They are probably giving the latest data about your app more weight. I.e the download rate of your app may actually be lower than a hot new app with thousands of downloads.

One of my apps (Cestos), is in the action/arcade category, has a large number of downloads (120k+), a large number of ratings (~4k), and a very high average rating (4.64 according to cyrket, 4.5stars on the market). However, it is being beaten on the lists by many items with lower ratings (many 4.0 and a bunch of 3.5), with lower download counts/ratings. I imagine there's a good bit of other things that go into rankings, but having one of the highest rated games on the market, and a good number of downloads/ratings, and being down on page 3-4, with lower rated/downloaded apps sitting higher up, makes me wonder a bit... Anyone have any insight? - Dan __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
