One of my favourite places to advertise my apps and games for free is on-line forums and as I concentrate mainly on game development, I can include game forums in that. Below is a list of forums that I regularly post app announcements to and on occasion chat to users and potential users. I also post the odd promotional codes. One thing to note, don’t SPAM forums and don’t post in the wrong category just because its more popular than the others. That’s the quickest way of getting yourself banned.
