Advertising off-site

We provide regular active promotional efforts (i.e. posting articles on Linux community user forums, blogs, etc.), combined with continuous improvement of the Lin-App.com web site based on the user and advertising feedback.

The articles and announcements we post are strictly no-spam, i.e. we ask for approval to put information about the commercial Linux applications and games (if it is needed) or might offer a commercial alternative in case somebody is searching for such an application or a game.

Why list and advertise your commercial Linux applications and games with us?

Open source and freeware VS commercial - finding a needle in the haystack

There is a large and growing selection of GNU/GPL and free Linux applications and games on the Internet.

Unlike on the other OS platforms (Win and Mac), the commercial applications and games for Linux are sometimes perceived as the underdog, a second or even a last choice if there is no free alternative.

Even worse, the commercial applications and games for Linux are sometimes not perceived at all as a serious choice.

At the same time, various Linux OS distributions have already gained enough popularity among desktop users and companies and there is an underdeveloped market for the commercial applications and games already present at or being alternatives for the other OS platforms (Win and Mac)

We feel that now is the right time to bridge the gap and to make finding and deciding on buying the commercial Linux applications and games easier through a centralized site - the Lin-App.com

Drawbacks of the existing listing services - Lin-App.com makes them strong points ...

There are several competing download services and blogs already present on the Internet, with several drawbacks we have turned into Lin-App.com web site strong points:
