Softonic.com Launches own Advertising Platform: Softonic Ads

Softonic Ads Makes it Possible to Define Ads Quickly and Easily and to Choose the Target Public

BARCELONA, December 14, 2010 - Softonic.com, the biggest free software download and sales
portal in Europe and Latin America and the second-biggest worldwide, has
launched Softonic Ads, a new advertising platform especially designed so that
software authors and enterprises can promote their products on the company's
different portals.

Softonic Ads is characterized by its high level of usability,
so that any software author can create his or her own ad quickly and easily.
It is a highly intuitive interface, designed to be able to define an ad's
features in a few minutes and without having to depend on the intervention of
an administrator. In addition, it offers real-time reports on how the
campaign is performing and calculates its estimated impact using parameters
determined by the advertiser. This allows the advertiser to draw on the
information obtained to tweak the campaign to his or her goals.

Advertisers can also make a detailed definition of the
characteristics required of their target public to take full advantage of the
campaign. With Softonic Ads, it is possible to maximize the advantages of
advertising on the Softonic.cm international portals in English, French,
German, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese, Polish, and Spanish, reaching over 65
million users per month around the world. It is also open to any type of
business or advertiser, regardless of campaign size, as it is the author who
defines the budget he or she wishes to allocate to the ad, with no
established minimum amount required. Advertisers can therefore plan their
campaign with full control over expenditure.

Softonic.com founder and President Tomás Diago says: "In
creating Softonic Ads we wanted to offer a tool with which software authors
can be sure they reach their real target public. It lets advertisers address
a global audience through a single platform." He added: "It is designed to be
very easy to use, so anyone can create their own ad in a few minutes, without
having to depend on the intervention of an administrator. This ease of
creation makes it possible to publish a campaign online in record time."
