Biggest opportunity: “affiliate”, “amazon affiliate” and “associates” 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 200 of 7.7K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,778 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.
High removal-risk signals
63/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 6+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Compatibility drift. Tested only up to WordPress 5.3.27, well behind 7.1.

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.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ Alan Petersen5.6y ago
Perfect plugin to add the FTC and Amazon required disclosures on posts and pages! It’s basic and simple which is what makes this plugin so awesome. I looked at other plugins but they don’t work this easily (to add disclosure to all posts and pages by checking a box) and some of the other plugins don’t even generate FTC-compliant disclousres like this plugin. It’s 2021, and the plugin hasn’t been updated in awhile, so hopefully the developer updates it soon. It would be a shame for it to go MIA.

When I decide to enter any platform whether it is social media or eCommerce affiliate I make sure to be compliant. Why go thru the trouble of building then get banned. This plugin was simple to install and gave me a little more peace of mind. Glad they created it.
