Product Promotion Within The CBS Interactive Network


Upload.com currently provides publishers with the most powerful trial software promotion service available anywhere. Serving over 27,000 publishers representing 35,000 products and 132 countries around the world, our product library generates over 2.5 million downloads each day.

This unmatched exposure comes from powering a growing network of download distribution sites, which reaches a combined total of over 38 million unique users per month* and includes:

  • CNET Download.com
  • CNET VersionTracker.com
  • AT&T
  • CBS International sites
  • EarthLink
  • Computer Shopper
  • MSN
  • ZD Net
  • TechRepublic
  • Winfiles.com
  • Shareware.com

An active listing in our library also gives publishers greater visibility across search engines such as Google due to the advanced search engine optimization techniques CBS Interactive utilizes for each product page.

Over the past 12 years, the distribution of trial products through Download.com and its partner sites has been responsible for transforming many titles from experiments into mainstream software. When 38 million downloaders see a good idea, they don't wait to try it. And nothing beats logging into your Upload.com account and seeing all of the additional downloads each week.

It doesn't matter if you are a part-time hobbyist or the product marketing manager for a major software firm. Upload.com can help grow your business more quickly and efficiently than anything else in the industry.

Not only is Upload.com a powerful source of trial distribution for your products, it's also safe and secure. Every single title is tested for viruses and spyware before being added to our library. And since we host all files on HTTP servers, they can only be altered by you. For additional information, please visit our Listing Packages page.
