      I want to list our product on a number of sites that require PAD files such as Software Informer and Softpedia. Is this a good idea from an SEO perspective to have links on these pages?

        I would say yes. Those sites are still authority sites, they are just in the software niche. So if you are in software I would think they would be beneficial.
