The CD-ROM Shop: New Title Listings

We are currently receiving in excess of 3,785,000 hits per month. These are all people who are interested in buying CD-ROM software.

The charge to have your title listed is US$150 for the initial setup fee, and US$10 per month.
(Total cost: US$270 for the first year, US$120 for each subsequent year)
For smaller publishers, we will accept product (at wholesale prices) in exchange for the setup/monthly fee.

E.g. If your title retails for US$50, and wholesales for US$30.00 then the setup/monthly fee can be converted as follows:
US$270 / wholesale cost = Number of copies
In this example:
US$270 / US$30 = 9 copies in exchange for the setup/monthly fee.

If your media and packaging costs average $2/box then your actual cost to have your title listed will only be $18.
Clearly this will provide the most exposure for your advertising dollar.

This price includes:

The price of a listing in our catalog for one full year is far less than the cost of even a 1/9th of a page black and white add in any of the CD-ROM specific magazines (CD-ROM Today, etc) for just one month.
