Comment on Ask HN. How does distribution work for iPhone Web app.

Comments

Getting listed in the Apple Webapp directory will help with SEO and while you're on page one.

Here's my webapp in the directory.. http://www.apple.com/webapps/sports/ridertech.html

After falling off page 1 in the directory, it'll provide very little traffic so you basically need to promote the iPhone-specific site via your other web/mobile/social apps.

If you have no existing user base or app traffic to draw from, you may want to build a simple mobile-xhtml site first because there are a lot more non-iPhone users. It also helps remove some of the design challenges and focuses your efforts on the core content paths.
