For Artists or Labels:
-
If
one of our producers has selected your CD or Album for airplay
on our programs, please help us in
return by announcing to your visitors that we are playing
your music, by linking to us, and also displaying this small
banner-type ad in a visible place on one of your pages!
It is a small .gif or .jpg file (3-11k) and can be easily
copied to your site by right clicking on it, or you can link
to it directly at our location.
-
If
we are playing your music, we should have an Artist page for
you. If we do not, send us an
email here
and we will create it. If we have a page for you, please
link to it from your site! [to see if we actually have a
specific Artist page, use the Google search boxes on the top
of most of our pages, or search for "Coolstreams" plus the
Artist name on Google, or
browse our Artist pages]
-
Consider offering
Promotional CDs for our
Listener Member Premiums online catalog where you also get an
extra listing opportunity to promote your CD to CoolStreams'
listeners. Remember, these are listeners who PAY to
support our service, and they will appreciate seeing and
hearing artists who also support us! You can receive an
ad on one of our artist pages
in exchange for promotional copies of your CD(s) If we are
playing your CD (Please do not send more than 1 or 2 extra copies in advance
UNLESS we ARE already playing your music - if so, feel free to
send more extra copies).
Click here to see the Member's Premiums online catalog. Once one
or more of our producers is playing your music, you are
welcome to participate by sending extra promotional copies.
Webmasters of Artist sites
(fan sites or official):
-
If we are playing your music, we
will be happy to provide a reciprocal link to your web site if
you are linking to us. We will link to your site from our Artist pages
section. For most artist or fan sites, it is probably to
your advantage (for search rankings) to link to our site
because of our consistently decent web rank.
If
we are playing music by an artist, in most cases we have
created an artist page in our artist section. To see if
we actually have a page, search for the artist name using the Google boxes near the top of our pages.
-
To Exchange Links, Place a link to us on a permanent
page on your site. You can link to our home page if you
like, or to the page for the artist that your site is about.
Then send us an email here
with the url of the page that the link to us is on, and the
URL that you would like us to link to. If you would like
to exchange banner links, please contact us (email us here)
.
Linking to us:
-
We would prefer that you link to our artist pages if we have
created on for you or your artist (see the section above), or
the main page of the series that plays your music (e.g.:
Celtic Currents, Ambient Caverns).
-
Please note that you may be violating copyright and
performance licensing laws if you
make links directly to any program .ram or .m3u files on our
site, so please do
not do this! (you may also become liable for performance
and royalty licensing fees from organizations like Ascap, BMI,
Sesac and SoundExchange)
