Biggest opportunity: Swap “ads” and “analytics” for “success” and “pro”. “ads” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “success” sits at #12 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “analytics” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “pro” sits at #23 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 →1.7%
of downloads still active
At least 800 of 47.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Analytics plugin keeps 1.2%, across 1,007 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 8 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.

Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.

Really easy to use and works flawlessly. After trying various plugins I finally found a really good one, simple and very easy to use. Thank you for creating this plugin and hope that this plugin will continue to be developed and become one of the default plugins for wordpress

After testing under PHP 8.0 & WP 6.0.1 – i’ve got some errors and warnings in the backend, when i visit the ‘Analytics Overview’ and ‘Analytics Report’. It still works by the way. If i switch back to php 7.4.1 the errors & warnings are gone. Thanks again for this great plugin! This topic was modified 3 years, 11 months ago by hellmute.

Missing impressions when using iframe-ads. Would be nice to be able to see the impressions (number of times the iframe is loaded). This topic was modified 6 years, 7 months ago by trillebar.

This is a plugin that reliably does what it promises in a straightforward way. Plus the author provides a real five star support: before I even could try out his workaround for a question I had, it was turned into a new feature in a plugin update, all this within less than 24 hours. Wow! I don’t have the slightest need to try out any other banner plugin. Thanks a bunch!

The new mobile function is the best. It is also light and perfect for a fast wordpress.
