Nice. Congrats on getting your live app in the store. It is a great way to get hobby projects out in the open. Plus I get nice sense of completion when the app goes live.

Sometime soon I'll post a sales breakdown for my latest app. For me getting reviews written on sites like MacLife and AppAdvice made all the difference for sales.

How so? The initial traffic from those sites? Other sites picking up the story? Ongoing SEO benefits?

The review from App Advice generated enough sales to push Commit (http://thinklegend.com/commit) into the top 25 productivity apps. Which got it even more sales.

Unfortunately I can't tell how many came from App Advice, only the total number of sales that day (600).
