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

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.

What are the SEO challenges associated with private search engines, like DuckDuckGo?
I read recently that DuckDuckGo doubled in size in 2017. With their search engine, and other alternatives to Google, taking part of the search market away, how can SEO/Marketing/Web pros keep their websites optimized and get traffic from these private search engines? (Also, do any of you have experience with this? What portion of your search traffic is coming from private search engines?)

Searching google without bias
i read a tip once and can't find the reference to that tip. It had to do with searching google without including the history of your searches to bias the result. The user was suppose to put a code at the end of the URL, like &pw or something like that. Anyone hear of this?

Why are search results different for 'Yahoo Search' and Powered by Yahoo search?
So if you misspell something (no dns to connect with... unregistered domain as an example) on a browser that uses a Road Runner connection, it takes you to a search engine 'powered by yahoo search' which searches for whatever you typed in. Anyway, today we noticed that the website of one of our clients isn't coming up in this 'Powered by Yahoo Search' via roadrunner but comes up in Yahoo Search for the same query. In fact, we noticed that our clients website (10 yrs + established site) is missing in yahoo powered by search but on all other engines. Any clues? I thought this should be generally the same across Yahoo / Yahoo Powered / Bing / Bing Powered. Could this be using something pre-bing merger?
