Insights Peek into the Minds of Google Searchers

I've been writing about Analytics, the App Store, and SEO, so here's another post in the same vein. This time I cover the new tool from Google called Google Insights.

Head over to Google Insights for Search and search for iphone apps over the past 90 days.

The graph shows a spike around the time of the launch of iPhone 3G and the App Store.

A search for vsnax turned up no results. I guess we'll just have to wait and see on that one.

Update, Andrew Chen has put up some pretty pictures showing state-by-state adoption for some well-known sites. Or, are these sites just known by Silicon Valley nerds?

Wait, does the fact that these sites are well known to me make me a Silicon Valley nerd?

How do You Move 1 Million iPhones

Previously I wrote about how Medialets App Store Metrics provided a valuable tool for measuring App Store success. Medialets has once again provided the industry with some useful information, this time showing graphically how you move 1 Million iPhones.

Noone would be surprised to learn the the US dominated the global uptake of 3G iPhones.

Where do you think the next 1 million iPhones will go?

Check the Techcrunch post and Medialets as well for more information.

App Store Statistics and vSNAX Videos

Previously, I wrote about How Startups Should Look at Analytics.

We've been tracking the downloads for vSNAX Videos closely over the past few weeks. Our ranking got as high as 32 but has since dropped back down due to placement on the App Store page. Its great to see the App Store bringing in strong revenue for some iPhone devs.

Because vSNAX Videos is a free app, this does not really apply to us. However, we are concerned with daily download totals, if not daily revenue totals. At least we don't have to share 30% of our revenues with Apple.

Content Targeting

Contributing writer Steve Smith for MediaPost Publications had this to say about vSNAX Videos in his article The Ad Store:

Rhythm NewMedia, which already runs ad-supported video channels in the U.K., has far and away the most sophisticated iPhone app so far. The player window lets you browse other clips while the main clip runs dimly in background. Rhythm pulls in some of its major media partners like CBS News, Ripe TV, VH1 and Ford Models. In addition to the obvious brand extensions and branded video placements, the interface itself offers ample opportunities for pre-rolls as well as overlays. Both Pandora and vSNAX seem to understand better than some others in this catalog the fundamentals of the content business. If you create lush and appealing editorial environments, then advertisers will want to be there.

Medialets App Store Metrics

Today a colleague forwarded me a link to medialets. Medialets is a new company focusing on iPhone Apps. They have already put together some great resources including dynamic ranking pages by category, top free, top paid, and movement within those rankings. This is much more useful that the static lists that are available in the App Store itself.

Medialets has a continuously updated version of the App Store Metrics.

Perhaps the most interesting idea I found on their site is the medialytics offering. This is an SDK one embeds with an iPhone app to capture, record, and upload events such as program starts, terminations, phone models, and more.

This type of information is not readily available and would really help most new developers get a better handle on how their apps are performing on this new platform.
