- ctruman 13y agoAnyone else heard of http://www.straply.com/ http://www.straply.com/ before? It seems to have some cool data, any idea how they rank keywords by search volume?
- georgelawrence 13y agoWe measure a small sample of AppStore and Play Store searches. Since the sample size is small, we can't really nail down exact search counts, but we can give relative estimates.
- jetti 13y agoJust a heads up, the link to the part 1 of this series links to the second part. The first part is here: http://www.trevormckendrick.com/how-to-choose-a-profitable-niche/ http://www.trevormckendrick.com/how-to-choose-a-profitable-n...
- bthinker 13y agoI chatted with George at Straply at length at a startup event. He says they track the actual Apple App Store and Google Play searches and they have 2MM searched phrases in their database. The phrases that people are actually searching for with the misspelled words and all. As far as ranking keywords I'm pretty sure it's on the actual number of times phrases are really searched. No guess work. That being said, you might want to reach out to George. Seemed like a pretty good dude.
- xur17 13y agoI'm curious how they get that data. Does Google release it?
- georgelawrence 13y agoHi everyone, George from Straply here. (thanks for the shout out bthinker) If you've got any feedback or questions about Straply, I'd be happy to chat about it.
- nhm 13y agoThanks for another great post Trevor! App Store Rankings (http://appstorerankings.net http://appstorerankings.net) is keyword research tool I found in the discussion of your previous post. It estimates the difficulty of ranking within the app store for that keyword, and can also show you competitors (guessed?) keywords.
