Biggest opportunity: Swap “seo” for “insert link”. “seo” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “insert link” sits at #7 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 →4.3%
of downloads still active
At least 10K of 230.9K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median SEO plugin keeps 1.2%, across 1,198 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other SEO 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.

What to do about it
- Swap “seo” for “insert link”. “seo” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “insert link” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

After the updated rel for “sponsored” links the box with ‘link to exited content’ i pushed behind another box. It seems they forgot to add some height-pixels. This topic was modified 6 years, 5 months ago by davian007.

thank you so much for the plugin
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Jonathan7.3y ago
The concept looked great, reviews were pretty decent and of course it has never been tested on my version of WordPress. So took the gamble and installed it as I just needed something to add a TITLE to my links. Well didn’t work; nothing to drag and drop, link didn’t have any add on’s, and well other than taking space… it does nothing. I am chalking it up to not compatible with my version.
