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 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.

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.

   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!
