Q: Anyone interested in wordpress CTR sort plugin?

[ipolic]

As title says, is anyone here interested to use wordpress plugin which will sort post/videos/games/whatever by click through ratio(separate sorting for index/categories and tags)? Script is LIGHTWEIGHT and it's already done for my mainstream biz, I was just wondering if there is any interest in adult to use it???

I see it more then suitable for tubes/pinterest clones/tgps/mgps/whatever running on Wordpress.

Plugin needs small integration into theme files but I believe if you would ask theme developer they would integrate it and release new version since it's like half hr job for decent coder.

Questions, comments, everything more then welcome

Yeah would be nice addition to WP

I already did something like that, since I'm using "Wp-PostViews", I can easily sort out the post based on the "Views".

For example...

http : // www . mysite . com /some-category-name/?sort=views

And then I changed the WP Query in the archive/category to:

if(isset($_GET['sort'])) { $_SESSION['sort'] = $_GET['sort']; }
if($sort == 'views') {
   query_posts($query_string.'&v_sortby=views&v_orderby=desc&posts_per_page=24');
} else {
   //do the regular query here...
}

The code above was adapted for this GFY Post Obviously you should sanitize all GET inputs, etc.

Your code is good if you wanna sort by VIEWS, but my plugin sorts by click thru ratio on index or category or tags.

So for example you can have 1 video which gets tons of traffic from referrals/SE/etc but on index it is not clicked a lot. Your solution would display this video on top of index, while mine would display what people actually CLICK

Well basically script is plug and play, and it does CTR sorting like old school tgp/mgp rotators(stream rotator/smart thumbs etc)....very NICE addition to WP. There would be paid and free versions.

Is this a widget? If it's for the main page how do new posts without CTR get listed?

[ipolic]

No, it is PLUGIN, so all mainpage posts, category posts and tags would be sorted by CTR. New posts get listed in specified positions.

Yes we know it's a plugin.

It would be nice if it offered a widget of the highest CTR posts as well.

Maybe in future because that requires extra coding etc and I have plugin already done so thought to push it for adult biz also

I would be interested if it is priced reasonable.

I see what you mean...
Basicly, we'd need another "View Counter", which only counts hit from the site's domain, and not referrals...

[ipolic]

Nah, we just need good CTR sorting algo wordpress plugin ;)

[HowlingWulf]

So how does external traffic affect the CTR?
Such as incoming hits to a post from search engines?
How would you tell how many times the link has shown up in search engine results before being clicked?
