Sorry, I didn't really make that clear, when viewed from a phone, your website can create a link which, when clicked on, will open the Android Market straight to your listing. It's also not hard to detect the incoming user agent and only show the market link when viewed from an Android phone. Well not too hard ;-) Actually now that I think about it, it would be great if Google did a blog post about developing websites for the Android browser, sort of a best practices document.
Because honestly, if you're going to go through the trouble of making an Android application, I highly recommend you also create a complementary, simple, HTML 5 webkit compliant website, designed to be viewed from a mobile device. Go ahead and let the PC users view it too, no need to discriminate. It's cool that the Android Market itself helps to promote your application, but you can't honestly expect it to take care of all of your marketing needs.
