User Group Network Thanks You for Registering

Submit Your Content & Links Here
.
Please read these instructions before submitting your link:
Use the form most appropriate for the type of content you have posted
__ There are three response vehicles in this system. Each has specific input requirements so that the resulting web links to your site will be configured properly.
__ Each form alerts our editors that a new article or content item has been published and that the author, user group newsletter editor or industry developer is interested in being listed in one of the Affiliate jumpstations(*see list below).
.
(1) Submit: ARTICLE PREVIEW (For individual articles. Most recommended.)
  1. TITLE and 25 to 50-words presenting just the key points in the content.
  2. Intended for readers who "skim" your message rather than follow the link to the full article. (Remember that only about 12.5% of readers will actually read your full content item on the web unless you sufficiently arouse their interest!
  3. INPUT a short, succinct description of the longer article or white paper which exists in your web site. Includes credit section for firm business card, and reference links.
  4. Make sure you understand TERMS of submissions.

Do NOT utilize these forms if you are an editor with a standing column. An html form is provided for your branded columns. If you would like to have your standing, monthly column hosted in the User Group Network then contact: the editor for details and keys to the submission form.

TERMS AND SPECIFICATIONS

  1. THE MOST IMPORTANT CONCERN of this project is to provide access to white papers, technical documents, review articles, online "How-To" tutorials, etc., that will be of interest or benefit to computer users.
  2. CONTENT ONLY or links to content. This is NOT a search engine, and is NOT fully automated. All items will be read, and processed by editors. They will NOT be blindly included.
  3. APPROVED FOR PUBLICATION: items may be published. Make sure they are cleared and approved for publication in the media. DO NOT provide any information you do not want published to the general internet Web population.
  4. MATCH TITLES to the arrival content. Links and previews which do not provide an honest summation of the arrival page will NOT be included. Don't waste our time sending editors to ecommerce or shopping pages.
  5. You may PASTE or key the information into the appropriate fields.
  6. ACCURATE Links, NO directory, index pages, front pages, associate pages, or link directories. Link directly to a content item.
  7. ACCURATE Contact info: must be to a LIVE person. No "info" or "robot" addresses.
