Give Away of the Day GAOTD - Give Away Of The Day

Give Away of the Day
One-day sales are a great opportunity for software developers to increase their exposure and grab marketshare. "Give Away Of The Day" is a one-day special opportunity.

GAOTD

How it Works
Every 24 hours, a different download is offered to website visitors, free of charge. There are terms and conditions that limit the software's usage. The software is limited to non-commercial use only, updates are limited, and tech support is limited or non-existent.

GAOTD posts the software on the website for 24 hours (or longer, if negotiated). GAOTD compensates the developer with an agreed-upon amount for the days downloads. GAOTD also writes a software review, and includes information about other applications that are available from the same software developer. The application is available for 24 hours, the software developer fills the orders, and can collect user information for registration keys or for future marketing to the customer. After the special, GAOTD will continue to promote the software with discounted purchase links.
