Biggest opportunity: Swap “affiliate plugin”, “affiliate” and “affiliate marketing” for “commission”, “earnings” and “amazon affiliate”. “affiliate plugin” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #19. “commission” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “affiliate” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #18. “earnings” sits at #16 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “affiliate marketing” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #17. “amazon affiliate” sits at #17 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 →1.2%
of downloads still active
At least 6K of 490.7K 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 10 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.

The plugin looks good, but the translation doesn’t work.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ digittalpi2.3y ago
I used to love this plugin, but now it’s terrible. I’ve used it before and was satisfied, but now when I install it, it completely crashes my website. The only way to get my site back is by deleting the plugin through the file manager. Also, I can’t believe they still haven’t added the option to choose between a percentage or a fixed amount for affiliate payments.

Great plugin for affiliate program so far, easy to use.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Avrom4.4y ago
I’ve tried a few affiliate plugins over the years, and I like this one the best. Even with obvious limitations in the free version – it is worth 5-stars. And we’ll probably upgrade to pro version. CONS – Limited functionaity in the free version – for example won’t even send emails to admins or affiliates when sales are recorded, affilaites apply or join etc. Even the free affilaite versions do this. Other limited funcitonality as well. PROS – Very nice and visually appealing dashboard. Best I’ve seen among the affilaite plugins. Easy to understand. – It works, the affilaite sales are recorded. – Excellent followup and support. For a free pluign, support response here in WP Org is fast and efficient. – Doesn’t slow page loads. Other affilaite plugins dragged our site speed down, this one doesn’t. – Super easy to install and get setup. Easy to undersand dashboard and features UI/UX is nice.
