Biggest opportunity: Swap “seo” and “geo” for “geo seo” and “building”. “seo” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “geo seo” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “geo” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #18. “building” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

1.0%

of downloads still active

At least 800 of 81.4K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median SEO plugin keeps 1.2%, across 1,193 plugins.

Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other SEO 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 1 release 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.

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.

56 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 13 listed. 43 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 1 of its tags isn't in the top 24 for their own search.

What to do about it

Swap “seo” and “geo” for “geo seo” and “building”. “seo” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “geo seo” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “geo” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #18. “building” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

I’ve been using the Martins Free And Easy SEO Backlink Link Building Network for a few months now, and while it did help increase my website’s rankings and traffic initially, I’ve noticed some concerning issues. When you pay for the monthly link service, you see a noticeable improvement in your backlink profile and rankings. The links grow on Ahrefs, and your website’s Ahrefs score starts to improve, which is encouraging. However, the moment you stop paying for the monthly subscription, things start to go downhill. The links that were added during your subscription begin to disappear, and your Ahrefs score drops significantly. This is very frustrating because it makes it clear that the links are not permanent and are only active as long as you continue paying. Essentially, the links seem to be rented rather than earned. I understand that ongoing link-building can require investment, but this model feels a bit misleading. It’s disappointing to see your hard-earned progress vanish as soon as you stop paying. I would recommend being cautious if you’re considering using this service long-term, especially if you’re looking for more sustainable, lasting SEO results.

I first installed the plugin, I saw drop in rankings but upon keep active for a long, lots of backlinks were created. Now, I see few pages ranking up to second or third page. While my ranking previously started from 7th page. So, it is far better than nothing!
