Apple’s New App Store Rankings Algorithm Boosts madvertise’s KatAPPult Service to Further Increase Brand Visibility
London, United Kingdom, July 18, 2011 --(PR.com)-- madvertise, one of Europe’s fastest growing mobile ad networks, has seen the performance of its successful "KatAPPult" rankings booster service improve following Apple’s recently altered ranking algorithm. The KatAPPult’s framework adapted seamlessly to Apple’s update, guaranteeing top 25 placement for free applications in a shorter amount of time than before.
With around 500,000 (1) iPhone apps in existence, attracting users can be difficult for publishers. If an app doesn’t appear in the top 25 rankings, users can only find it via the search box and this can badly affect discoverability and downloads.
“Understanding the way in which the rankings in Apple’s App Store work is difficult, but madvertise strives to provide the necessary tools to publishers and developers,” says Carsten Frien, CEO of madvertise. “It is important for apps to become successful in the App Store as once on the list, the high visibility leads to an increasing number of users.”
Volker Helm, CEO of Initiative, whose application ContiTireRace2 reached number one in the gaming/racing charts and tenth in the games section in just 24 hours, said: "In a very short time our app climbed into the top ten, making it highly visible for weeks. KatAPPult has really helped with download numbers as well."
"The increased number of downloads that results from a high ranking in the Apple Store is extremely important for publishers, as it allows them to increase their brand visibility," said Carsten Frien. “Our KatAPPult service helps apps stay in the top 25 for longer, enabling brands to stay ahead in an extremely competitive market.”
