NoFollowr

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 · 90% 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.

   I’ve used this on a (slightly out of date) blog for a long time, and was a bit nervous reading comments about compatibility issues with new version of WP. However, I’m happy to report it still works flawlessly with WP 4.5.3 – does exactly what it sets out to do, very happy with it.

   Just realized that this plugin seems to have stopped working but not sure when. Must have been a couple of wp versions back as some links work but most dont and these are all on old posts

   Thanks for the plugin, it works great. The only thing is that I wish I would be able to control it through the admin itself while creating the post! I need to remember to go to the site (logged in) and apply it to each link individually, it’s not perfect.

   Very convenient to avoid missing out on links you want to put in nofollow. Enables quick toggle on the front-end. Great in combination with NoFollow Reciprocity (manual download only) to do some dofollow militancy against big players such as Amazon, the Wikipedia, etc
