Yeah, I also went with prMac after reading this article. It's too early to tell whether it helped at all with sales, but I can now Google my name or "Pogg" and I see my press release everywhere, so they've definitely got a great distribution network. I'm even getting contacted by a couple of app sites as a result - usually asking if I'm interested in advertising on their site rather than "Pogg looks great, we want to review it", but hey at least it means that app review sites are getting the news and are interested enough in contacting me.

I don't think the prMac stuff helped from the point of view of sales, but I still think it was a good thing to do as hopefully we will start being noticed by the press. Hopefully by the time we release our next product people will be saying 'Hmm I've come across these guys before'.

I'm close to finishing a kids game for the iPhone and am starting to think about the pre-release hype side of things. The prMac idea is an interesting one - I've been so focussed in how _I'm_ going to raise awareness that I've forgotten about the professional marketing people who'd probably do a much better job, and have far wider reach than I do.

Good luck with Balcassa :)
