Hi everyone. 5 days ago we've launched nice website for all dev's, who want to get extra exposure in overcrowded AppStore. We've personaly experienced lack of intrest from review sites when we were trying to promote our games. Also some big "players" on a marketing market are asking a lot of money for few reviews, or just for putting your app name on his site. We want to change this. If You are thinking about changing price of your game to "free" for a day or more, we would be glad to promote Your app on our site. Feel free to submit your app for a further review. Main features:

- 1 app will get max exposure each day
- 30 days visibility on main page after being featured
- Facebook Page
- Twitter Page
- Google + Page
- RSS Feed
- Mail Subscription
- Free App Island App for iOS devices (currently during development) with Push Notifications
- Rating System
- 5 Top rated games will be shown on left side of the website
- Completely free for devs

More info on Developer Info:

    Not exactly what i was thinking, i wanted to have deleted this thread and left the other on Business & marketing. I'm not selling anything, i just make free marketing for developers so it shouldn't be on Marketplace section. Thanks :)

    So do you actually use GameSalad or are you just spamming our forum with your new site in an attempt to gain visitors. Sure it sounds win win in your pitch. but you would not be much of a salesperson if it didn't.

    Sorry it just bothers me when people join the forum just to spam it with there own stuff and have no vested interest in GameSalad or the users and content here. I would normally Just ban someone who did that but i'm sure there are others who might find your spam useful yet unfulfilling so for now I'll leave and let GameSalad decide for themselves.

    I saw this on all of the other forums like Corona, iphone Dev sdk forum etc.

    I think its spam.

    Yeah Sherlock...that's the point of telling others that such website exist. If you want your app be really advertised, i must do that. My bad that i did create another username to be more "official".
    Btw. hman360... i could say the same thing about you:

    http://www.iphonedevsdk.com/forum/shameless-advertising/86959-app-promotion.html

    You want to tell me that when i post about something on more than 1 forum then i'm spammer and im pure evil? I'm not even asking about 1 cent from your pocket. I know how hard is to be noticed on the AppStore, that's why i've created my page - to help advertise apps. In exchange i get: hey...it's a spam or not...hmm, i dont care what he offer...i'm sure he want to crush all GS devs..lol

    Have a nice day

    +1 right there free app island. Hman, if you've done the exact same thing, you can't say anything

    The problem is with both of your claims against me is that I actually use these 2 forums because I am a contributing part of both. I am on this forum almost everyday and I actually use gamesalad to create iphone software. I have came to the forum and answered numerous questions and have asked for help when I needed it. Finally, my post were about services that were COMPLETELY FREE, something you won't be able to say very soon.

    As for you, you just want to start a small pr firm by starting out free and switching to paid: "Currently our services are free of charge. We would like to keep it that way as much as possible, but we can't guarantee that it won't change in the future (if we want to expand - we need to invest). So currently you don't pay anything for featuring your app here. Of course FreeAppIsland.com needs a lot of care (we have some nice ideas) so we decided to place 3 Ad's spots for a extremely low, introductory price. More about it below."

    Also you are asking for money for your banners.

    As for you redsky, you are supporting him and criticizing me because you are in the same boat as he is and it is sinking. You are posting on others thread (not new ones) about buying your "marketing service" to try to make money. Read these posts and then tell me that you haven't done things worse than either freeappisland.com or I. http://gamesalad.com/forums/topic.php?id=30175
    http://gamesalad.com/forums/topic.php?id=30065
    If you keep it up, you won't be here much longer. Also, you need proof like twitter followers or webpage views to get marketing clients :)

    This is all I will add to this particular discussion to avoid a flame war and try to maintain my professionalism.

    Ok. I understand now:
    - Free service (without telling anything about future) = good, no spam
    - Currently free service (with honest informing what can happen, but it's not 100% sure) = bad, spam

    It's like telling: "Hey, New Your Times is very bad newspaper, they offered me FREE advertisement but they will ask for money 4 months later".

    Also telling:
    "im on this forum longer than you, i made more posts etc." means that you are higher in hierarchy?

    Conclusion:
    If you are not interested - we don't force you or anyone to do anything. Also our ad's are optional. Respect what others has to offer and be respected. Of course it's your right to have opinion about our service, which is ok for us. I'm gamesalad user too, i've used it in the beginning of my DEV journey, does it count? I think it's not important. Important thing is what you can offer to the others.

    Have a nice day.
