Does backlinks affects ASO

You mean SEO, SEO means Search Engine Optimization and yes backlinks affect serps you can't rank high in the serps without backlinks.
 
Apps search optimizing is different and seo is different. downloads and reviews and ratings increase aso while backlinks increase serp. So answer is no.
 
ASO is different then SEO, When you create any backlink in SEO it effects your website but in ASO downloads and app reviews effect your app value, rating and ranking.
 
Unlike in SEO, where backlinks remain the undisputable king, but in ASO, downloads and app reviews effect your app value, rating and ranking.
 
I don't think backlinks affect ASO. You have to promote your app for good ranking. Backlinks are only used for SEO because it just need a click or visit to site.
 
No. Backlinks don't affect ASO, it just affect the app store where app is placed.
For good ranking of apps you will need reviews, etc.
 
The mentions in other websites is an off-metadata factor. It would help to become a featured App
 
Hi! To my mind, the main thing, which affects your ASO, is keyword research. I would recommend you to promote your android apps by keywords.

Let me tell you how apps promotes on the Google Play Store by keywords.

When user enters his search request, he uses keywords. Then in the list of applications he offered, there will be those that contains the given keyword in the description, title, etc. Google sorts them by the number of downloads by users who used these words in their request. Accordingly, the more downloads your application for a certain keyword, the higher it is in the ranking when searching. Promotion by keywords is more efficient and usually less expensive for developers. The promotion itself becomes directional, so you target the chosen audience.

Here I offer you some steps to put in order your keywords:

· You can pick up keywords to your app with the help of such services, as SearchMan, ASOdesk, AppAnnie and many others.

· You have to choose the right keyword, be wise and select it if you can compete with other apps that use it.

· Those who will read your app description are real humans, so don’t stuff it only with keywords.

· Your app’s title should be memorable, it must involve your chief keywords.

· Keep in mind that appstores in different countries require separate keyword research. Maybe you should include local phrases, slang.

As ASO Specialist on Fiverr, my opinion is that backlinks are not directly related to ASO Search. But in Google SEO for apps, backlinks have a more significant impact. If more popular domains are pointing to your app, the more visibility your app get in search of Google. What will result in more clicks and downloads and indirect will affect your ASO rankings. Feel free to contact more for further help.
 
Legend has it that backlinks impact ASO keywords rankings of Google Play Store.

In other words, an Android app that receives links from different websites, will improve in Google Play search rankings. Till now, all OK.

This hypothesis has always been there. I haven’t found much information about ASO and backlinks. In that study, different link building strategies have been implemented to 4 apps in order to measure the results.

Strategies used:

- GSA or RankerX
- Fiverr link building packages
- BlackHatWorld link building packages (I guess, PBNs, profile links, web 2.0, etc)
- Manual links from sites like Quora, Reddit, etc.
 
ASO is different from SEO .Backlinks increase in SERP but Downloading and reviews is increase in ASO.
