Internal Links Manager

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. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

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 declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

   It’s a good plugin if you only work with Gutenberg. But if you use the bricksbuilder it does not work on sites and templates built with it. In custom post types it does also not work, if the template is built with bricksbuilder.

   Shout out to the guys supporting the plugin. After reaching out they were able to quickly resolve my issue by pointing out the formatting issue of my CSV import file (I used a comma delimiter instead of a semicolon) Their adapted version worked right away. These small things do matter a lot. 5 stars from me. This topic was modified 2 years, 7 months ago by sociallyfamous.
