Biggest opportunity: “local” and “publishers” 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.

of downloads still active
At least 700 of 55.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,773 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.
This plugin shipped 8 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.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| broadstreet your tag | #1 | #3 | 0 |
| hyperlocal your tag | #1 | #1 | 0 |
| adserving | #1 | #1 | 0 |
| adserver | #2 | #2 | 0 |
| independent your tag | #5 | #18 | up 3 |
| local your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| publishers your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
9 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 5 listed. 4 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 2 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- “local” and “publishers” 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.
- Already on top for “adserving” and “adserver”. #1 and #2 without listing them. A tag would change little there; your slots are better spent on a search you don't yet win.

What its installed base runs
via wordpress.orgShare of active installs on each version of this plugin · 78% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.
Estimated active installs
The public count shows “700+”. Our estimate pins where the real number sits.
Crossed into this band 8 days ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just under 800.
At the current install trend, crossing 800+ in roughly 200 days.

Is it a service you pay for? Or just a standalone directory?

It seems to me these guys under-promise and over-deliver. Customer service at it’s best… and a great product. :_)
