Monitor links to your WordPress plugins

A while ago I made a pipe that helped you see what people were saying on the support forums about your plugins. I, for one, am still using it today.

I also like to monitor links to my site. I use both Technorati and Blogsearch for this. But I noticed that some people only link to the page on Extend, rather than the page on this site. Those links never appeared on my radar.

So I made another pipe that, instead of tracking support topics, tracks links to plugin pages on WP Extend.

And here it is: WP Plugins Links

Monitor support topics for your WordPress plugins

If you are a WordPress plugin author and have several plugins hosted on WordPress Extend, read on.

You have probably noticed that on the sidebar of each plugin page there is a list of topics related to that plugin. If you want to monitor these topics, you would normally have to subscribe to a new feed each time you release a new plugin.

Wouldn’t it be nice if you had a single feed which would contain all topics related to any of your current or future plugins hosted on Extend?

Well, now there is such a feed. It is generated by Yahoo Pipes and all it needs to run is your profile name, which is the last part of this URL:

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/profile/yourname

And here it is: WP Plugins Support.
