Biggest opportunity: “status” isn't earning a slot. You list it, but you're not in the first 24 results for that search. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

of downloads still active
At least 10 of 4.5K lifetime downloads are still running, below 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.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| playstation network your tag | #1 | #4 | 0 |
| psn your tag | #2 | #5 | 0 |
| playstation your tag | #2 | #12 | 0 |
| status your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
3 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 1 of its tags isn't in the top 24 for their own search.

This plugin hasn’t been out long and I like the idea. I need this for my site however I don’t see an option for North America, also the background and link to your website is kind of unnecessary. I would use this theme indefinitely if it had more customization and didn’t have the link to your website. Don’t get me wrong, advertising is essential but these widgets are going on other people’s sites. I could and would be happy to simply put on my site that the widget is power by your site.
