Can someone post download links to hd games, like need for speed, gameloft games, I see other hd2s kn androjd have it, but I don't know where to get it from & those games are not in the market

Go to gameloft's website to buy them. We do not support piracy here, if you're looking for such, then move along.

Whilst I DO support helping others out, I DO NOT support piracy and very few people on this forum (called xdaDEVELOPERS - not xdaPIRATES) would appreciate it if we ended up with nothing but pages of requests for warez!
Thanks Kailkti for putting it nicely
Im reporting this thread in the hope it gets locked and deleted so we have more "room" for legitamate threads
Please don't request paid apps, I'll give the benefit of the doubt and say maybe you thought they were not paid apps since they weren't on the market. Thread closed.

Hi, I'm a new app developer and I recently published my first app on the android market. Unfortunently I'm not getting any downloads besides those from friends. I've tried posted in app development forums like this one but that did not create an downloads. I also tried running an admob campaign and that did not create any downloads. I've been reading through the forums here and at other sites and it seems people won't download unless you have reviews and other people downloading. If others won't download because no downloads then nobody will download. I would really appreciate any advice. I'm not expecting or hoping for 10000 + downloads but I was hoping for at least 5 downloads since it's been almost 3 weeks now. Thanks for the suggestions.
go to smaller android blogs and ask them to review it. create youtube video and show how it works

Increase SEO of app..
In app details, enter large no. of keywords related with the app. Also, enter name of other similar popular apps as keyword.
It'll not just increase visibility in built-in search results, but also on external search engines and curators!
I might be able to help?
If you are looking to get your app promoted, I actually own and operate a website called Droid App of the Day, so if you would like a free app review visit my site (I cant post links as am a new member). A google search won't fail you!

Great article! Thanks for sharing this
Few words about google play app pronotion
Empirically, I determined that a new application has to be seen through search Google play. Search is all that we have without money for a marketing campaign.
Therefore,application should be optimized in the following order:
Application name in google play. This name may be different from the name displayed on the desktop device. The application name contains 30 characters, they should contain the main application keywords.
Description of the application must be clear and also contain keywords.
Attractive icons are very important.
The application must be beautiful and functional. No need to buy a device for $ 300-500 and install an ugly app. People want a beautiful application.
Publication of forums mentioned above.
Well if you don't mind paying for installations try appbrain. It features an option to pay per installation, for a small number of installations you can go as low as 0,20 per installation. They only allow to promote free apps though, and if your income is from ads you will probably not get your money back.
Other options are going to forums and telling the users about your app. Or contact review blogs. Appeggs usally posts good apps, or try app of the day blogs. But make sure your app is ready for the big public or else you might just end up getting bad reviews,
I wrote a little guide on how to promote your apps http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2225125
I wanted to add that the guide that i've been using (a small one) and that lead our team to initially post a thread here on XDA is: http://karim-ouda.blogspot.kr/2012/05/android-app-marketing-dumping-my.html
Interestingly enough, the author of that guide has posted here as well!
So keywords actually do stuff then? I only tried it in one app, I didn't tell anyone I built or released the app. Not even one or two people and admittedly it has had 200 downloads.
I thought it didn't really do anything. Think I have to add keywords to all my apps descs now.
Be careful with keywords: http://droid-blog.net/2011/06/13/how-to-not-get-kicked-out-of-android-market/
This is also interesting: http://droid-blog.net/2011/07/11/four-reasons-why-your-app-wont-be-successful/
And for tips: http://droid-blog.net/category/aso-2/
Ok. It is all from the same blog but I found it very helpful.
Advertising is one option, the other is to advertise your app on various forums, facebook groups. Making youtube video is also a good practice. It avoids you negative reviews as user has already been aware of all app features.
First of all, I want to say that I have no experience in promoting Android apps. But I did some work in promoting websites for businesses, and I can suggest some things.
Key is a having a functional app. If users download an app which is half done and has disabled functions because they aren't done yet, they are going to uninstall it. Second suggestion, a great design is makes a difference for a lot of people whether they're going to install it or not.
When you have both those things, you can get on with actually promoting the app. I would search for an SEO copywriter to get the description for your app. SEO copywriters are specialized in optimizing texts for Google. And I would look into advertising on Facebook. I think you can actually promote your apps, and advertise only on phones. This way your advertisement will only be showed to people who are using Facebook on their phone. User will probably more tempted to install the app.
My app is now having more 1600+ downloads! I am planning to do a major update which might increase the app exposure!
EDIT: I would like everyone to know that I have started a free review service, so if anyone in the process of promoting thier android app, they could consider requesting a free review from me!

App promotion
Thanks for all the interesting links and posts on app marketing ideas. We're a new app developer & in the same boat.
It seems that App Store Optimisation along with submissions to as many review sites as possible are good starting points. We started looking at pre launch strategies as well focusing on building up some marketing steam.
Check out pre apps. It's a pretty interesting idea. We also submitted to any app dev competitions and as many journalists as we could. Paid reviews are worth a look at as well if you can scrape a few 100 bucks together but make sure the site has traffic

You are not allowed to Discuss pirated stuff here.And i think the game you downloaded was a paid app.

the first thing i did was to search in app store. it didnt come up. i googled it on pc and i found it, i didnt know it was pirated. i thought it was one of those games that are free with ads or some other cach.
Not all games are paid apps.
This would all depend on what the game is. However, considering it was downloaded directly to the PC, and bypassing the Play Store, makes it very suspicious. We all know you can get warez on the internet.
Please be advised if this is a Paid app, it is against XDA rules to even discuss such things.
A quick search on the Play Store indeed states Football manager is a Paid app, so....

Start using AppAnnie - thats the best start to get a decent SEO campaign running... :good:
and ill quote something that I heard yesterday at the Mobile Monetization Summit from the VP marketing of Google (Europe, Middle East, Africa) : "Put your keyword in your app store app title, choose that keyword carefully..."
Also dont just put random keywords, try to stick to the relevant ones.
Try to make reviews as many as you can.
Use attractive keyword
Repeat the keywords more than 5
you can publish the app in many forum and media in order to create lots of link directly into the app link.
This will trigger app rank into top list.
I use the trial and error approach. I use tools like App Annie and Google Analytics and then simply try different things to see what works and what doesn't. I think it's very important to track what you do, so you don't spend tons of time doing something that actually doesn't give any real results.

What I heard is little different.
It is "around" 5 times, not too many.
Too many repetitive word would be seen as spam.
I hope I helped u
