FB Paid Installs Perform Just As Well As Organic Users

FB Paid Installs Perform Just As Well As Organic Users

New data from Localytics shows that users acquired through FB’s PPI on mobile perform just as well as organic users.  This could be very good and insightful news to those looking for a smart way to boost their downloads and rankings without having the immediate downfall after their campaign that most experience with incentivized burst campaigns. Since the launch of the platform last year, Facebook has claims to have generated more than 145 million new app installs for developers.  Localytics research shows that 81% of app users acquired through Facebook advertising use the new app more than once, compared to 78% of new users acquired organically. Needless to say, this shows just how valuable Facebook is, and is increasingly becoming for mobile marketers everywhere.  The study observed the retention of Android, iPhone and iPad users during a 60-day period ending Sept. 10, 2013.

How to Come Out On Top with App Store Optimization and Other App Marketing Tricks

How to Come Out On Top with App Store Optimization and Other App Marketing Tricks

While marketing, PR and advertising all have their part when you’re launching your app (and even afterwards) the most consistent way for you to get a regular stream of traffic for your app is by performing ASO (App Store Optimization). This is basically the process of optimizing the keywords in your description and other areas to increase the visibility when users of iOS, Google Play, and other platforms, respectively, search for them. The common assumption is that ASO is just like SEO (Search Engine Optimization) but for the App Store. This could not be farther from the truth.  In fact, founder of AppCodes Tomasz Kolinko even said: “App Store SEO is nothing like web SEO,” details Kolinko. “In case of web SEO, you need to find the best possible phrases, and then work your way to the top search results. In case of ASO, there is no ‘working your way to the top’ – if your position is low, there is nothing you can do, aside from looking for...
