I see programs on google for this but non seem too "legit" does anyone know of a great way to do this? I want to submit my shareware/freeware to many sites.
PADexpress may be useful for this. But still many shareware sites will not accept such automation submission. So the best way is a manual submission.
The first think you need to do is create a PAD File. PAD files contain information like software name, description, screen shot link, download location etc.. all in a formatted XML file. You can find more information here: How to Create a Software PAD File - http://www.developer-resource.com/how-to-create-a-pad-file.htm Then you can either manually submit the PAD file to download sites or you can use software like RoboSoft to automatically submit it to the download sites. The benefit of sites that support PAD is that they just poll the PAD files for updates you do not need to resubmit.
Yep - it depends on if you are talking about submitting "pad" files, if so, just search for PAD submission software on google...
Great advice guys! Could any one give me any hints as to what sites get you some really good traffic for your software/game?
