Biggest opportunity: Swap “buttons”, “network” and “share” for “plurk”, “weibo” and “share buttons”. “buttons” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “plurk” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “network” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “weibo” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “share” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “share buttons” sits at #18 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →1.1%
of downloads still active
At least 3K of 261.7K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Social plugin keeps 0.5%, across 1,276 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Social 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.

What to do about it
- Swap “buttons”, “network” and “share” for “plurk”, “weibo” and “share buttons”. “buttons” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “plurk” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “network” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “weibo” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “share” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “share buttons” sits at #18 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up.

This plugin is perfect for sharing articles, pages and more on social networks. It perfectly matches my expectations. Moreover Geoffrey is known for respecting HTML standards and is very attentive to the quality of the code, also in terms of web accessibility, which is very important to me.

Very nice but the buttons don’t work on ipad or iphones. Only the share button seems to work. Otherwise 5 stars!
