Rogue Martial arts who can not block

About the App Store's brush list ecology, not much nonsense, straight to the point. The famous monkey brother, who uncovered the app store's behavior on Weibo (@AppStore the list), poked the app store off the list in a August 30 paper titled "Gutter Oil in the mobile internet." But sadly, a passionate cow, Half a month time only poor 200+ forwarded. Perhaps the eco-environment in the App Store has been so bad. In such a chaotic China Mobile Internet circle, the brush list seems to be everyone knows the secret, you and I know a smile, we all know, hello me.

In the "You Brush my brush" circle, we also because of the different modes of operation are divided into many schools. Typical schools have six main categories: a pole flow, burst flow, Thursday-Friday flow, new stream, dimensional steady flow, no brain cycle flow.

The most common pole stream

First of all, we look at the most common "a pole flow", simply speaking is in a short time (generally 2 hours) quickly through the way to the top of the list.

In fact, this is the App Store brush list of the most basic, but also very good understanding. APP Store Brush list Business These days are very busy, list so many, who have time to you leisurely brush up? To the position to achieve the goal, ranking up to cut a figure, a single deal gold hand, easy plus happy. The price is transparent, the effect is obvious, fair.

Push too hard to explode

And on the basis of "a pole flow", there are a lot of developers are the first brush list, no experience will lead to the "force" too fierce situation, or a new agent, agents in order to show their "domineering test leakage" strength, so produced a "burst flow."

The above picture is a music class application in the App Store free top ranking change situation, its in the afternoon of September 11 top400,9 month 12th Morning 6 direct high to open to the free total list TOP5, during this period the application has not updated version, has not been recommended by Apple, no external events, But also catch up with the App Store stop more, the result is such a wonderful result.

Weekend effect born Thursday Friday stream

Due to the well-known weekend effect, in the Brush list field appeared "Thursday-Friday flow." This genre is the first "Friday stream" is fixed in Friday brush list, to ensure that from the Friday night to the weekend has been ranked in front of the list, convenient for users to see the application on the weekend leisure time. "Friday Flow" has expanded from the earliest game category to the mother and child, tools, entertainment, efficiency and other categories, and the painter also found in the Friday more concentrated brush list demand more, according to the principles of economics, in the supply unchanged, the increase in demand is the increase in service prices.

The brush list to improve the price of Friday, some developers feel that not cost-effective to choose a day ahead of the brush, that appears "Thursday flow." So we will look at some of the applications that often brush the list, its brush list time is Thursday-Friday two days, the following figure:

The above figure for a brush list specialist in the top list of nearly one months of change in the rankings, the three rankings of a significant increase occurred in August 16-17th (Thursday-Friday), August 30-31st (Thursday-Friday) and September 14 (Friday).

New version + Brush List of new stream

Follow the "Thursday-Friday Flow", many developers think that since all brush, that Mo not as much as a recruit: send a new version. New Release + Brush List The combination of the two have emerged a novel genre: the new stream. The general mode of operation is in the new version of the day before and after the brush list, and then can be in various media, micro-Bo Blow NB said: "We update the new version, ranking top xx!" At the same time, this kind of brush list is relatively more covert, because when others questioned the developers can say that we have just updated the version, so the download volume will soar.

The image above is a mobile phone game in the last 3 days of the list of changes, September 13 pulled up, September 14 update the new version.

Steady flow of the list

In addition to the "new stream", there is a not so annoying the brush list genre: "Dimensional steady flow." Some applications do have good quality, but either face user pressure, or are preparing to raise money, their rankings are not very small, but developers do not want at this "critical point" of any problems, so the small brush, maintain their list position. Because the rank change is not big, therefore this school's brush list is also the most difficult to judge, because affects this small change factor besides brushes the list to have many.

The above picture is an application of TOP10, which has almost always been in the domestic free rankings for the past one months (note the coordinate system, the lowest is 25, the recent may be due to active decline, download down, or perhaps because the other row in front of the application brush too hard (these days really not very peaceful), its application rankings have a slight decline, So the developer should use some means to let the rankings up, but whether it is really a brush list, or unknown.

Non-cerebral cycle flow of waste products

The last genre is just the opposite of the dimensional stability, and there is a "no brain cycle flow". The earliest cycle is usually the month, but now the brush is more and more, cycle is a week. The performance of this genre is to brush up at a fixed time, and then slowly fall, and repeat, as shown below:

The picture above is a free game in the last 1.5 months ranked in the free list of changes, weekly fixed drop after the brush. Why is it that there is no brain flow? Your product is not good, users can not stay, do you think that by the fixed cycle brush up to be able to change it? At present, many big companies in the game products are actually using a similar brain-free cycle flow, interspersed with game activities, version updates, shorter cycle, more and more brush list.

The above is the current time to brush the list of the 6 schools, once again thanks to Monkey (@ App Store brush list those things) exposure, but also recommend the use of Appfigures (14 days free, follow-up monthly fee of 4.99 U.S. dollars) services.
