This plugin will record clicks of shortcode <code>[downloadCount]</code> and shows it on posts list. Comes convenient if you’re a setting up 
a site to use download pages of products/publications as posts. Multiple shortcodes won’t work since it’s on the convention of 
one product per post.
Things make it nice:
<ul>
<li>Easily add this literally short shortcode [downloadCount] and get your link appeared.</li>
<li>Numerous HTML attributes are available so you can customize as you wish.</li>
<li>View download count right from the WP post list.</li>
<li>No dashboard menu entry (yet) to help you keep the backend clean.</li>
<li>Optimized speed with minimal resource usage.</li>
<li>It’s not just for downloads but any link you prefer to be tracked.</li>
</ul>
Shortcode attributes:
<ul>
<li>link= Your link to the download. Protocol (http/https) must be mentioned.</li>
<li>title= Text to be appeard as the link. Default: “Download”.</li>
<li>style= For CSS inline styles.</li>
<li>class= For CSS classes.</li>
</ul>
Tip: You can use even icons (or HTML codes) on <code>title</code> attribute.
Example shortcode: 
 [downloadCount link=”http://thambaru.com” title=”My website” style=”text-decoration:none;” class=”btn btn-success”]

Download Count

Counts downloads by shortcode and shows it on a column of posts list.
