Biggest opportunity: Swap “marketing attribution” for “tracker”. “marketing attribution” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #14. “tracker” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 400 of 2.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Analytics plugin keeps 1.2%, across 1,011 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Analytics 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 2 releases 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.

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.

What to do about it
- Swap “marketing attribution” for “tracker”. “marketing attribution” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #14. “tracker” sits at #9 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “marketing attribution”. #14 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Finally! This plugin solved my tracking issues instantly. It works very well and captures all the essential data (source, medium, campaign, etc.) perfectly. Highly recommended for anyone running ads or tracking ROI on their WordPress site.

UTM Tracker for Contact Form 7 does exactly what it promises: preserves UTM parameters through redirects and stores them with Contact Form 7 submissions. Setup took less than a minute and it’s extremely lightweight — no performance hit on our site. We’ve already recovered missing campaign data and improved our attribution. Great plugin from a focused developer. Thanks!
