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!
