 * Hello, I wonder how the positioning on [https://wordpress.org/plugins/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/)
   works. Some of the plugins have almost no active installs and are on the top 
   of the result. Do the tags/description affect on the positioning? Is it secret
   algorithm or is there well known way to make your plugins have better position
   on the list? Thanks in advance.

 * I’m 99.994% sure it’s a curated list.

 * I sincerely hope not! There’s already way too many authors who are (foolishly)
   using the WordPress.ORG plugin repo as a lead for more income.
 * To paraphrase someone else, that is _an amazingly breathtaking bad idea_ and 
   anyone depending on reviews in the plugin repo as a business model is setting
   themselves up for failure.
 * If your plugin shows up on that list, cool. If not then please just focus on 
   producing good code that users will adopt. Plugins that solve problems for people
   will get used and become popular.
