A living census of apps
Censuus is a permanent record of great, little known apps drawing visits, gathered in one place and ranked by visits plus sponsorship.
The census in numbers
First-party counts from the live census, not estimates.
Censuus counts two things in the open: page views, and sponsorship that adds points on top. Gather traffic and you climb; sponsor and you climb too. Every count is first-party and public.
A place is simple to read. Your page views are points, one view is one point. Sponsorship adds points on top, and nothing decays, so the ranking is just an honest total that anyone can check.
Where the attention goes
Page views by category across the whole census.
Views become store taps
Across every app, this is how many page views went on to a store tap. Taps are shown for context, never scored.
How a place is earned
Your place is the sum of two honest numbers. No pay-to-pin, no decay, nothing hidden.
The total never decays. The place you earn is the place you keep until the numbers change.
Store taps are shown for context and are never scored.
Store taps are shown next to each app so you can see how many visitors went on to the store, but a tap never changes a rank. It is context, not currency.
Every app keeps a permanent, indexable page. The census never forgets an app: list it once and it stays online forever, gathering visitors month after month.
