SEO Friendly Images

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

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 94% 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.

   This plugin totally removed and erased all advertising and links. I had to start all over again and download all new advertising banners and affiliate links. Do not use this with a new version of WordPress unless it has been used with success on your website theme! Please make sure it is 100% tested on your theme, Otherwise you could run into the same problems I have.

   Please remove the full Bootstrap css file and use just the styles you need for your plugin. The BS file changes the whole admin experience.
