I don't think you have to pay to have app reviews written on many sites, and the ones that do charge are not going to give an honest opinion.

We spend a budget buying banner and it was totally useless

For us the best way to promoting our app was having reviews in our local iphone webs

I promote my own website using Search Engine marketing. It is a process to increase the traffic of your website and popular your business, website.. etc in search engines. It give the surety to show your website in top results related to your targeted keywords searches because you pay to search engines. In which you need not to use any Off-page activity like link building.. etc. You can advertise and promote your products, websites.. etc in two ways
* Text ad
* Image or banner ad

In my opinion,By doing press release and getting reviews from the review sites will be more helpful to increase the app downloads.

Should include everything in the right combination. That is what will be called a proper marketing strategy.

You really don't need to pay for YouTube reviews if you put some time into it. I started out as a YouTube reviewer, and I can tell you that there are hundredds of 13 year old kids that would be happy to give your app a review in return for a promo code.

I haven't had an app release din quite some time due to schoolwork, but from what I've heard, press releases are still the most effective.
