The recommendation checklist consists of two main things: accuracy and usability.

Accuracy is usually weighed stronger than usability, but if two emulators are close, but the slightly less accurate one is easier to use, then the slightly less accurate one will be recommended over the more accurate one. If the accuracy difference is night and day, with the less user friendly one being much more accurate, then it will be recommended over the less accurate one.

While an emulator author may have a hard time deciding usability, accuracy is boolean. I personally prefer hard numbers from accuracy tests and/or game compatibility, but that isn't always necessary to show accuracy. I do not think you should change the recommendation status of your own emulator (for obvious reasons), but showing that accuracy and usability are important goals, and that you're keeping your emulator active are good ways to get it recommended. If you would like to do accuracy testing for us vs. other popular (and even unpopular) emulators, that would go a very long way.
