Where should you submit your iPhone application? The iTunes App Store, of course! But, iTunes isn't the only game in town.

There are a growing number of 3rd-party application directory and review sites, similar to shareware directories, where you can further grow your application's popularity, traffic, and sales. Since no developer should keep all his eggs in one basket, below you'll find a complete list of iPhone application directories where you can submit your apps.

The directories are ranked by ease of submission, using the following guide: Sites ranked as an A contain an application submission form. Sites ranked as a B contain a general web contact form. Sites ranked as a C require submitting via email or other less automated processes. Sites ranked as a D do not generally accept submissions, but do provide contact information for potential reviews. So, go on out there, and promote your iPhone apps!

If you haven't tried RSS Submit to promote your RSS feeds, there's never been a better time than now!

We're excited to announce the latest version of RSS Submit 2.5, packed with over 100 RSS search engines and directories, and adding even more power than ever to one of the most popular RSS feed management tools available.

New RSS directories added to the latest version include FeedAgg, Million RSS, Feed Stumbler, FeedBoy, and more.

In addition to updating the fully automatic submission list, the semi-automatic list has been updated as well, to include some of the most popular RSS directories for gaining do-follow back-links to your RSS feed contents.

Download the free trial of RSS Submit and start bumping up your traffic. Registered users can upgrade for free.

FeedBurner was recently aquired by Google. As part of this change, FeedBurner accounts will be migrated to Google accounts within the next few weeks.

Google states that the change should generally be seamless and the same http://feeds.feedburner.com/yourfeed link will still work to display your RSS feed. The only difference you may find is with the FeedBurner Awareness feature, which is used to show traffic statistics for your feeds.



RSS Submit users who display FeedBurner traffic statistics in the software may wish to verify they've enabled the Awareness feature in FeedBurner and upgraded their copy of RSS Submit to version 2.5 or higher. This will allow you to continue displaying traffic statistics in RSS Submit if you use FeedBurner with your RSS feeds.

To verify your FeedBurner Awareness is activated, you can follow these steps:

1. Login to your FeedBurner account.
2. Click the title of the feed whose traffic you want to access in RSS Submit.
3. Click the Publicize tab for the feed.
4. In the Publicize Your Feed window, click the Awareness API link along the left list of options.
5. In the Awareness window, click Activate and click Save (if needed).
