    Hello

    I developed a small application and a homepage for it. I already entered it in some software directories, but need a few tips on further marketing.
    It features a free and and a paid version.

    page: www.drinkprog.com

    Thx in advance

    Try to get features on software sites like Softpedia, MajorGeeks, Download.com, etc.

    You've already missed a good way - why not include it in your signature here? :)

    I tried at majorgeeks and download.com. Both didn't add it without any reason. :(
    You can have a signature after 10 posts. I don't wanna spam the forum to recieve this. When the time comes :)

    Maybe they decided it wasn't good enough. Try to improve it and submit again.
    The traffic these sites receive is amazing and it would be a great promotion for you.
    Check some smaller software sites as well.

    Maybe use something like PAD submitter to submit your software to lots of software sites..

    I havent used these or have experience with PAD but i know you create a kind of xml file with software details..

    Have a look here (I searched and found this.. not responsible for content..) hxxp://www.newfreedownloads.com/find/submit-pad.html

    Or search yourself ;)

    http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=submitting+pad+to+software+sites

    best of luck!

    p.s. Also submit to Alcohol related forums.. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&ct=result&cd=1&q=alcohol+forums&spell=1

    Indeed! Isn't it amazing? I wonder do they get paid to feature some of the crap you find there...
