Editorial Content - Reprints

REPRINT REQUIREMENTS

All stories that appear on www.softwareceo.com are copyrighted by Computing Technology Industry Association, Inc., and may not be reprinted without our permission. After two weeks, our stories move to our password-protected Editorial Archives, where they are accessible only to our paid members.

However, our business relies on a combination of web traffic and paid subscribers, and we are always interested in ways to increase either or both. Therefore, we want to work with you to give you what you need while still protecting our copyrights and revenues.

You have two fairly simple options:

Option A: Direct Link

1. You list the title of the article on your Web site verbatim, and include this copyright line (without the quotes): "Copyright (c) 2009, Computing Technology Industry Association, Inc."
2. That title is then hyperlinked to a special URL that we will provide you.

Your visitors will be taken directly to the article on our site; we will not ask for any information from them, and we will not try to sell them anything.

(Now, if you also want to show a SoftwareCEO logo with the article, that's great — but that is not required.)

Option B: Full Reprint

1. You publish the full article on your site verbatim, and include this copyright line (without the quotes): "Copyright (c) 2009, Computing Technology Industry Association, Inc. Reprinted with permission."

2. Alongside the article — preferably with the copyright line — you must include the following special logo, and this logo must hyperlink to a special "mailto" address:

Hyperlink parameters:
     title="SoftwareCEO"
     href="mailto:newsletter@softwareceo.com?Subject=Subscribe me&body=I saw a
          SoftwareCEO article reprinted at www.xyz.com"

... where "www.xyz.com" is replaced with your home page (or the complete article link, if possible).

Your users who click on that will see an e-mail form with "Subscribe me" in the subject line; it's their choice, of course, whether they then click "send."

(Obviously, we're looking for traffic to our site, so if we don't get that via a link from you, we're hoping that some people will like the article enough that they'll sign up for the free newsletter.)

We may also be able to produce PDF versions as well... they would look much like this sample, with the "Back | SoftwareCEO Home" hyperlinks and the header (the footer can likely be removed). We've had some inconsistent results from Adobe, so we can't guarantee this as an option.

Let us know which way you want to go, and we'll send you the necessary logos and links to get you set up.

Sincere thanks for your interest in SoftwareCEO's content.
