Button Partner Program

The Button Partner Program is a free service designed to help you increase your download counts. By pointing users to your product detail page on CNET Download.com, you can easily:

Increase your chances of making a CNET Download.com Most Popular List
Eliminate your own hosting costs by pointing to the file on our site
Ensure product security by consolidating distribution to one secure source
Influence the relevancy rankings of your product page on key search engines
Earn extra benefits for driving a high volume of traffic to CNET Download.com

The top two factors that determine which products our users download are:

The overall download count itself
Users' ratings and reviews (see below)

By driving your site's traffic to your CNET Download.com product page, you can quickly influence your download counts and encourage your users to rate your product. As your download counts grow, so do your rankings. Participating in the program can help earn you a spot on one of our Most Popular lists and boost your downloads by up to 20 percent. These lists also are frequently cited by media sources around the world as a benchmark of what's relevant in the world of downloads.
