Biggest opportunity: “contact” and “popup” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

of downloads still active
At least 2K of 193.8K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Forms plugin keeps 1.3%, across 1,671 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Forms plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

How it's tracked →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.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| unblockable | #1 | #1 | 0 |
| contact your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| popup your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
3 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 1 listed. 2 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 2 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- “contact” and “popup” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.
- Already on top for “unblockable”. #1 without listing it. A tag would change little there; your slots are better spent on a search you don't yet win.

Tried all kinds of popup/Modal plugins. And I finally found you. Even seems to work with my own custom shortcodes from other plugins. I will donate as soon as I start earning but at least you have 5 for now thanks.

Was trying to get a simple popup and was using HTML: Example: Question Didn’t work on Android and wasn’t really very clean nor manageable. Anything Popup was really simple and configuration was a breeze. Frankly, other plugins were overly complex for what I wanted. This seems perfect. Thanks much This topic was modified 8 years, 11 months ago by desktopanywhere.

Most of the plugin works from the simple Management interface. But having problems with the Widget code.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Dinamicore10.0y ago
You install it, go to settings > Anything Popup > Add New, and get the configuration and setup page all together. They give you the familiar TinyMCE editor everyone knows, and you type text and insert media. Then, copy paste the shortcode, and works out of the box event with ADDBLOCKER PLUS on. What else can you ask for? This topic was modified 9 years, 9 months ago by Dinamicore.
