Biggest opportunity: “badge”, “linked in” and “linkedin” 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 100 of 41.7K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Login & Users plugin keeps 0.7%, across 1,476 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Login & Users 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 5+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.
- Falling behind WordPress. Tested up to WordPress 5.7.21.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| techgasp your tag | #7 | #14 | up 6 |
| badge your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| linked in your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

Looks like these guys have had a bit of a bad rap in previous years. So far https://mycn.live have found them to be quite OK. Will update if anything changes.

Linkedin have their own plugin gnerating codes to put on your website. If you can’t program you are depending on the plugins. It is sadly that they do not provide more help for people who bought the plugin, which are working. The linkedin master plugin in wordpress is directing you to Linkedin plugin generator site. The linkedin plugins are great, but they do not generate the right url code of the country where they live in. I was looking for member profile code to put it on my website. As I and some people do not get the preview. I get back to look at my profile, go to profile badge and get the right code, copy paste in it in the scriptcode. I wrote a workaround about this issue. For more information, you can check my post. http://wonnytangacupunctuur.nl/linkedin-member-profile-plugin-issue

Sure you took $35 from my pocket, but you also got 1 star. This plugin does not provide any functionality, it just bring you to LinkedIn page that generate the code you need to embed in your wordpress. It does not even scale the LinkedIn plugin to the sidebar, just lame.

Two 5 star reviews with one of them being from the plugin author. Stay classy, TechGasp.

Not sure this plugin actually does anything, other than ask you to pay for a premium version.

I saw it on someones site and love it. I have installed it on my site and my linkedin connections are growing!

This plugin is just adding an icon with link to your profile. None of the things described are included in this version, instead you have to updatede to the paid version.
