In Detail:
When you order a promotion campaign using the on-line form on our site, your
promotion campaign is scheduled to start on a certain date. We do our best to
start working on your product as soon as possible. However, especially if you
are new to software submissions, discussing the issues found in your PAD file
and fixing them may take some time (about a week). We encourage you to place
your order early.
After submitting your order, you will be contacted by one of our Submission
Managers. The Submission Manager will tell you when we can start working on your
product. You will also receive instructions on how to prepare and optimize your
PAD file.
On the appointed date, our Submission Managers start checking your PAD file.
They will inform you about any issues they find. You should either fix the
issues or confirm to us that what we found is exactly what you intended. If your
PAD file is created and optimized according to our suggestions, we guarantee
that you'll get at least 230 listings on download sites even for a new product
that was never submitted before.
When any issues with your PAD file are settled, your product is then scheduled
for the actual submission process. Usually, there is a 1-2 day delay.
Prior to submission, our Submission Managers search all download sites for
existing listings of your product. They prepare a report ("Preliminary Report")
containing your product version info for every site in our database.
After that, the actual submission process begins. Submission Managers visit
download sites one-by-one. They use your existing author accounts where
possible. If there is an existing listing of your product on a site, our
Submission Managers will try to update it. Your product will be submitted to all
appropriate sites from our database.
The first submission round lasts up to a week. Immediately upon the end of the
first submission round, you will receive our "First submission report". It shows
the sites that already have your product listed.
In the next two weeks, our Submission Managers receive login info they requested
on download sites, confirmation links, etc. We encourage you to forward these
messages to us in a timely manner. Please do NOT click confirmation links. Simply
forward all these messages to us to handle for you.
The second submission round then begins. Our Submission Managers use login info
received and re-submit your product to the sites that were skipped for some
reason during the first round of submission.
After the second submission round, you will receive our "Final Submission
Report". In addition to the information about the listings of your product on
each download site, the "Final Submission Report" also includes all the login
info used. You can request this report in a range of formats (HTML, a
comma-separated list, RoboSoft data files, etc.)
