App Search Optimisation - Downloads information
-
Hi
Where do you get accurate app download information from (I cant find in iTunes) ?
Cheers

Thanks John
I do use SensorTower, really looking for a service that combines all, a hybrid of appfigures and sensortower is desired
Will check Appcodes when get a chance
Thanks for all your comments

That's the one thing Appfigures is still missing. When I asked their support about that, they said they're working on it. Appcodes does a reasonable job at tracking that, and if you ever want to quickly see the keywords an app is using, you can use Sensortower for that. I don't subscribe to either of those sites ongoing.

Thanks for confirming that John !
PS - App Figures, which is great btw (thanks for the heads up), doesnt offer keyword rank reports as far as i can see (only category)
-
Yup! It'll all be in iTunes Connect, which is the site in which your developers will be uploading your app to Apple. There are different access levels... I don't recall what they are, but I believe there is a marketing one that should give you access to Sales and Trends report.

ok great many thanks John, sorry but just to confirm, thats in iTunes directly we should be able to get all that data !!
-
Our app is free (with no in-app purchases), so it just shows downloads in that report. It looks like the report can toggle between downloads, updates, and in-app purchases, so you should be able to see both here with no issues.
Have a great weekend yourself!

Thats great information thanks John !
Our app is free (but with in app purchases), will iTunes data (sales & trends or other section) tell us the actual number of downloads (as opposed to sales) ?
Thanks for the heads up re Appfigures too
Have a great weekend !
All Best

The data in the Sales and Trends report in iTunes Connect should be considered the truth. If you don't see that report, you should talk to whomever is your admin in iTunes Connect to give you the appropriate access.
I use a site I really like called Appfigures.com that links up to my iTunes Connect to track rankings over time, and get a better picture of downloads by country over time. They also pull data on reviews, where you're being featured, and general rankings if you want to see how other apps rank compared to yours. They have a free trial if you want to try it out, and it's like $5/mo for one app after that, so it won't break the bank.

Site "Internal" Search Full-Text Indexing vs. Manual Tagging
I’m looking for recommendations on how to power site search in an efficient way. Ideally, I would like to get recommendations on platforms, tools, trends, technology and resources. This discussion does not really refer to SEO or site search optimization. It is more related to the technology used to power site search. I would like to get an idea on the differences between full-text indexing site search and site search that requires manual tagging.

How to count number of app's installations for users who install app from https://play.google.com?
The task is to find out which banner on my site provides more installations of the game. The banners' urls link directly (refferal source in the url is specified) to the game page on https://play.google.com. Google Analytics and Google Play are connected but I've faced the problem that Google Analytics counts only visitors who install app via Google Play app so visitors from the banners to play.google.com aren't counted at all. That's the question, is there any way to count visitors to the app page on play.google.com and to count the number of installations by these visitors ?

How often do you submit to local search/citation sites?
I recently received a Network Solutions spam/offer email regarding their internet marketing packages. One of the "benefits" they cited was that they submit your information to local search/citation sites once a month, to keep it up-to-date. I don't know about you guys, but my clients' information isn't changing on a frequent basis. I remember when it used to be a tactic to submit regularly to the same citation sites, but that seems like overkill now. Does anyone still do this, or is NS just trying to make their product sound good? Do we need to update citation sites frequently, or is it enough to update when there are actual changes to make?

Storing & Analyzing Site Search Phrases
We are adding a JQuery smart search to our site that provides product suggestions as our visitors type. I can create a simple script to store precisely what the visitors are searching for and how they type it. However... I am not sure how to best analyze the data for use. Simply storing the data does not tell me how many times a particular phrase was used. I believe a smart suggestion search tool will skew my results, as it will suggest what I list my product names as in my database rather than what they call it. I don't want to reinvent the wheel. I found a great JQuery script for the suggestion search, but is there anything out there for storing and analyzing the user search input?

Does Google index search results pages for other search engines?
I've noticed a lot of backlinks to sites consist of SERPS from other search engines that Google. A link to a query like: http://searcheninge.com/?q=apple for instance. Does Google index these links and do they give any value? Regards, Henrik
