Shareware Tracker has complete solutions for shareware developers who wish to submit their applications to the many download web sites for review and listing.
Shareware Tracker is not only automates much of the submission process, but keeps track of what is listed and where, including version information, number of downloads, etc.
Submitting and checking on the various sites is quick and easy, while allowing the developer complete control over the process. Maximum exposure is achieved by submitting frequent updates and Shareware Tracker makes this possible even with hundreds of sites.
Includes 224+ web sites preconfigured for semi-automatic or automatic submission and tracking.
Auto-update feature automatically adds new sites to the database as they are made available on our web server. We plan to add new sites until all useful web sites are included.
New sites will be added on an almost-daily basis. The developer may choose which sites to include in their own tracking process, and may completely hide those sites which are not useful to them.
Keep control of the submission process but greatly simplify it and save lots of time. You will able to get a maximum exposure and also increase your links' popularity with several search engines.
Here are some key features of "Shareware Tracker":
· Uses PAD files for project description information.
· Comes preconfigured for over 400 (and growing) download sites. As sites are added on our server, they will be automatically downloaded to the user's local Shareware Tracker database whenever the program is started, or manual updates can be performed as required. The evaluation edition is limited in the number of sites that can be searched and submitted to.
· Semi-automatic registration on sites that require an account to be established. Set up a default username and password that is used by default when registering or logging in to a new site. If you enter a different username and/or password in the registration form Shareware Tracker will automatically record it for you to be used for future logins.
· Automated login to sites that require authentication. Once an account with a download site is established, the login information is recorded in the Shareware Tracker database so that future logins are automatic. A default username and password can be used for logging in to sites for which you have not entered any login information.
· Automatic or semi-automatic submission process. In many cases this means navigating to the site's submission page and automatically filling in their submission form with all applicable information from the project's PAD file. In some cases it completes the entire submission process. Fields on submission forms that cannot be filled in from your PAD file, such as category, can be remembered by Shareware Tracker when submitting a form and automatically filled in for you when submitting future updates.
· Track submission details such as date and version submitted.
· One-click site search. No need to find search page and type in search terms. A click of a button is all it takes!
· One-click tracking status update. Stores information such as URL, date and version of a listing.
· Site filter. Create your own filters which can be saved and restored for easy categorization. For example create a filter that only lists sites to which the program has been submitted but not yet listed. Or only show sites whose listing isn't up-to-date (based on version). Many more filters possible.
· For sites that aren't yet automated, use easy copy-and-paste or draggable form fields for quickly filling fields from PAD file.
· Built-in web browser (see minimum requirements) designed for submitting and tracking project listings. Makes the whole process quick and painless!
· Uses powerful Advantage Database Local Server for great performance and reliability yet with a relatively small footprint.
· Powerful data export function - not available in evaluation version.
