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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| webring your tag | #1 | #1 | 0 |
| webrings | #1 | #1 | 0 |
| blogroll your tag | #11 | #17 | up 2 |
| fediverse your tag | #21 | #24 | 0 |
| open web your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
4 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 1 of its tags isn't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- One page off on “blogroll”. #11 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- “open web” 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.
- Already on top for “webrings”. #1 without listing it. A tag would change little there; your slots are better spent on a search you don't yet win.
