SEO Auto Linker

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 · 90% 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.

   I am a Chinese user, this plugin can only automatically add content with symbols or spaces before and after in Chinese, if there are no symbols or spaces in a piece of content, it will not automatically add links, I hope the author can fix it, thank you This topic was modified 2 years, 6 months ago by Cardno.

   This plugin could be nice if it worked right. A couple of verified problems remain unfixed for a very long time ( a year back !! ). Also some old and depreciated code is included. Abandonware. This topic was modified 6 years, 6 months ago by dimal.
