of downloads still active
At least 80 of 70.2K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,186 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Admin & Utilities plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
Removal-risk signals
53/100Maintenance 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 5+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.7.21.

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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| techgasp your tag | #11 | #11 | down 1 |
| adsense your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| google your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| shortcode your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| widget your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
1 search this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- One page off on “techgasp”. #11 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- “adsense”, “google” and “shortcode” 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.

Thank You for this tool. Sorry, but i missing the Shortcode. The I will put manual into my site 🙁 now…;

Most of these functions here (which is mainly a widget) I could do that with the built in html widget.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Greg Herring10.4y ago
This offers no real benefit – You can get the same effect with a text box and/or built in widgets already present in your theme. All hype and no bite. Like a previous reviewer said : “…one big sales pitch…”. Just copy your Adsense code supplied by Google to a Text Widget instead. As far as the ‘Go Viral Google Plus’ widget….really?

So many problems with this plugin. Tried to rectify says I don’t have a login, even with PayPal receipt number. Filed a complaint still no refund. Steer clear. You will lose money…the cost of the app + revenue.

While the description was exactly what I needed in regards to creating adsense friendly shortcode, what I installed offered nothing but a simple sidebar widget. Something I already had. After weeding through their documentation, which is mostly written to sell, sell, sell other stuff, I learn that the free version is extremely limited. I understand they would like to make money but I hate deception overly aggressive sales pitches. Just give me the facts.

Good plugin… Author: Can you make it available to users with Contributor status as well? This would allow me to create a “revenue share” website for my multi-author blog. There are some plugins for this out there, but they suck because they only show an ad at the very top and another ad at the very bottom. Im looking for a plugin where both admins and contributors can also insert an ad in the middle (or wherever they want within a post). If you make this available I would be extremely grateful. I’d gladly write a fantastic review on this and be happy to send you a donation for your effort.

I installed this add-on to find out that it doesn’t offer absolutely anything, besides a useless widget. Seems like to even use this you need to pay, something that obviously, isn’t explicitly mentioned in the description.
