'PAD SITE' is a commercial set of PHP scripts for maintaining PAD enabled software download sites. It was initially based on free 'PADKit' by Association of Shareware Professionals (http://www.padkit.org, currently suspended). Hovewer, all the existing scripts have been completely rewritten and many new scripts added to implement some features missing in the original source that we find really important:- detailed description pages,- download and purchase pages for each listing,- downloads counter and affiliate tracking, promotion via featured listings,- RSS feeds, OPML lists and XML sitemap,- ability for site visitors to easily rate and review listings without any need of signing up unneeded accounts but still with powerful protection against spamming.Also in Sysop panel there were added abilities to manually approve/decline new submissions, rate listed software, manage affiliate data provided by 4 most popular software payments services supporting affiliate partnerships (RegNow, Share-It, eSellerate, Plimus), submit multiple PADs from PAD URL lists, backup PADs list, manage black list by site URLs for persisting abusers etc.
