It's a chicken and egg scenario. We, at AndAppStore, see a fair amount of traffic and purchases, but nowhere near the volume of Market. Because of this many developers don't list with us because they don't want the "hassle" of maintaining multiple listings (i.e. one at Market and one at AndAppStore). This leads to AndAppStore not being as appealing to users and OEMs because of the more limited availability of apps.
If developers really do want an alternative to Market then they'll need to list at the alternatives to help boost their appeal to both OEMs and users and help those alternatives appeal to OEMs & users.
