Popularity is Apple's relative 5–100 score of how often a term is searched in this store, not a search count. Most of the top terms are brand names, which you can't rank for. Look for the generic phrases (problems, activities, app types) that describe your app, then check how hard they are to rank for with the keyword popularity checker and follow your position every day with the keyword rank tracker.
