looking for. Cannot thank you enough – even though I don’t need the V2 I may buy it to give you money to support this plugin.

   Easy to use and I like the design of the horizontal box. Just need to insert the shortcode with your desired ASIN product number.

   Error 429 Too many requests After installing the plugin and generating the API on the Amazon website and inputting the correct info but the Plugin and the Amazon API Scratpad give the error: Error 429So far, I haven’t been able to make any successful requests. They always return the same error message: Error 429 – Too many requests.I sent a message to the HELP center at Amazon. Still, I’m doubtful they will remedy the problem judging by all of the other people having the same issues and nothing actually mentioned about a fix at all.Amazon’s excuse was that I didn’t have 3 sales which is BS because I have over 100 in the past two months. So Amazon is being a dick with Their API which I found out wasn’t an uncommon issue from a lot of Amazon Associates out there dealing with API problems. Before getting this plugin, I recommend that you test the API on the Amazon Scratchpad first. If you get errors there, this plugin will not work.I’ve stopped ripping my hair out dealing with Amazon Support and moved on to another ‘Working’ plugin with no API needed.Pissed off because I really wanted to use this one too.

   I’ve been wasting my time trying to get this to work. Their collections only ever show some of the products set up, never all of them, and different ones with each page load, like some kind of lottery. Sadly there is no info in the debug.log as to why some products are missing. One would think that it might be something with the amazon API, but the caching function of this plugin should solve that. It doesn’t. I liked the simplicity behind this plugin, but if it just flat out doesn’t work, there’s no point to it.

   This plugin work well with a small amounts of products added only. When I add over 5 ones, my website’s bounce rate increase and then rank and sale down. I spent more time to find out the cause. I also thought it is the best plugin before, however, I limit to use it now. It has too many features that I don’t need so it make increasing page load times. I think if the plugin have some update on this problems, it is the best one.

   It’s a really good plugin, light but powerful and very flexible. You can create all templates you want. Good work devs, continue to update it!
