Biggest opportunity: Swap “email” and “email log” for “mail logs” and “log”. “email” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “mail logs” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “email log” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #13. “log” sits at #9 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 →7.0%
of downloads still active
At least 10K of 143.8K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Email & Marketing plugin keeps 0.9%, across 1,295 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Email & Marketing 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 “email” and “email log” for “mail logs” and “log”. “email” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “mail logs” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “email log” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #13. “log” 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 “email log”. #13 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

works well
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ webdevgo1.2y ago
I truly like the way that this email log tool operates and looks. At first you’d be taken aback that there are no old style controls that tell you to click on the email in the list view that it’s in, but if you click, it comes up nicely, and then it all uses some sort of method where the screen doesn’t need to refresh in order to show the next set of email lists on the other ‘pages’, etc. Is that AJAX, or Javascript? Anyhow, it’s really really good. Great job and thanks a ton!
