I've found that about 1% of users will take the trouble to rate an app. If you bug them about it, I'm guessing they'll give you a low star rating along with some sort of comment that says "Dev annoys with request to rate."
Additionally (and counter intuitively), low ratings seem to affect market position while high ratings do not. The question you should be asking yourself is: "Do I really want every user to rate my app?" As to the answer, since you have no access to rating information nor who made the rating, your problem will be difficult if not impossible to solve given the current access to market data. On the flip side, the data to identify a particular user exists, it may not identify who the user is in terms of if they downloaded your app or not, but there is identification data of some sort that goes along with the comments. You can see this in Androlib, click on a comment, you'll see every comment that user made on any app. -John Coryat "Radar Now!" "What Zip Code?" "Mail it Now!"
