Biggest opportunity: “facebook”, “google plus” and “instagram” 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 60 of 5K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Social plugin keeps 0.5%, across 1,277 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.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| facebook your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| google plus your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| instagram your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| social your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| twitter your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||

The plugin works flawlessly! The only problem it has: on mobile displays (read smartphone, not tablets!), there will be almost for sure overlapping between the social icons and the post text, making reading difficult on about 75% of the display (depends on height). In short, non responsive for small screens (using editor theme). PS: you can see it for yourself using 5inch mobile display on: http://www.bruxaberenice.com
