Biggest opportunity: Swap “post” and “share” for “kakaotalk” and “naver”. “post” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “kakaotalk” sits at #8 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. “naver” sits at #17 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 →4.0%
of downloads still active
At least 3K of 74.8K 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.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| kakaostory your tag | #1 | #1 | 0 |
| kakao talk your tag | #2 | #2 | 0 |
| sns | #5 | #8 | down 3 |
| korea | #6 | #7 | down 1 |
| wp sns share | #2 | #2 | 0 |
| kakaotalk | #8 | #7 | 0 |
| kakao your tag | #11 | #10 | down 1 |
| naver | #17 | #12 | 0 |
| post your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| share your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
10 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 8 listed. 2 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
- Swap “post” and “share” for “kakaotalk” and “naver”. “post” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “kakaotalk” sits at #8 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. “naver” sits at #17 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 “kakao”. #11 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

What its installed base runs
via wordpress.orgShare of active installs on each version of this plugin · 86% 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 “3K+”. Our estimate pins where the real number sits.
Crossed into this band 4 days ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just under 4K.

근데 왼쪽이나 오른쪽에 Floating 형식으로도 있으면 더 좋을것 같아요. 감사합니다.

워드프레스 홈페이지가 콘텐츠를 생산하고 저장하는 베이스 캠프라면, SNS 채널들은 이 콘텐츠를 널리 유통시키고 소통하는 역할을 합니다. 한국에서는 카카오톡, 카카오스토리, 라인, 밴드 등이 중요한 SNS 채널 역할을 하는데 이 채널들을 홈페이지에 탑재 시킬 수 있는 korea-sns 플러그인이 개발되어서 참으로 반갑습니다. 지금 유용하게 잘 활용하고 있습니다. 감사합니다! ps. 실수로 동일한 내용으로 두번 등록이 되었네요^^ This topic was modified 9 years, 5 months ago by Samuel Wood (Otto).
