Sovrn

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 · 100% 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. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   Don’t install. First, it slowed my site down. Then, I deleted the plugin but some of my links are still being redirected to redirect.viglink.com. I went into my account and tried to delete my account, but I don’t see an option to do so.  I’ve been told by my hosting site it affected my website by installing malware:  e.neac.com stags.blueaki.com pixel.rubiconproject.com rtv.openx.net z.moatads.com px.moatads.com When I emailed Viglink they told me the coding was still in there and I’d have to remove it. What?? I’ve added/removed so many plugins and never once had that happen!  The fact this plugin leaves this on your site, and how you can’t delete your account, I wish I could give negative stars! Now, I have to pay someone to remove all this s**t since I know nothing about coding.

   you have not updated this plugin in one year. I signed up to use merchants and can’t place links until I know this plugin is maintained and will be updated? What are the plans?

   Settings are not available whether network activated or activated on a per-site basis. Which makes it impossible to use.
