Removed from WordPress.org

Biggest opportunity: “alert email”, “back in stock” and “out of stock” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

How it's measured →0.1%
of downloads still active
At least 10 of 7K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Email & Marketing plugin keeps 0.9%, across 1,294 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Email & Marketing 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 1 release 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.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| alert email your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| back in stock your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| out of stock your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| stock alert your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| waitlist your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

I bought their plugin for work, and their plugin crashed my website and they didn’t even give a refund. Very bad!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ tundeaj4.6y ago
The plugin has irresistible extra features that sets it apart from its competitors. The support team is awesome and very responsive, …going extra-mile to resolve issues. I would recommend it cos I reviewed several others plugins and couldn’t find a perfect alternative. Innovative product overall. This topic was modified 4 years, 3 months ago by tundeaj.
