Humm.. I just got an email (directly sent to my @users.sf.net account) that aMSN was added to downloadroute.com and another about dodownload.com submission received and waiting approval and a final about dodownload.com approving aMSN and adding it to their website... Problem is.. I never asked any site to do this.. so is there some amsn-fan out there posting about us on every download site he knows? if yes, why would he give MY personal email as reference ? This could explain the sudden interest from BrotherSoft.. and I'm afraid we might get a lot of sites telling us the same.. and I don't want any more 'awards' or backlinks to any other site that softpedia (because they seem serious, one is enough, they were the first, and they were there from a long time ago so no need to remove them now...).
