I chatted with George at Straply at length at a startup event. He says they track the actual Apple App Store and Google Play searches and they have 2MM searched phrases in their database. The phrases that people are actually searching for with the misspelled words and all. As far as ranking keywords I'm pretty sure it's on the actual number of times phrases are really searched. No guess work. That being said, you might want to reach out to George. Seemed like a pretty good dude.
Thanks for another great post Trevor!<p>App Store Rankings (<a href="http://appstorerankings.net" rel="nofollow">http://appstorerankings.net</a>) is keyword research tool I found in the discussion of your previous post. It estimates the difficulty of ranking within the app store for that keyword, and can also show you competitors (guessed?) keywords.
Just a heads up, the link to the part 1 of this series links to the second part. The first part is here: <a href="http://www.trevormckendrick.com/how-to-choose-a-profitable-niche/" rel="nofollow">http://www.trevormckendrick.com/how-to-choose-a-profitable-n...</a>
Anyone else heard of <a href="http://www.straply.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.straply.com/</a> before? It seems to have some cool data, any idea how they rank keywords by search volume?
Hi everyone, George from Straply here. (thanks for the shout out bthinker)<p>If you've got any feedback or questions about Straply, I'd be happy to chat about it.
