I think the market ranking are more accurate now. My app, which has over 20,000 downloads and a 4.6 rating, should certainly be higher than an app that has only 1000-5000 downloads and a 4.0 rating. I think they previously have too much emphasis on "active installs". Looks like it's fixed now, and for the better in my opinion.
