Yes, I have to say this is the secret sauce and that relevance is key. I have a friend who built his own system to cross promote his own apps. whenever he launches a new game- he sends notifications to all his current players (which is in the millions) prompting them to download it. By doing this he has pushed his apps to as high as the #1 spot (in the Free games category) in the entire app store!
After seeing his success, and gaiving me some pointers, we set out to create our own system and just 1 month into it, it's proven to be super successful.
Both of our games: "My Virtual Girlfriend Lite" and "My Virtual Boyfriend Lite" have over 3/4 million downloads. and we initiate burst ads (at the beginning of a game) and interstitial ads (during gameplay- replaces load screens), to promote others apps and help rank them up.
If any dev wishes to cross promote with me, (that have some relevance or similar target audience to my games), contact me.

In our first month we had 2 clients who i was able to double their rankings in the app store from a top 50 position to a top 25 position and each of them received nearly 100,000 impressions each and about 5000 clicks each in just 30 days.
There are 3 options i'm offering
Option A): A one time fee of $500.00 for 30 days (this includes both burst and interstitial ads).
Option B): $0.15 cpc rate (we can measure clicks and impressions)
Option C): Pure 1 to 1 trade, click per click
Other vendors will charge 3X - 5X what im asking. But since we are new, and still refining our system, we are offering this at a low price- and provided that you allow us to disclose our findings. its a great value
