Cliff Simpkins, Product Manager for Windows Phone at Microsoft has posted this image which represents the Top 10k Paid Apps on Friday 18th May 2012. Now I don’t have the patience to check if there are 10k unique logos in there. But as a developer if you see your logo let us know the row and column number below ( in the comments ) . This being a paid app list our FREE 1800PocketPC App would not have made it in there.

Top Apps Windows Phone
We often hear that its difficult or close to impossible of getting your apps and games noticed on iOs / Android because of the tough competition and because of the sheer quantity of apps / games released. Which is why pushing your apps on to Windows Phone Marketplace could offer your app or game better exposure but is it really the case ?
One common thing you will notice if you try to look at the top apps on Windows Phone is that they most of them seem to have the xBox live tag up top their logo. There is not even one app in the top 10 when it comes to Windows Phone ( US Marketplace – click ) and just 2 non xbox live apps in the top 30 unlike the Android ( click ) and iOS ( click ) Top Apps chart where multiple apps seems to have risen up in the Top Paid Apps list.
We spoke to a few developers who sent us the following response

affiliate-marketing
According to participating members it seems that affiliates get between 8% and 12% of app purchases ( from Microsoft’s 30% cut and not from the devs 70% ) and most paid apps are available via the programme with the exception of xBox Live games ( that’s a bummer ) . It would seem some publishers are already invited to use this features eg ( improvisoft.com ) . If Microsoft is looking for more beta testers , feel free to shoot an invite our way and we look fwd to see this going public.

Seles Games will be launching a new app discovery tool called AppVegas .. we have seen quite a few apps like these from wp7applist, appflow, and an Australian version in the form of Developed Down Under. Even though such apps add one extra step to search for apps via the marketplace.. they do offer something valuable which is the reason why most of them seem to do well in the marketplace.
