Biggest opportunity: “ad”, “ads” and “adsense” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

How it's measured →0.7%
of downloads still active
At least 500 of 69.2K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,784 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
Removal-risk signals
53/100Maintenance and integrity signals that tend to precede a WordPress.org removal. Not an official status, a heads-up to act.
- Long abandoned. No update in 3+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 6.2.15.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| ad your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| ads your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| adsense your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| advertising your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence

I’m using Adsense in Post plugin almost at all of my sites. No problems with it for monthes. I just want the developer to add more than 3 inputs for Adsense code. Please, add at least 5 inputs. Thank you a lot!

Good plugin… Plugin author: Can you make it available to users with Contributor status as well? This would allow admins to create a “revenue share” website for their multi-author blogs. There are some plugins for this out there, but they suck because they only show an ad at the top and another ad at the bottom. However, im looking for a plugin where both admins and contributors can insert an ad in the middle (or wherever they want within a post). For example: You can create a simplified settings page that contributors can see; from here they can insert their ad code and their articles would show their ads. If you make this available I would be extremely grateful. I’d gladly write a fantastic review on this. Thanks!
