As app developers and business people in general, one of the biggest challenge we face is to make sure our products stay relevant. It is one thing to create an out-of-the-world awesometastic product, it is a different thing to get people to buy the product. I’ve seen countless Apps on the iTunes and Google Play Store that were just fucking – aahhhhh – well designed and well developed, but there they were just sitting there in the App Store Wasteland, generating little to none revenue for the poor App Developer. I can say this with confidence because I been on the receiving end of having my apps relegated to the wastelands.

If you are an Online Entrepreneur or a Website Owner, chances are, you might have heard of the phrase: Search Engine Optimization (SEO).

SEO is basically designing your website and structuring your content in a way that makes it easier for Search Engines (Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc…) to find your content, and rank it for specific keywords; for example. “Best iPhone Apps” or “Best Games For iPhone”. You get the idea. Of course there are a Billion other things that you need to do in order to achieve that, but the ultimate goal is to rank on the 1st page for whatever keywords you’re targeting. Anytime you have a Search Engine, you have Algorithms (Computer Programs/Bots) that are specifically looking for certain things in your content; more importantly the Keywords. This is true for ALL search engines .i.e. Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc… Now, what most people don’t seem to realize is that the iTunes App Store is also a Search Engine; it’s a Search Engine for Apps. The iTunes App Store also has its own proprietary Algorithm that ranks the Apps based on certain pre-programmed criteria.
