PG Simple Affiliate Shop

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 · 100% 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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   Initially had some problems in that database entries were not being picked up by search engine that were designed to do that very thing. Working with Brian at PG, he modified his code so that the default WP search would work. No other developer has given me this kind of attention. Thank you!

   This affiliate link shop plugin is the best I’ve used. The last one I tried didn’t have product re-ordering or anchor link features. I need the dedicated anchor links to use in marketing emails, and the shortcodes work really well with the Advanced Gutenberg tab feature. I had a small problem with how the anchor links displayed at first, but Brian was extremely helpful in resolving the issue and now everything works perfectly! Thanks to this plugin my shop page looks clean. Thank you, Brian!

   I wanted to build a site that wasn’t an official e-commerce store, so I began my search, this morning and found this plug-in. It’s perfect. You simply write your post and insert the item from your shop inventory (basically an affiliate linked product to Ebay in this case). So happy! Thank you for creating it, it’s PERFECT!

   PG Simple Affiliate Shop is a great, very simple plugin that works…and works well. Getting your store up and running is the number #1 most important thing to a marketer. Everyone wants to get their stores up and running as quickly and efficiently as possible. So stop wasting time reviewing those paid sites…this plugin works better than all of them…and it’s free! This is truly a “no brainer”! AND, they have great support too! 😉 Loading your products into your store is a little tedious, but you only have to do it once and you’re done. Using the “category” type or product types available eliminates the need to ever have to load a product more than once. You can filter your products any way you’d like, so it’s even “better” than the paid subscriptions out there! A truly great plugin that deserves a 5 star rating no matter how you look at it! Thanks and I will be making a donation…as should everyone else that uses it. I wish all WordPress plugins worked this well…:)

   I created a directory of affiliates by creating a heirarchy of categories with this plugin. Each category displays on its own page including a “Specials” category for sale offers. The pagination works great and each category is alphabetized. The easy to setup, easy to use PG Simple Affiliate Shop plugin makes it possible! I use it together with the Affiliate Links Manager to mask the links, and the WordPress Download Monitor. See it all here: YourRestaurantStartUp.com. Great plugin!
