WP Dynamic Links

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

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.

2 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Directory rank

Ranked about #20,100 to #21,300, alongside the other plugins at 50+ installs. Plugins with the same install count swap places between wp.org requests, so this is where most of them sit. Checked monthly, last on 1 Nov 2026.

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.

Crossed into this band 5 months ago; a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, which places it about 63% of the way through.

   I use this all the time on most of our heavy volume websites and I haven’t ever had a lapse in reliability. You guys rock! Keep up the good work. My only suggestion would be to provide a way to create the cloaked URL on the page that you want to insert the shortcode. Just so you don’t have to leave the page you are working on to go to the plugin page, create the link, then go back to your page-in-progress to insert the shortcode. This plugin is a “must download”!

   The plugin appears to perform its design function. I initially reviewed the wrong plugin, so I have amended this to give it a 4. I would give it a 5 if it was slightly more convenient to use. The main improvement I would like to see is the ability to choose the number of links to display on a page for reports (currently limited to 10). Another nice feature would be the ability to export/import the links in some format like CSV. If I had that, it would be a lot easier for me to look up and use the links in other sites, without having to log in to my dynamic links site and ssssllllooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwlllly page through my extensive link collection.

   This thing appears to have just about everything you might want in a redirect-link function. If I could find more info on some of the options that aren’t immediately obvious to me, I’d give it a 5-star rating.

   This is just what I was looking for but can you add an option to have a nofollow option? That way search engines won’t identify a site as an affiliate link. Please add this.

   I like the plugin, it does what it’s supposed to do. One thing I’d like to bechanged though: The shortlinks are created with the wordpress installation url basis instead of the plain domain’s url. That is my links get the form of http://www.domain.com/wordpress/xxx. I would prefer http://www.domain.com/xxx to have really short url’s and hide wordpress. Well done anyway.
