Download Free Software

SoftwareCasa has just started a new service for people to try and download free software.

Free software will range from 1 month demos, trials and fully free software. There are also plans to include shareware, recommendations and software reviews.

So far a couple of different antivirus software has been offered for download plus some graphic applications.

New software will be updated almost daily. Software from a wide variety of categories will be included such as office software, graphic applications, development, mac software, games. As SoftwareCasa a lot of focus will go into the security software sector.

Affiliate Marketing

A while back we launched a new service, but I haven’t had a chance to write a lot about it. The website is for affiliate marketers that can’t or don’t want to set up their own links.

With klikdeal affiliate marketing links you can set up links and name them exactly what you want (this gives a much higher click-through in emails for example) and besides naming the link you can also track how many readers click on your link.

At the best part, it’s all free. Please read more about klikdeal affiliate marketing links

Cheers,

Software You Need

Hiya!

A short note on software that should be on everybody’s PC (or Mac for that matter).

• Antivirus, if you are online ever you need to have antivirus protection. If you’re not online you need antivirus. Strongly recommend Bit-Defender
• Firewall, yes you gotta have that too. Somehow a virus will come in and then you need your firewall to stop all unwanted sending of your information online. Again strongly recommend Bit-Defender Plus
• Google Desktop Search, while trying to keep this general I have to pick this specific software out, because on my system it’s about 20 times faster than the included Microsoft search. Google DesktopSearch included in the Google pack.
• Excel, Word and Outlook. Couldn’t live without em, but hesitant to upgrade to 2007…
• Firefox! About a year since I threw explorer away. I have never looked back, it can’t get any better and wow how many great add-ons there are (will save those for another time)
• Cute-FTP, are you working with websites in any way, then you will if you haven’t already be using some kind of FTP software. My choice definitely falls on Cute-FTP ftp software and I have tried about 6-7 solutions.

Oh, I had a whole bunch more to tell you about. Second part of this post coming shortly.

Cheers, Peter

SnagIt Video

Software Marketing Secrets has produced their first software video for a product we really love - SnagIt. Click here to check the SnagIt video out on Google Video!

The video is about 1 minute long and it covers the great advantage of Snagit, for example that you have more than 40 ways to capture your screen with Snagit. And how easy it is to use compared to regular screen capturing when you have to cut and paste and change size and so on so forth, puh…

SoftwareCasa will try to produce more videos of great products in the future. The software used to create this video is another really excellent software that we warmly recommend - Camtasia 4.0 screen recording software.

If you are working with creating videos for the web, that’s certainly something you should check out.

Until next time

Beware Of Software Comparison Sites

Websites that offer software “reviews” or compare different software products are popping up. Examples would be toptenreviews and 6starreviews. (Linked removed as I don’t feel these companies are trustworthy)

The problem with these websites are that they actually live on the affiliate fees they get when they forward visitors of their websites to the software publishing the software.

So let me ask you a simple question. When rating the software what features of the software do you think they rate based on A) The quality of the software or B) How much they are paid by the company they are referring leads to?

You guessed it. Most established news sources make a clear distinction between editorial content and advertisement. But these sources do not, so don’t trust these websites.

If you are going to read software reviews, do it from trusted sources such as reviews.cnet.com or review.zdnet.com. I believe these to have higher editorial standards.

Good luck on your Software review hunt!

Interesting Website

If you are interested in (everyone who own’s a PC should) protecting your computer against threats should visit Online Security Guide. Check it out it has several “easy read” articles on how to protect your computer.

A few new blogs

Peter
