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 · 63% 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.

   does what it says it does, my only complaint would be: it doesn’t render embedded youtube urls as I’d like. otherwise I’d give it 5 stars.

   I find this plugin so useful. I use it on my website to show different banners every time someone visits the page, and it has been working perfectly for years! I’m very happy. One of the best and easiest-to-use plugins!

   I’m using it to display ads for one of my website’s store, on one of my related blogs. It proved to be perfect for dropping in the sidebar, wrapping in some HTML & CSS, then having very simple link and image tag in the custom post. Perfect and thanks!

   It does exactly what it says. I haven’t encountered any bugs at the moment in WordPress 5.8.1. But please update this great plugin. We are concerned about version incompatible plugins. Thanks.
