A few days ago I became the first app store developer to reveal sales-to-rank data.
Some other sites have confirmed an interest in this data, such as The UnOfficial Apple Weblog.
With iFart continuing its move up the charts, I want to continue sharing data with you, especially since something very interesting has happened since we broke into the top ten apps in the world.
Here is updated data from the time the app went live on December 12th, 2008.
The format is date, daily units sold, overall ranking (starting 12/14) and entertainment category ranking.
12/12 – 75 units – #70 entertainment
12/13 – 296 units – #16 entertainment
12/14 – 841 units – #76 overall, #8 entertainment
12/15 – 1510 units – #39 overall, #5 entertainment
12/16 – 1797 units – #22 overall, #3 entertainment
12/17 – 2836 units – #15 overall, #3 entertainment
12/18 – 3086 units – #10 overall, #3 entertainment
12/19 – 3117 units – #9 overall, #2 entertainment
12/20 – 5497 units, – #4 overall, #2 entertainment
So why the massive leap on 12/20? I can only suppose that either there is an exponential jump once you hit the top five, or the release of Sim City has been a rising tide that lifts all boats. SInce it rocketed directly to the #1 spot, there are many eyeballs looking at the top ten.
Either way, it\’s good for the entire app store and I think we\’ve still got movement to go as we have our aims set on the #1 slot.
