Biggest opportunity: Swap “ads” for “associates”. “ads” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “associates” sits at #22 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 300 of 79.5K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,770 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 4 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.

49 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 7 listed. 42 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- Swap “ads” for “associates”. “ads” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “associates” sits at #22 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “ad”. #14 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Ich bin absolut begeistert von der App Corner Ad! Sie hat meine Erwartungen bei weitem übertroffen und sich schnell zu einem unverzichtbaren Tool in meinem Alltag entwickelt. Die Benutzeroberfläche ist unglaublich intuitiv und benutzerfreundlich – sogar für Menschen, die wenig technisches Know-how haben. Ich konnte sofort loslegen, ohne mich lange einarbeiten zu müssen. Was Corner Ad besonders auszeichnet, ist die Effizienz und Präzision, mit der Anzeigen geschaltet werden. Egal ob ich eine kleine lokale Kampagne oder eine größere Werbeaktion starte – die Ergebnisse sind immer beeindruckend. Die Reichweite, die ich durch die App erzielen konnte, hat mein Geschäft auf ein völlig neues Level gehoben. Noch nie war es so einfach, meine Zielgruppe direkt und präzise anzusprechen. Die Analytics-Funktionen sind ebenfalls hervorragend. Ich kann in Echtzeit verfolgen, wie meine Kampagnen performen, und gegebenenfalls Anpassungen vornehmen. Dadurch verschwende ich keine Ressourcen und kann meine Werbebudgets optimal nutzen. Ein weiteres Highlight ist der herausragende Kundenservice. Bei Fragen oder Anliegen wird einem schnell und kompetent geholfen – ein weiterer Grund, warum ich Corner Ad nur weiterempfehlen kann. Fazit: Corner Ad ist der perfekte Begleiter für jeden, der sein Marketing auf das nächste Level bringen möchte. Eine 5-Sterne-App, die ich ohne zu zögern jedem empfehlen kann!
