Does traditional linkbuilding work to rank an app in the app store?
-
Hi all!
Im diving into the App Store Optimization (ASO).
So, one of my coleagues told me that traditional linkbuilding works in order to get better ranks in the app store, I am specifically saying about the Google Play Store. (not apple store).Well, any thoughts in linkbuilding? Does it realy work? any study case, blog post or experience in this subjet?
Thanks!

Hi Gaston,
As far as I'm aware, inbound links are not a direct ranking factor in the app store rankings.
That said, as Eric mentions, links can impact things we do know are factors, such as downloads. So rather than focus on links as a metric, you're better off focusing on driving downloads and reviews, for which links from other places might be a channel, as we know these are direct factors for ASO.

It can work, but I would concentrate on getting links that actually get people to check out the app--and download it. Those links are going to be more valuable because they're real sites with real traffic.

Does anyone know of a tool where you can get all of the keyword that any given landing page is ranking for?
I'd like to find out what landing pages are ranking for which keywords, but I haven't been able to find a tool that does it. I was hoping there would be something where I could submit the url and get a list of every keyword it is ranking for. Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks!

Will pushing a visitor to a conversion page hosted on a 3rd-party domain hurt the landing page ranking
Had an interesting question from a client. The client has a page that is optimized for a specific term. The goal of the page is to push users to sign-up for a trial. The trial registration (conversion) page is hosted by a third-party. Will pushing users to the conversion page cannibalize the SEO authority of the landing page. My reflexive answer is to say no, but now am not so sure.

Can Anyone Explain Ranking Drop?!?
Good Morning, I'm hoping someone out there can try and help me figure out what has caused my site to drop from #6 to #10 to #14 and now #19 for my main keyword.. ( My Site is : http://goo.gl/JgK1e ) I am convinced that my site has the best/most unique content in this niche. Every other site uses the same manufacturer descriptions and info and i have added text to certain pages to try and give them more unique content. I believe that my site is very easy to use and navigate, and should be considered a great user experience... Any guidance or help would be greatly appreciated.... Thanks

Hi I didnt quite know what I was doing in start when I started linkbuilding. Links were spread btw epleskrinet.no and www.epleskrinet.no .

All links that are added know goes to www.version still the non www. is ranking highest. Should i worry about this or will simply the otherone overcome it in time ?
