Weird Search Rankings in App Store
This might be linked to the weirdness I’ve been seeing with sales/rankings. Did a search for “Kids Learning” which is one of the terms I target. I’m doing pretty well in the results, but the order is surprising:
iPhone Search Results:
Pet Sounds Lite (50th) Averages 150 downloads a day last updated Nov 4, 2009 2.5 stars on 2012 ratings Uses “Kids” in title and “Learning” in keywords
Timmy’s Kindergarten Adventure Free (52nd) Averages 300 downloads a day last updated March 24, 2012 4 stars on 59 ratings Uses “Kids” in title and “Learning” in keywords
Zoo Sounds Free (61st) Averages 800 downloads a day last updated Feb 23rd, 2012 3 stars on 12 ratings (3 on 3921 overall) Uses “Kids” in title and “Learning” in keywords
Number Quiz Lite (62nd) Averages 30 downloads a day last updated Nov 20th, 2009 3 stars on 847 ratings Uses “Kids” in title and “Learning” in keywords
Again, any ideas? This is getting strange.
