app store SEO - another new technique

jamescoops — Sun, 09 May 2010 13:37:55 +0000

So a follow up to my previous posts on App Store SEO and App store SEO Trick. Here's a rather spammy but clever technique for leveraging the success of top games uncovered by Marco. Developers are creating products that complement the top hit games in the appstore such as Angry Birds. They are creating apps such as "Angry Bird Cheats" which allow them to cross sell to Angry Birds buyers and get traffic.

The spammy component is that they are using the name and branding of the game they are covering, presumably without permission. The thing is those that uncover these type of techniques before they get banned get probably do pretty well out of it in the window of opportunity that is available. Also this technique does point towards other legitimate approaches. For example, the Angry Birds publisher could develop many more spin-off products using the brand name e.g. their official Angry Birds cheats and so on or other complementary apps. Publishers increasingly need to develop networked strategies in order to succeed in app store marketing and related products is one potential option.

Zynga Looks to Ante Up for Online Gambling

Fri, 20 Jan 2012 09:53:00 +0000

Social games developer Zynga announced on Friday that it was in talks with potential partners to offer real money online poker and casino games, hoping to create a new revenue stream to soothe anxious investors questioning its long-term growth prospects.

Moving into online gambling would mark a significant departure from the company's normal business model, which sees it pull in money by sellign advertisements as well as giving users the chance to spend real money on virtual currency that can only be used in its games.

Its Zynga Poker game has 7 million daily users and 30 million or so monthly users, which is light years ahead of PokerStars -- the world's largest online poker site for real money play -- which sees a peak of 50,000-60,000 users active on the site on a typical day.

The comparison, though, is a bit unfair as Zynga Poker is free to play with only a tiny fraction generating revenue for Zynga while many of PokerStars players are real money players generating significan revenue day after day.

Zynga's annoucement was a dramatic about-face from its position just a few months ago that it had no interest in dabbling with online gambling for real money, and possibly spurred on by its struggling share price since its recent IPO, which is off nearly 15% from its opening price.

While the company is marginally profitable some analysts fear that its growth prospects are limited, with a saturation point possibly reached for its popular games such as CityVille, FarmVille, and CastleVille. Competition from competitors is also increasing with Zynga's stranglehold on the social games market slipping a bit.

In October the company announced plans for several new games including Zynga Casino, which is still in development and will include popular casino games such as bingo, blackjack, and roulette.

Zynga hasn't released the names of potential partners, with some analysts also not ruling out that the company may use some of its IPO warchest to buy itself into the online gambling space instead via an acquisition.
