Does setting a paid app that is currently selling everyday free for a few days boost or decrease sales in your experience? I'd appreciate people's opinions.

Got 50.000 Downloads in 2 days, and sales for the next 2 or 3 weeks Doubled or Tripled, So it was a good strategy for me.

downloads go crazy on free stuff and the trick is to do it for just a day or two.
If you offer it any longer, even the free downloads will taper off (in my experience at least).
The plus side is that tons of web sites will pick up the price change.
The minus side is that (i think) you will lose the N&N rating? Maybe someone else can confirm this?

My plan is to try to following:
1. Free for 1-2 days
2. Release lite as soon as free period is over
This way people who see that the price is back on and will not want to buy, might go for the lite version instead of not downloading at all.
What do you guys think?
I've just made one of my apps free, it has gamecenter(non-gs) so I'm going to use the leaderboard as a tell of how many are downloading, hopefully it will be alot. setting back to paid after a few days.
Also businesses lower prices everyday, it is just part of life.
If Pro, don't Spawn Actor that have iAds.
Else, Spawn actor with iAds.
But now we don't have in App in Gs.
Cheers.
