Ask HN: How do you promote an app in the Android marketplace?
I released an app that I had been working on for a while, and I have very few downloads. When I advertised using a mob, the numbers increased substantially. However now that I've stopped, so have the downloads.
Are there any ways to get your app more visible? Searching for a key term in the title and description doesn't return anything!
- Concours 15y agoAppstore discovery optimization can help, but I guess the real boost comes from press coverage, I've been trying to gain traction with my app, a full text rss news reader (shameless plug: http://www.sparserss.com http://www.sparserss.com : Free sparse rss pro) and am still struggling. care to share some results from your admob campaign?
- roam 15y agoPlease proofread the copy of your website. The titles on the site make zero sense to me unless I take a moment to parse them again and again. I mean, "Sparse Rss Pro Best Android Full Text New Reader Application" just screams spam to me. :)
- Concours 15y agoHey, thanks for the recommendation, I did that a while back , will update it shortly.
- electrichead 15y agoI put in the minimum of $50 and had it going from Thursday morning Eastern time to Saturday. I had a limit of $10 the first day and $25 on Friday, leaving $15 on Saturday. In all, I had about 80 downloads. Since Saturday, I've only had about 20. I found admob good for traffic, but there were no ratings and feedback at all. Total impressions were about 290k with about 1250 clicks.
