Update activity

How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.

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

Estimated value

What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.

Est. annual revenue

N/A

Est. acquisition value

N/A

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.

Positive Praise

Both reviewers call it a real time saver for managing Amazon affiliate links, with the dashboard and broken-link detection getting the praise, though one notes you need a free AMZ Watcher account first.

    If you manage Amazon affiliate links in any volume, this plugin will save you or your VA a ton of time! Comes with a quick & easy dashboard that shows all your Amazon links (based on your AMZ Watcher account limits), product status (in stock / out of stock), product rating and number of reviews (very helpful for round-up reviews), your affiliate ID, and number of referring pages with the product. A report is added to each the Post editor as well to remind you if any products are unavailable or if affiliate ID tags are missing. Overall, it’s a must have for new or existing Amazon affiliates – the visual dashboard makes it easy to spot any issues with your links, so you don’t miss out on any commission opportunities. If you have broken/error links, I recommend replacing them with a plugin like Better Search Replace.
