As a new iPad owner, I immediately set out on an online journey to found out what the “cool” apps were. I ventured over to the tech kings like Mashable and Mac|Life, I took my chances on Google SERPs, and the result turned out to be pretty amazing, especially for someone who can’t fathom paying for apps.

Technology and electronics are advancing faster than even be documented. By the time a new a new TV or computer is purchased, it’s a mere months before the newest model has come out, dwarfing the former in comparison. At the rate electronics are growing, it doesn’t take a rocket surgeon to figure out that number will only multiply. Our capabilities, as Buzz Lightyear would say, will soar to infinity and beyond.
A few months ago I was at a family gathering, learning about family history and generational gaps, a normal topic for the ages. My grandmother told me a story, about her own grandmother (my great, great grandmother) on the invention of the train. Her lifetime, she told my grandma, had seen so much, that there was no way the world could possibly keep up. She’d seen indoor plumbing, the electric iron, TVs, and automobiles have made a huge transformation. Clearly, the rest of the world would never see what she’d seen; they’d see more.

As a new iPhone owner (made the switch last week after my HTC Evo speaker was going in and out and got into some shady malware apps), I was eager to download all the existing apps I had on my Android, as well as finally download all the games and apps clients, friends, and business colleagues are telling me to check out. I’ve been sucked into Draw Something and Scramble With Friends makes my heart happy.
All my app downloads made me start thinking, “When does a person love an app enough to buy it?” I have never bought an app, rather preferring to exit out of ad screens or closing my browser quickly when I accidentally do click on a banner ad. But this minor inconvenience has never bothered me enough to actually purchase the paid version.

For those who enjoy watching comedies – or those who are occasionally roped into watching a flick they didn’t choose – you’ve undoubtedly seen Wedding Crashers, a 2005 film starring Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson. The two characters, friends since childhood, are skilled wedding “crashers,” meaning they attend post-nuptial parties – sans invitation – for the sole intention of meeting women. And it works. But, chances are the rest of us don’t have the same smooth-talking skills (and when I say “smooth talking” I mean “ability to lie”), or the same access to wedding schedules that the magic that Hollywood scripts can provide. Well, fret no more. Thanks to the ever-growing creativity of app writers, there is now a way to find pre-crashed weddings via technology.

Although it is a fairly new platform, mobile applications are growing in the thousands every year, most with free and/or paid versions. The free versions usually have ads to cover the development costs and eventually produce a revenue.
Even though mobile applications can bring in thousands in revenue for developers and companies, the thought of using SEO for application descriptions seems very rudimentary and even “Black Hat” when compared to the traditional online SEO applications that we use for websites. Many application descriptions include keywords at the end:
