29 awesome websites to promote your web based applications

View all posts by Paul Anthony

I’ve been working hard on getting promotion, coverage and PR on our web based applications lately, and have stumbled upon some brilliant script directories and websites which provide free links if you offer products or scripts for sale, so for convience here’s the list as it stands. I’ll be keeping an eye on how quickly we get listed, and posting the findings at a later stage, so stay tuned with our RSS feed if you aren’t already.

HotScripts

Web Address: www.hotscripts.com

Pagerank: 7

Languages and Technologies: Ajax, ASP, NET, C and C++, Coldfustion, Perl, CGI , Flash, Java, JavaScript , PHP , Python, Remotely Hosted, Ruby on Rails

Hotscripts boasts over 1000 categories, so if you can’t manage to find a suitable place to submit your software there is something wrong, or you are going to be rich!

Scripts.com

Web Address: www.scripts.com

Pagerank: 7

Languages and Technologies: ASP NET , ASP Scripts, C and C++, Coldfusion, Java Scripts, JavaScript, Perl ,PHP , Python, Remotely Hosted

As you would expect from a site with as prolific a domain name as this, scripts.com is a huge site, with a good prescence online. Well worth submitting your warez here, especially considering they get so much traffic. Not too sure on that logo though. Dullsville.

411 ASP

Web Address: www.411asp.net

Pagerank: 6

Languages and Technologies: Exclusively ASP.NET

411ASP similarly to some of the PHP script directories caters exclusively for those developers who use just asp.net. Thankfully, we fall into that category, and have managed to get software listed, and visibile on Google within about a week.

Aspin

Web Address: www.aspin.com

Pagerank: 6

Languages and Technologies: Exclusively ASP

ASPIn has been around for a while, in fact it was one of my stop off points earlier in my programming career for free and useful ASP tips, hints and scripts. With the rise of ASP.NET as a language and the push from Microsoft in this arena, I imagine it will slowly stagnate, but if you are an ASP developer its a worthy place to submit your web applications. Its also a sister site to 411asp.net

Scripts Bank

Web Address: www.scriptsbank.com

Pagerank: 5

Languages and Technologies: PHP Scripts, ASP Scripts, Perl & CGI Scripts, JavaScript Scripts, ASP.NET, Remotely Hosted, Flash, C/C++, ColdFusion, Java, XML/XSLT

ScriptsBank has one of the more modern Web2.0 designs out of all the sites showcased. We found it easy to navigate around, and easy to find products.

Codango

Web Address: www.codango.com

Pagerank: 5

Languages and Technologies: JSP, ASP, ASP.NET, PHP

Codango.com the parent site, currently in Beta is a combination of some of the other sites featured, and includes microsites on the technologies listed. You will find some crossover with 411ASP and ASPIN, as from reading around this is what they will seemingly be rebranded under. Non the less, still worth getting a presence here.

FatScripts

Web Address: www.fatscripts.com

Pagerank: 5

Languages and Technologies: ASP, ASP.NET, C and C++ ,Cold Fusion, Flash , Java, JavaScript, Perl & CGI, PHP, Python and XML

I love fatscripts, mainly because the site is so useable, and not overloaded with adverts. Their branding is perfect for their domain, and the little fat sumo wrestler that is within their branding is well cool. You can expect almost instantaneous listings of your products upon entering them on the site.

Script Search

Web Address: www.scriptsearch.com

Pagerank: 4

Languages and Technologies: ASP, Ajax,Flash, Java, JavaScript, PHP, Perl, Python, Remotely Hosted, XML

Owned by internet.com, script search follows the cliche of blue links plastered everywhere, and a smattering of adverts. However despite that it does get considerable traffic through it’s doors, considering it is linked from other internet.com portals, and its pagerank certainly doesn’t reflect it’s traffic.

CGi Network

Web Address: www.cgi-network.net

Pagerank: 5

Languages and Technologies: ASP, Perl, Javascript, PHP

CGI Network offers reference materials as well as listing commercial and free scripts, although the language categories which they offer to submit into are a little limited to say the least, particularly for the Java and .NET guys.

Need Scripts

Web Address: www.needscripts.com

Pagerank: 3

Languages and Technologies: ASP, ASP.NET, C and C++, CFML, Flash, HTML, Java, JavaScript, Perl , PHP , Python , Remotely Hosted ,Visual Basic , XML

A dream of creating the World’s Largest Web Development Resource gave birth to Need Scripts in June 2002. Need Scripts is a integral part of Top Rank Position Network (TRPN), and according to Alexa at time of writing has a traffic rank of 170,171. As with the majority of the script directories listed here, need scripts allows voting on the top scripts.

123 ASPX

Web Address: www.123aspx.com

Pagerank: 5

Languages and Technologies: Exclusively ASP.NET

Ran by Dave Wanta - some of you may know him as .NET Dave or the genius behind System.WebMail, or Simply advanced software. Boy has *that* resource site been useful when using that library, and debuggging messages from the same. Anyway, 123 ASPX offers a number of useful features including a Submission manager to see what scripts you have submitted in the past. Definitely worth checking out.

Other notable mentions:

Web Scripts Directory

Web Address: www.webscriptsdirectory.com

Pagerank: 5

Languages and Technologies: ASP, Ajax,Flash, Java, JavaScript, PHP, Perl, Python, Remotely Hosted, XML

Web scripts directory is a minimal directory with regards to advertising and contents, but this can be a positive in getting your scripts found particularly as you will have little competition. Edit. Some visitors couldn’t submit to the site, as there was a MySQL error on the server.

CGI resource index:

Web Address: http://cgi.resourceindex.com

Pagerank:7

Languages and Technologies:- CGI only

Resource Index is a side project of Matt, of Matt’s script archive fame, and along with PHP resource index allows the submission of commercial CGI scripts. At time of writing there was over 3000 scripts in the archive. But does anyone actually use CGI anymore?

PHP resource index:

Web Address: http://php.resourceindex.com/

Pagerank: 7

Languages and Technologies:- PHP Only

As with the above, PHP resource lists only PHP scripts, but at time of writing there was roughly 1000 more scripts available in the index than there was in CGI resource index. A clever move to run on a subdomain, and share Pagerank. Incidently any scripts submitted are not no followed or linked from a redirect script.

Perl Archive

Web Address: http://www.perlarchive.com

Pagerank:6

Languages and Technologies: - Perl only

With perl being a technology that is supported on both Windows and Linux web servers, it has for a long time been popular with webmasters. Perl Archive have tapped into that popularity, and offer both commercial and free listings of scripts.

Big WebMaster

Web Address: www.bigwebmaster.com

Pagerank:7

Languages and Technologies:ASP, C and C++, ColdFusion, Flash, HTML ,Java, JavaScript, Perl, PHP ,Python ,Remotely Hosted, Unix Shell, Visual Basic, XML
