For me, I think you should simply be reasonable and make sure that your images and app description to their job and help you communicate to your audience. Google is like this too- marketers find some tactic to fool the search engine and it lasts maybe a month.

I can't remember the details but basically it was to prevent certain developers from just listing every popular app name in their app description. You still see these apps now. Their actual app description is short and then they have the following (regardless of what their app does) sexy Girls Pocket God Flight Control etc. etc. etc Anyway I do believe that making your App description relevant to your App using keywords does work but be wary for example, if there is an app called "wine journal" and you use the same keyword...you may find it negatively effects where you appear in the search list. Caveat - Apple may well have changed things again. They are forever tinkering with the store. Apple made some changes to way the App Store Search worked.
