2009 update of my Free Pad Submitter

Filed under: Tools and scripts — Alan @ 4:16 am

I don’t mind paying for a service if it’s good enough to save me time, during which I’ll be able to make money.

But when the service becomes bad, I have to write my own tools.

This is why I had written my Free Pad Submitter in the first place, and this is why I have updated it now.

I had first made it for the project about screensavers, originally invented by Eli/Blue Hat SEO in 2006.

This project was not as easy and quick as Eli proposed, I had to add some twists to actually make money, and it took me quite some time before I could put it in use, so regarding the time spent, I had calculated that it would be considered profitable if it would be making money until the end of 2008. Well, guess what, I must say congratulations to Eli, because it still makes me money (without doing anything, it’s pure passive income).

Of course, since 2006, lots of people have done it, and now the field of screensavers is really saturated, but still I wanted to experiment a little bit with a couple of new screensavers to see the results.

This is why last month I have paid for a new licence to each of the 3 most popular pad submitters, and I was disappointed with the results : Almost 1000 submissions, and almost no results (99% of the sites where my screensavers are listed are shit).

So I checked my 2008 stats, to see where my screensavers where downloaded the most, then build my top-100 list of softwares repositories, and updated my Pad Submitter with this list.

So have fun with it, you can download it here
