Biggest opportunity: Swap “ad manager”, “widgets” and “advertising” for “quick post”, “quick edit” and “quick”. “ad manager” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “quick post” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “widgets” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “quick edit” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “advertising” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #15. “quick” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →1.0%
of downloads still active
At least 20K of 2M lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,771 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.
This plugin shipped 4 releases 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.

What to do about it
- Swap “ad manager”, “widgets” and “advertising” for “quick post”, “quick edit” and “quick”. “ad manager” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “quick post” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “widgets” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “quick edit” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “advertising” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #15. “quick” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “advertising”. #15 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- One page off on “monetization”. #11 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Excellent plugin for adsense ads and other codes. I’ve been using it for a long time.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ eichlig5.7y ago
The very only reason I’m giving you 1 star is due to your absolutely trashy landing page. I really wanted to pay the premium — seriously, I’m grateful for how great your free version is — but your landing is so worthless that I can’t get the info I need. I’m sure many other people feel the same way; that page is harmful to your image. Do something about that.

Prosta wtyczka, bez nadmiaru opcji. Działa wszystko co powinno. Fajnie jak by była rozwijana do integracje z bbpress itp.

I saw some bashing of this plugin and figured I would give my 2 cents. I installed it and it worked GREAT! Then I decided to do some tweaking and I found a glitch. I reported it in the forum and I guess it was within 24hrs the BUG was fixed! Folks, don’t get you drawers in a pinch and fly off the handle when something immediately does not go your way. This is NOT a fast food joint, you always can’t have instant satisfaction and like Burger King says “have it your way” These people work hard to give a good product most of the time its FREE!
