Biggest opportunity: Swap “conversion” and “logs” for “conversion tracking” and “conversions”. “conversion” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “conversion tracking” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “logs” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “conversions” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →2.0%
of downloads still active
At least 300 of 15.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,787 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 5 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

I don’t know why google analytics, jetpack, or other plugins don’t have exact referrer links like this plugin does!

Very good Job! really very useful plugin. With this plugin, you can track site visits from ads campaigns or links that you can distribute in press releases and then see what the results were. Really fantastic also to monitor all domain referrers as well!I consider it a must have for any wordpress user. Job very well done!

I installed this plugin to help me track the links I add in my clients websites. But somehow it helps me track the bots :D, I figured that there is a pattern the bots follow before visiting my website, so I am now acting to blocking them.

Uninstalling.. this plugin was working really great but suddenly it stopped tracking its own refferal resources.. it’s tracking the old referral resources I created but any new referral is not working.. I wrote to the support forum and nobody replied.. bye

This is fantastic information to have. Simple and nice layout/design. Doesn’t catch every single referrer, but I think it’s because some people have cookies blocked or are in private browsing mode.

Great job with this superb plugin. Now I can track which woocommerce sales have been done by visitors coming from an external website.
