Its just sad that people have to turn to these kind of products to 'reverse engineer' the app store. The volume of business app store generates should require them to give more info to the developers, specially around SEO.

Developers will soon turn to Google Play and the Amazon App Store which offers much better customer service.

Developers will faster turn to these sorts of products before abandoning half the market.

This is the first I've heard of external ratings affecting App Store ranks. Is this true?

I believe Chomp was doing something like that, and if they are integrated into the app store as this article claims, it might be true.

Nobody knows exactly, but it sounds like true. We have seen many cases that the search results for "radio" contain apps which do no have "radio" in any places. The new Apple's algorithm indexes some external sources.
