Youngfook, congrats with launching another online venture. I'm your "follower" since the days of OpenSourceFood. The most important question I raise with submission services (like your PeterPings and AppLaunch) is that followed traffic would not be targeted. "Why A Link from TechCrunch Will Not Make You Rich" - this excellent article by Rob Walling better describes this issue: http://j.mp/VXJoDp |

I'd answer by saying that we are not a "make you rich" service. For that, we'd be charging a lot more!
Distributing your information to various sites just increases the chances of you being discovered. The more you put yourself out there, the more you're likely to be reviewed or mentioned or shared. This is PR 101. It's not going to turn you into a millionaire overnight, but it's just one of those things you should be doing.
That article leaves out an important dimension: time. Sure, one blog post isn't going to net you hundreds of sales. But over a long enough timeline, could it net you dozens of sales? What if you multiplied that by 150+ different sites? This is long tail / long term.
Peterpings takes the time/effort out of this thing that you should be doing, so you have more time to dedicate to product development, or a more creative marketing campaign!
