Biggest opportunity: Swap “world” and “country” for “aspect ratio” and “bin”. “world” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “aspect ratio” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “country” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #23. “bin” sits at #6 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 →5.4%
of downloads still active
At least 2K of 37.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,770 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.
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 “world” and “country” for “aspect ratio” and “bin”. “world” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “aspect ratio” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “country” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #23. “bin” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up.

I really nice simple plugin for maps. It would be nice to add the flags via shortcodes or in the titles, and posts without the use of HTML. This topic was modified 8 years, 1 month ago by moleisking.
