Biggest opportunity: Swap “recommendations” for “recommendation”. “recommendations” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “recommendation” 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 10 of 12.2K lifetime downloads are still running, below 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 1 release 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.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| semantic your tag | #12 | #20 | down 3 |
| recommendation | #22 | #23 | 0 |
| semantic related posts | #9 | #18 | up 1 |
| content recommendation | #23 | #21 | up 1 |
| recommendations your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| related content your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| related posts your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| social your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
13 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days, 4 listed. 9 left out as unrelated or noise (years, numbers, stray words). 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- Swap “recommendations” for “recommendation”. “recommendations” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “recommendation” 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 “semantic”. #12 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Estimated active installs
The public count shows “10+”. Our estimate pins where the real number sits.
Crossed into this band 3 months ago and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just under 20.

This plugin works great! Thank you for quick response in the forum. Tips: If you want to use this plugin with pages, you should set tags in pages properly. (You have to use Toolset Types plugin or similar plugins together.)

This plugin was good and after having a small plugin and reporting it here, plugin author fixed the issue in just a day or two. Thanks Sosere for producing such a great plugin. 5 stars.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Li-An12.4y ago
I made a test where a related post plugin was already installed – Contextual Related Posts. I installed Sosere and waited some weeks. Then I took a look at the results for one post with only one tag “spam” – category does not count on my site as I don’t use them really. Sosere was unable to find any relatad post with the “spam” tag. Contextual Related Posts gives all results with the “spam” word inside. I made a screecapture to prove it. So how is it supposed to work ? Do I have to wait 3 monthes ? The concept looks good but it’s an epic fail for me. Update: the plugin works as is intented. As it analyses the visitor behaviour… well, the “related” posts depend on the way the visitors crawl your site. Useless for my need.
