I'm not sure, it's only 50 promocodes per update, so on it's own that's not going to make much of a difference.

It's all about what you ask in return for your promocodes. Make it a contest, share on Twitter, follow on Facebook, also, these people might show your app to others which in turn results in more downloads. Make the promocode thread look good, even when you've ran out of promocodes people might still buy your app.

Make sure you pitch your app nicely so it will get noticed (especially the top-tier ones).
Yes (and thank you for the list; I had it on my bookmarks as well). I hired a team to help do the outreach for me; I got a few genuinely nice responses (2-3) that ended up with some nice write-ups, while the small group that I heard back from ended up being pitches for paid reviews, a large majority of which appeared to have unfavorable ROI prospects.

So far, press releases and contest/giveaways have been the biggest help for my downloads.

Interesting article on the number of downloads needed to get in the top 25 for certain gaming categories:

Hello sir
Congratulations for the new app
If you want a cheap advertising for your app please checkout my list and my profile on freelancer.com
http://goo.gl/JZn1V
if you wanna use my services please contact me on
Doooya@me.com
I don't provide app store reviews any more as they are very risky and illegal and mostly will get your apple developer account disabled and your apps will be removed from app store
Also these days apple remove all fake reviews posted from fake accounts (accounts not connected with apple devices)
So only I deliver only legitimate ways of marketing as
1- create a n attractive html email to use it for review requests (this email gets instant response from the support )check the attached sample for 15$
2-Submission of your app to 400 app review sites for 210$
This insure good increase in your sales and provide life long exposure to your app
3-Press writing and distribution to over 700 app sites and newspapers
Only for 60$
4-posting in application forums with your app link in my signature (each post for 0.75$)
5-twitting many posts including your app link to my 2300 followers all are interested in applications (each tweet for 0,15$)
6- promo codes give away(only for paid apps)
This is a very good promotion way which will improve your app sales as when a user download your app using a promo code placed on some sites your app link automatically posted on their Facebook and twitter page so all of his friends and followers will see your app
Need all available promo codes
Price(50$)
