Industrial-Grade Software Advertising System for Only $52 a Month

ROSTOCK, Germany. May 20, 2011: GSA Rostock today announces the immediate availability of GSA Auto SoftSubmit 7.25. Developed especially for submission to software archives, directories, and search engines, GSA Auto SoftSubmit provides a complete professional software promotion system that is easy to use. A professional PAD editor is also included into the program, which eliminates the need for external editors, such as PADGen.

The create it and they will come strategy doesn’t work unless you promote your product proactively, says Sven Bansemer, managing director, GSA Rostock. Submission of products to online archives is an essential part of effective Internet marketing. It gives more visibility to your product, drives traffic to your website and increases sales. What’s more, you gain better ranking in search engines thanks to the backlinks to your site. But engaging someone to do the submission can be costly and ineffective. I myself have been through this for to long and want to spare you from sharing that same bad experience by offering GSA Auto SoftSubmit so that you could take full control over submission and results you get.

Submitting a software is as easy as making a few clicks. You have everything a professional submission service has: the database, contacts, tools to target your submission campaign everything already inside one small application sitting on your desktop and ready to submit. This way you just click Submit and move on with the next thing.

The core of GSA Auto SoftSubmit is the database, which is the largest and most current in the market - over 9000 submission sites and it keeps on growing. Today, there are no services that can offer the database like that. Another best thing in GSA software is the submission speed. Because it handles multiple threads, the software submits to multiple sites simultaneously, which in practice is as many as over 100 submissions a minute. The URL addresses in the database never grow old as the product is updated several times a month via the Internet.

The application allows you to bypass antispam technics like image code verification. Once it detects a CAPTCHA form, it will analyze and automatically submit it. It will asks you to enter the letters and digits and then submits, if the automatic recognition of the captcha failed.

GSA Auto SoftSubmit is pretty easy to use. Just run the product and in the window with a list of submission sites, check all or any of the listed sites and click the Submit button. The program will then begin submitting your application.


Pricing and Availability

GSA Auto SoftSubmit 7.25 runs on Microsoft Windows 95 and upwards and starts at $52 (USD) a month. Registered users get free technical support and upgrades. More information on the product, as well as its free evaluation copy is available from www.gsa-online.de.

		<Title>Four Easy Methods for Good Software Promotion</Title>
		<Summary>This article will give people some help on how to sell more of his software products. In fact it can be a hard task making a product known to others. It can be the best software in the world but your competitors will always win if you do not do some marketing.</Summary>
		<Body>Developing a software product is often more easy then getting it soled. In fact it can be a hard task making your product known to others. It might be the best software in the world but your competitors will always win if you don't do some public relations.

In this article I will show you how you can sell much more of your product while still not spending much money. This is even more important when your products have a low price.

There are basically four ways to make your product known.



1.SEO - Search Engine Optimization

SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization. It is a very complex topic and requires a lot knowledge. But once you are into it, you will agree that this is the most cost efficient way. There are a lot great web sites like www.seochat.com who teach you all about SEO in detail. SEO is all about optimization of your homepage. If you optimize your products web site and place enough keywords into it, take care of the HTML syntax and rules, then customers will find your product much easier when they use a search engine like Google, Yahoo or alike.


2. Software Submission

The easiest way to get more visitors is to submit your product to download and software web sites. This way you will have your software listed on more then your own web site. The customers may not directly get the product from you but from the download site who will then (depending on your order system) get a percentage from your profit (see chapter 4 Payment provider).
It can be very time consuming to submit your software since you have to fill out a lot of web forms with details about your product. This is a very boring task of account creation, validation by mail, captcha codes input and so on. You can avoid this by either letting some submission company do this or by using utilities that will do it all for you. I would always chose the tool solution since then you have full control over the submission process. I have used several products over the years and must say that there are basically three to chose from; RoboSoft, PromoSoft and &lt;a href="http://software.submission.gsa-online.de/"&gt;GSA Auto SoftSubmit&lt;/a&gt; (www.gsa-online.de).

Robosoft is known for having many options in it like Dynamic PAD or RSS Submission. Anyway most of these options are useless and hardly ever used by normal software submission.

PromoSoft is better in my eyes since it has more web sites to submit to that RoboSoft and the interface is much cleaner. But all in all both software solutions do the same job.

However I have been using GSA Auto SoftSubmit recently and it works far better then the other two. It can submit your product to more then one site at a time (multi threading), resulting in a much faster submission. The GUI is much easier to use  and more simple. And the best of all is, that it has more then 9000 submission sites in it. Thats more then twice as much as RoboSoft and PromoSoft have included. Unfortunately not all of the sites are download submission sites. Anyway as long as it lists your application in the correct category (Computer:Software for the directory submissions) it doesn't matter.

This is by far the most easiest and efficient advertising method. But as always, there is a disadvantage. All of the products above require a registration code to be fully functional. But in my eyes it is worth the money since you will sell much more of your product than before.


3. PPC - Pay per Click

PPC means Pay per Click. This might work for you if the costs for your software are not to low and if it is not a niche product like ebook only. The best known PPC system is probably Adwords from Google. It has relatively high costs but since all your promotion is visible on the most widely used search engine, it is worth it. Once you have successfully done some SEO you can cut the costs for this promotion solution and probably stop advertising with it. It's a fine solution to be visible very quickly without much extra work. Of course the costs can grow very quickly as well. But having a try with Adwords is a good idea. It can't hurt.


4. Payment provider

You might have a payment providers already since you sell software online. A lot people use PayPal but it is not that good when it comes to software. Most buyers still like to pay with credit card and without having to care about a PayPal account. There are a lot payment providers especially designed for software developers. One of the best known providers is RegNow. There are many more and also much cheaper providers but this is probably the most used one. And there are good reasons to use RegNow. Not only that it can handle all tasks for the order process (create registration key, deliver software, create software on CD, ship the product by mail order, fraud protection...) but it can also be used to have your software being advertised by other RegNow affiliates. Once you have setup a product within your RegNow account, you can define how much of the profit another users gets if he promotes the product for you. This marketing is also part within other payment systems, but RegNow is accepted by many download sites. Your software will be listed on many other web sites automatically once you have setup your product.



Conclusion

There are many ways to promote your products online. None of the four discussed methods might work 100% for you but they are a start. Especially if you order a submission software like GSA Auto SoftSubmit you will get good results very quickly.</Body>
