Infomedia is the developer of iFart Mobile, an iPhone app that you can use to make farting noises. In just over a week of sales, iFart has done very well, going from #70 within the Entertainment section to becoming the 4th most popular app overall! Two days ago, Joel Comm (a popular Internet marketing expert in his own right) of Infomedia shared the sales figures for iFart along with the rankings. Then today he followed up with extra figures for today and yesterday.
Focusing solely on the ranking within the Entertainment category (see the blog posts above for more detailed info), the results are:
| Date | Rank in Entertainment | Daily Sales |
|---|---|---|
| Dec 12 | 70 | 75 |
| Dec 13 | 16 | 296 |
| Dec 14 | 8 | 841 |
| Dec 15 | 5 | 1510 |
| Dec 16 | 3 | 1797 |
| Dec 17 | 3 | 2836 |
| Dec 18 | 3 | 3086 |
| Dec 19 | 2 | 3117 |
| Dec 20 | 2 | 5497 |
Currently the border in rankings necessary to reach 1000 sales per day is between 76th and 39th overall in the App Store going off of Joel’s extended numbers so, roughly but considering the distribution, apps at #50 or above are probably selling 1000 units per day or more.
As an aside: As a 99 cent app and after Apple’s 30% commission, this means iFart has raked in $13,205 for Infomedia over 9 days.
