Keywords

Hi guys,

I released one game so far that had poor number of downloads…
I am preparing to release another one soon.

Can I list irrelevant (to my game) popular/trending keywords so I do not have to invent warm water and pay for ASO analysis?
Would Apple reject me for that?

Beign 100% fair is tough!

I would appreciate your opinon!
Thanks!

I totally understand where you are and what you mean. I feel like false advertising will not get you accepted very easy. I can suggest finding someone with a fairly big number of followers on like Instagram or Twitter and just paying them a couple bucks to post your ad for a short period of time. That could really help.

I tried to pay guys I found on special websites to post on their Twitter accounts… but I feel like their followers are immune to things like that (but they get it on daily basis).
Anyways, maybe someone who is not doing that regulary… but how to find person liks that :slight_smile:

Just go searching around for an Instagram or twitter. 

Will try.
Thanks.

Just wondering. How much would you pay to advert it?

I paid several so called “gigs”, found on specialized sites.
From 5 to 20$ as I recall.
I would advise you NOT TO PAY THAT.
Waste of money.

Better find someone who is not doing that for a living…

You can pay Beyonce 5000$ for a tweet :slight_smile:

When you use irrelevant keywords, it’s called “Keyword Stuffing” in the Search Engine Optimization world and is severely frowned upon. Most search engines will lower your ranking for doing it.

I don’t know where Apple is with their ASO and respect to keyword stuffing, but if I was searching for photo apps and you stuffed photo, photography etc. in your game it’s going to tick me off. App’s are hard enough to discover when Apple only shows you a few choices and when that’s littered with irrelevant apps, you make it worse for everyone and people searching for a keyword that you’re not part of isn’t going to install your app anyway.
