The PAD file format (portable application description) is the
easiest way to get into most repositries.  It's free and available
from http://www.asp-shareware.org  Basically it is an XML
file that resides on your website and is polled by sites for
updates etc.

On top that of there is Cnet.com, Download.com (several countires
have versions of their own of this as well), Tucows.com
sharewarejunkies.com
and the list goes on.  But they are your best bets - and then use the
PAD
format for the rest.  Once you have created your PAD file (with the free
tool)
you submit it to the repositry at http://www.asp-shareware.org and the
sites
using the technology (and that is most of them) get their updates for
new
listings from their automagically.  

Self plug start:  Also see comp.software.shareware.authors Moderated and
comp.software.shareware.announce Moderted.  The former for discussion
and
the latter for product updates and announcements.  Moderted by Moi.  ;-)
