@drbarnard Is it possible to spend real money on those yet? Or are they just test ads?

@olemoritz free for now, also no control

@drbarnard Ah okay, they only show up on iOS 10, right?

Speaking of which, where does one go to set up search ads?

@drbarnard https://developer.apple.com/app-store/search-ads/ …

@BrianMueller333 Can you change the settings at this point, or is it all automatic based on existing keywords?

@drbarnard So each of the top two ads gets more than the first organic?

@dreese opposite, the top organic result gets almost twice the two ads combined.

@drbarnard don’t worry, iOS 10 breaks their widget model anyway.

@scottaw How so? Widgets still work for me in iOS 10.

@scottaw I think widgets can be taller when the app is built for iOS 10

@drbarnard You gotta at least laugh at it.

@Pgruneich Not at that point yet. Especially not with Launcher.

@drbarnard I doubt it gets uphill from this.

@Pgruneich Yeah, not looking great for those of us who did get decent SEO traction.

@drbarnard Also, this ad budget from indie devs won't go to Apple blogs and publications anymore.

@Pgruneich @drbarnard :(
