I recently launched a Chrome extension that adds audio voice commenting capability on top of Facebook, called "Talk and Comment".<p>Question is, have you ever marketed correctly a Chrome extension? given the fact that they're not being featured on the Chrome webstore.<p>Any real-life case would be appreciated.
I have a chrome app (similar).<p>Make an informational website.<p>Basic "5 page site" with marketing information and documentation can be a great source of drip traffic.<p>Make sure the "download" link is on every page and within reach.<p>The whole concept is similar to marketing an app, albeit on a different store. Somebody else might know about how to get featured, and much like the app store, that also certainly helps your numbers.<p>If I type "your extensions name" into Google, it's feasible to cover the first page in properties related to your extension:<p>1 chrome store link<p>2 your marketing site<p>3 prominent app/extension review<p>4-6 social media pages<p>7 - 10 get creative
The fact that a majority of the reviews you have so far mention you by name makes it look like you encouraged friends and/or colleagues to post them.
I have no experience. Just wanted to mention the prominent case of a solo teenager winning a hackathon for her Chrome-extension relating to TV shows <a href="http://www.motherjones.com/media/2013/05/meet-17-year-old-saving-you-game-thrones-twitter-spoilers" rel="nofollow">http://www.motherjones.com/media/2013/05/meet-17-year-old-sa...</a><p>I'm kind of kicking myself for not doing more chrome extension work. We consume such a variety of information and Chrome has huge flexibility in working with that info...seems to have a lot more potential usefulness in our day to day lives, and plus, you don't have to learn a new IDE and language
