Hi Folks,
I released some free software this weekend and uploaded it to
VersionTracker & MacUpdate. This morning, I received two emails,
one from "Softtonic" and the other from "Softpedia" -- they are
download sites (one is European) and both added my software to
their archives and grabbed some images off my software webpage and
stamped their logo on it.
Just a question for those who've been down this road before: Is
this normal or standard practice? Are these sites reputable? ie.,
I'm OK with VersionTracker and MacUpdate, which is why I chose to
post there, but if I only uploaded my software to one and not the
other, would VersionTracker or MacUpdate have automatically grabbed
my software listing from the other?
Yes, many software resource sites grab info from other sources.
Softpedia is OK with me. Also, other sites will index your software
titles shortly.
If you're looking for more downloads, I suggest:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/
which delivers more traffic than VersionTracker (in my case) and of
course, the RealBasic showcase:
