    I don't know a lot about it ,but in my opinion, I think you should pay attention to the game product's descriptions,and then post this new release advertisements on much famous BBS website to attract game players...

    Hi,
    It's really, REALLY hard to get noticed mate (I know this from personal trail and error).
    You should try going on to the various iPhone websites and posting in the forums there. If you have a twitter account, start tweeting about your game there with #Free #Game #iPhone tags and ask people to re-tweet it.
    Start searching for blogs that that show an interest in iPhone games and e-mail the people there.

    At the moment, we have just released our games for free until Monday as well.
    Solitaire Siege (Ave Review 8/10):

    GoGo Tunnel Runner (Universal App) Ave Review 4/5:
    http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/gogo-tunnel-runner/id438040046?mt=8Hope

    Sorry for the self promotion, but it needs to be done =)
    So far, GoGo Tunnel Runner has been downloaded over 12,000 times and Solitaire Siege over a 1,000 times and that was just through tweeting and mentioning it on here in the Thanks Giving Sales article.
    I'm not making any money out of it (I think GoGo Tunnel Runner made $4 from IAP (which is split between 3 of us), so no one minds if your game is free and it relates to the article.

    Marketing really does seem to be a full time job thou =(

    Hope that helps you a bit mate.

    Cheers,
    Mike.
