Top 5 ways to SEO your next app for the Apple App Store!

• I'm putting together a new Apple app and need to know how to best promote it. Are there some specific SEO tips you can give me to help my app stand out from the thousands of others I'm going to be going up against?

These popularity and top app listings can give you a wealth of information about what works in the App Store.
