What did Google do to boost their results?

• Handset coverage: Google initially started with Symbian, Windows and Blackberry but later also included a Mobile Site Shortcut to cover non-smartphone users and increase their reach

• Campaigns: Initially they started with 2 campaigns per platform. However, following initial success Google began to use GetJar’s managed services and have since launched dozens of campaigns where they segmented these campaigns by:– Country– Platform– Message

• Analytics : leveraging GetJar’s managed services has also allowed Google to consistently analyze, fine tune or eliminate – as needed – certain campaigns

• Google’s campaigns have also been consistent over time ensuring high frequency of visibility in front consumers with high bidding to ensure visibility
