|  Ads in Paid Programs/Software
I have some some software that I purchased and in them, they have ads. Labeled as Partners/Resources and are related to the product. They dont distract from the interface. I then started thinking about offline retail software. They all have some type of ad. Windows puts MSN, AOL, etc trials and other demo software. Games have a "other product" links and some even install trials by default. I have considered putting the same type of ads in some of my software. What are your thoughts? |

It bothers me but it's acceptable if it's not too much. I consider to put this type of ad on my paid software as well but not put it too much. |

I am already doing it Garrie. It works. I also have people signing up for my lists right through my software. I display websites(I use a redirect so I can change my website when I want to promote a particular product), banners that they can click and the optin for my lists. The key is to make not let it become to obtrusive. This is why I created my Software Builder so I can mass produce these things and it takes me about 30 minutes now to produce a software product that would normally take me about 3 weeks. | |
