Append Link on Copy

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.

   I believe this is the only or the best plugin that does the job right. Adding your post link in a copied text is the best method to get an easy back link to increased your domain authority (in SEO) without corrupt text or prevent others from spreading your blog content.

   Скопированный текст теряет всякое форматирование. Абзацы надо было бы оставить. Пришлось отказаться от него. This topic was modified 7 years, 11 months ago by Andrew P. Popov.

   Need fix: Text line-breaks seem to be left out after copying, meaning that if multiple paragraphs are copied, then when pasted they combine into one. Functions: – If you could put the text “Read more at…” in the MIDDLE of the copied text. Because sometimes user wants to “trick” copiers into broadcasting a link to their website – without having they be aware of it. – Also when the text is copied, text selection highlight disappears. This does not happen normally, thus can hint the copiers of something being processed upon copying – they might know we’re doing something in background everytime they copy, and we might want them not to.

   Doesn’t currently work if pasting from IE or Opera, but this is probably not too important: Most intelligent blog owners will not be using IE anyway, and most have not yet realized how good Opera is. I don’t currently use pagination, so cannot say if this plugin messes with that or not.
