Looking at the "Top 50 Downloads", #2 is Pocket Tunes, with 12,490 downloads this month. That means 125 people who downloaded it, actually purchased it. Yes, this isn't entirely accurate; some software has a higher percentage of purchasers than others. That's a mere $1,868.75 in sales for the month. Subtract PGHQ's commission and that's $1,121.25. That's $6.00/hour if you do it full time for a year. Depressing.
Well, I wouldn't trust their statistics. Their system claims more than 15000 downloads this month for Sunrise, but the actual number is 1500-2000. Frankly, I don't see the point in displaying the number of downloads in the first place.

Summer is the worst period in terms of general software sales, so this might not be the best time to take a measurement.
