Many of us have made New Year's resolutions that we hope will inspire us to work harder and motivate us to be more organized this year. Here at Tucows, we've made a resolution to comb through our entire software library to ensure that all our listings are up-to-date with accurate information and outgoing links, as well as the latest file versions. With over 40,000 titles, this seems like quite a daunting undertaking, so we're asking for a little help from our friends. We'd like to encourage you to keep your software updated with us throughout the year, but as inspiration to do it now, we're offering an excellent opportunity to not only get your software listing squared away, but to earn some major Tucows bucks in the process.
Here's how it works:
Sign into your Author Resource Center Account and update your software listing with any changes you'd like to make to the description, file, homepage link, screen shot, etc. When you're done, let us know by writing to developer@tucows.com and we'll happily expedite your listing for free (a $30 value)!
But wait, there's more! Visit Tucows Downloads and pull up your listing page. Look on the right of the page and locate the text that says, "Link to this download" and click on the URL. This will bring you to a page where you can find the embed code to add to your site which will take your visitors to the Tucows-hosted download page. Include a link to the page (where you've installed the code) in your email to us and we'll add $20 to your ARC account, which you can later spend on things like keyword bidding, CPC campaigns, or to showcase your listing among our featured programs! Matter of fact, show us that you've included the code in multiple locations on your site(s) and we'll double that to $40.
Want more? Okay! Place the link-back code in a prominent area on your site (like the front page), or show us that you've embedded the code to appear above that of our competitors, and we'll triple your Tucows bucks! Holy cow! That's a total of $60 credit to your Tucows ARC account for you to spend however you like, and we'll also expedite your listing for free!
You may want to act quickly though; this offer is good now through the end of February! Happy New Year from the Tucows herd!
