Discuss alexudi's answer to: Software submission a way of promotion?

when you submit your software to download sites, most of them would ask you to provide the PAD file of your software, which includes the basic information about your company and the software, and URLs related to it (such as the URL of your company site and the download URL).

submitting software to as many download sites as possible would greatly increase the visibility of your software (many people who search for certain kinds of software on those sites would see your software and get an easy access to download it), and attract large volume of traffic from the download sites to your websites, which also will rank your websites high in the search results of search engines, like Google. Therefore, you can get more attention from the internet users and make it easier to reach out to your target customers.
