Similar apps

[hookshy]

Have you similar apps and you noticed any changes lately ?
Does google changed the visibility of similar apps ?

As a fact I did tried to make duplicate apps to increase revenue ...it worked only if the app is published from another developer account in this way I did not create confusion about this new similar app policy .

Please share your experience

there are some people that abuse this method.

I mentioned it before for some bubble shooter & match-3 games.

You can see it on the icon alone that it's the same thing even their publisher name is almost identical but with fake addresses.

For me they can remove all their accounts accept one as they take 5+% of the 250 items of visibility for them which leaves others less chances on success.
