"Success in software business depends also on how visible the software product is; we understand this at Avangate and we have already been supporting software vendors with hands-on articles, presentations, interviews, white papers and one-to-one complimentary business consultancy. Now we are happy to launch a brand new series of free tools, starting with a PAD Validator and a PAD Promoter," announces Cristian Badea, chief information officer at Avangate. "The free tools launched today provide the necessary impulse any software business needs to enjoy reasonable presence on the web and increase download and revenue opportunities,"
Avangate PAD Validator helps software vendors get the most of their PAD file submissions. Valid PAD files help software products get higher rates of listing success on download portals, therefore increasing downloads and software sales. The tool is designed by Avangate according to the official PAD specifications 3.01 (http://www.padspec.org/
Avangate PAD Promoter automatically submits software PADs previously reviewed by the Avangate PAD Validator to 50 download sites. Most importantly, it keeps a log of submitted files and provides detailed submission reports so that software vendors can see at any point where their products are visible. Avangate PAD Promoter is an exclusive free tool designed to spare time and effort for software vendors.
"By creating the Avangate Free Tools we want to introduce software vendors to the opportunities of the online distribution channel, at no costs on their behalf. The next step for a successfully promoted software business is an active web marketing strategy with manual software submission to the top ranked download portals, search engine optimization, editorial work and pay per click advertising campaigns," says Adriana Iordan, web marketing manager at Avangate.
Avangate PAD Validator and Avangate PAD Promoter are available as of now on http://www.avangate.com/
