But if we don’t know how to track them, then we will miss it. Who wants to miss such an opportunity. Here are some of the methods used by me for getting such information. This might help you too.

1) Websites

freeappaday.com is a app-alert website which is updated daily.

appshopper.com is another great website with great design which provides the same purpose.

2) Free Apps’ App

So I might end up using some Under Construction theme.

After lot of searching, I found this plugin for wordpress which is helpful for making the site under construction for the public, while it will be still available for the admin once we login. This helps me in designing the site from the server itself, without releasing it to public.

We can customize the plugin with the logo, countdown timing as well as the percentage of work completed. The fluidic design is excellent along with the jquery based slider. We can also include multiple pages to be shown in the bottom part. But I used to keep only one page just to write some extra text about Maintenance status. The email collection form as well as direct links to twitter, rss and Facebook will keep the visitor busy and they wont return empty handed. Definitely those links will provide necessary information about you.
