For example the apps do show up in search results, so making sure your description is creative and describes your app/wallpaper in a way that will attract people to it who are searching for something similar (and I'm not talking about keyword spamming). For example if yours is bucky balls then maybe making sure the description contains terms that people who would be interested in it would be searching for, and testing that. The Just In section is only one way through which people discover apps. I do feel it helped smaller developers a lot, but we still have to get our apps into peoples hands who want them, so no point in giving up yet. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
