greetings
i'm sorry if this is against any of xda rules, or shouldn't be posted here. but i'm an android developper having a top app in my country (1 million + downloads on play store) and the thing is every time my app seems to be top app, google removes it and sends me a warning + they suspend my account. i'm pretty sure the app is virus free, and does not contain any privacy violation. in fact there are several other apps offering the same features ( or at least trying to ) and i cant contact google from a 3rd world country.
i'm not sure if a competitor is running a script on the report page , or google removes it by mistake. could any of you guys help me try to figure this out?
PM me for further info
thanks

I'm pretty sure that if you are able to create an app and publish it "from a 3rd world country" then you are more than able to contact Google and resolve this yourself.
Sir that is a strong title, Please take it up with Google.
Thank you & Thread closed.

Hi. Of course, the greatest number of application installs is brought by market.android.com, but its structure doesn’t let new applications get into the top. It’s like a circle: the more installs come to market.android.com, the higher the position of the application in the top is and the more installs appear on market.android.com again. And vice versa – if there are few installs, your application is not in the top, therefore no more installs appear.
It turns out that at first you have to make an effort to push your app to the top of market.android.com. But where can you get these first application installs? There are sites with the reviews of android-apps in the network: large and small, free and commercial. As I noticed they give a good start to the applications which get into the top of new applications of market.android.com afterwards. Here is the list of sites that I’ve found:
Mod edit... Links Removed as several are Warez
I apologize for the unsorted list – I still have no idea how to arrange it.
Please share some more sites where you can place your own android-application.
Nice list..some are new to me..most are not, but great compilation..
Thanks.

Wow, thanks! That's what I've been searching for.
True, the Market got it wrong somehow.
Nice. thx!

Thank you for the list. I know this is an old post, but wouldn't it be a good idea to merge all the posts with sites where we can submit our apps to so there would be a long list (maybe stickie)?
I went in and gathered the list of sites that were posted here and on other sources with android sites(in total 96 sites), which should be helpful to contact for those that want to promote their apps. The doc is available here: docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AmgWd2EGIn1LdDhWalp3c0RWNE1taWlycVdKbERjR0E&usp=sharing
A new review site
A young app review is AppDorado.com
You are guaranteed to get a review there, if you write a review of another app yourself.

But unfortunately this is a warez site.....
Yes, that's a warez site, a mod should remove that post. Though as a strategy if you have a free app maybe it's a thing to contact the warez sites, they might get some traffic.

Hello to all,
I released my first free Android App on Play Store.
My concern is that it'll may be removed because of fake/invalid reviews or similar.
The following reviews are considered valid or they can cause its removal or an account ban form the Play Store?
- I rate my own App with the same account used as developer
- My wife/colleagues/kindred rate my App with their personal Google account using the same IP I use to login in the Play Console
- My colleagues rate my App with their personal Google account using the same IP I use to login in any Google service (e.g. Gmail, Drive, ...)
- Rate from users set as App tester in the previous version of the App inside a close group (alpha), independently of the IP used
I already searched for an official information on the Web, without success.
(Please tell me If I posted in the wrong/inappropriate forum or directly move this question to the right place for me)
Thanks a lot!

Let the community of users that download the app make their own legitimate reviews. Let your work speak for itself, don't try to cheat. If your app is worth its salt, you won't need to pad your app's description with false reviews on its Playstore page.

You completely misunderstood my question.
I have that concern in order to avoid any Google policy violation, not to violate them!
I'll never try to cheat.
So, please post a new answer.
Thanks

Sorry, I guess I don't see the reason for your concern. If you are aware of the things that are considered violations and if you don't do those things, what is the problem?

The problem may occurs when till I operates following the Google policies, others (e.g. a colleague) post a review to my App using the same IP I use to login to the Play Console (even if I asked them to don't do it).
In this case, Google may think that there is a link between my account and his (due to the same IP), so Google may think that I created a second account for that purpose.
The same problem occurs if you click on an Adv from the same IP used by the developer: in this case you can also incur a suspension of the account!
I hope I have been clearer.

I get it, but, what are you really wanting to ask/know? We can't do anything to prevent your colleagues, friends and family from posting reviews from your IP so what are you asking for? What do you really need from us?

Let's say I have an app for my restaurant chain and I want to display banner ads on my android app. I want to use my own ads, local partners with who I have some deals. I don't want to use Google ads because I really don't see the point. I just want to advertise some of my local partners. It will be something like a small banner ad on the app pages.
Does Google Play Store allows me to use my own ads on my Android app?

I asked them on the forum link above and they said: Your question seems to be of a more technical/development oriented nature, and it would be better suited in forums like StackOverflow or XDA.
