The "trick" is to use iTunes Connect to update your release date to the current date as soon as Apple approves the app. But don't set it to a later date than the current date, or else your app will not appear in iTunes until that date.

We just launched PortfolioLive (real time stock quotes and portfolio management for your iPhone) in the Finance section and we are watching it move up the sales rank. Surprisingly after only a couple of days we are about to crack the top 50 in Finance … and we are anxious to do our own graph of rank vs. sales. BTW we were kinda screwed over by the “new app” list. We submitted on Jan 30 and went live on Feb 5. But our app went live and appeared on the new list in like 12th spot on Feb 5 down with the Jan apps. I think it has something to do with the go live date you select during iTunes Connect submission… -TuringStudios Great article with some great info.

Interesting to compare this to a US based attempt at the same thing. http://www.appcubby.com/blog/files/app_store_pricing.html Those numbers are most likely worldwide, but they suggest the ranking/sales is 100 times more at that level.
