iTunes SEO

[Ed Casey]

Hi All,

I am having problems submitting an update to an App that contains keywords that include trademarked words. I believe Apple will also apply these restrictions to apps who's keywords contain the name of another app.

Has anyone come up against this issue and found a way around these restrictions using other SEO techniques?

Cheers,
Ed

No way around restrictions, you can't use trademarked words that you don't own the rights to, or the names of competing apps. The best 'optimisation' is to use words to describe what your app does. Think what is a potential customer likely to search for.

The reasoning for the restriction is fine. I was just wondering how in some cases other apps manage to get around this.
