@jamesthomson @tapbot_paul also using “negative keywords” to ensure we don’t accidentally show in competitor searchhttps://twitter.com/Padraig/status/781918060076601345 …
The App Store search ads keyword config suggests the trademarks of other companies by default… I declined, @tapbot_paul.pic.twitter.com/xES8K6wwoW

@prendio2@tapbot_paul@Padraig Oh, that’s a good idea! -
@jamesthomson@prendio2@tapbot_paul@Padraig Devil's Adocate: Isn't the point of advertising to reach new audiences? - View other replies

@agiletortoise@prendio2@tapbot_paul@Padraig Or, the point of advertising is to make money for advertising companies :)

@jamesthomson it is also simply illegal in certain countries to advertise with somebody else’s trademark! -
@sarnau Which countries? -
@jamesthomson I think Germany is tricky. A good start might be to look at lawsuits with competitors names in Google Adwords. DE has some. -
@sarnau Might explain why ads are US only for now.

@prendio2 did you use a USD$ credit card to set it up? My account is fixed at GBP… -
@marcpalmerdev haven’t actually set it up yet. Gonna sort it this afternoon - View other replies

@prendio2 OK. It doesn’t accept debit cards, and the docs say you have to have account set to USD$. Not clear if that is card or Ads a/c

@jamesthomson@tapbot_paul that's.. not good.

@jamesthomson@tapbot_paul they're trying to force competition, raise bidding and in the end, there is only one winner. -

@jamesthomson@tapbot_paul Because PCalc > Calcbot on all platforms…?
*grabs popcorn* -
@t87@tapbot_paul Not what I was saying! -
@jamesthomson@tapbot_paul
I know but I’m saying it: PCalc is far superior IMHO than Calcbot, while Tweetbot in unbeatable. 
you both!

@jamesthomson@tapbot_paul that is some indie love right there. -
-
@jamesthomson@tapbot_paul@gaborbukovics It suggested a competitor for me too. I think it just lists people’s searches that led to sales? -
@jamesthomson@tapbot_paul@gaborbukovics Removing all app names might not work. There’s probably an app called ‘calculator’. -
@jamesthomson@tapbot_paul@gaborbukovics So it’s up to us to not abuse it. Luckily the app store is free of scams and fraudsters… /o\
