All well, but you haven't explained what other behaviors are possible to expose an app?
The market as such has: -) the most popular tab, where you have little control in being listed in the top10. -) the most recent tab, where you can control if you are in the top10. -) a search that is a joke. Serious, it was done my an intern who was not yet sure if he wants to go int CS? So please explain to me how else one can get exposure? Yes, one can try to do a classical marketing with ads, paid bloggers, and so on, but that costs. If the cost is not expressed in monetary units, it costs in time units.
