Auto YouTube Importer

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.

14 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 4 listed. 10 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 5 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

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 · 89% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band 10 months ago; a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, which places it about 50% of the way through.

   The plugin was great for my needs at first, but about a week ago it started publishing content on its own that isn’t mine, and that I definitely don’t want on my website at all. I removed the plugin quite quickly and found an alternative.

   This is a simple plugin that gives us exactly what we wanted. It’s easy to setup and use. It saves extra steps by posting our YouTube videos to our website automatically. Works just as stated.

   Easy to just sync videos in bulk, really love the flexibility and the automated import that runs in the background and gets my new videos on the site

   Ok, originally wasn’t working in trial mode but I got it working now so revising my review. Looks pretty good, I assume I can import the video description & tags with the Pro Version? Would be a great feature for SEO. This topic was modified 3 years, 5 months ago by Yui. This topic was modified 3 years ago by themusicinyourhead.

   Simple, beautiful, just works. The only thing I’d like to be added would be some function to exclude imports by YouTube tag or category.

   I’ve been looking for a plugin like this for years! Not only did it work perfectly on the free version, but I upgraded to the pro version so that I could import the feature images and it grabbed years of YouTube videos and perfectly published them into my blog. In all, what I thought would take me days, and maybe even a need of hiring an intern to help, took $19 bucks and less than 30 mins. All day long 5 stars! And Go Pro!
