Submission Policy

Products submitted to the DVD Trades download link site will be appropriate for general audiences. We only accept Audio & Multimedia related software. It will be the responsibility of the Download Site Webmaster (DSW) to investigate complaints regarding inappropriate material. The DSW may remove links to any software deemed inappropriate for listing on the YBH site. No appeal is possible.

Don't Spam

Submission spammers will be blacklisted and this blacklist will be shared with other site operators. Submission spam includes:

submissions that are not Audio & Multimedia related
submissions that use multiple PAD files for a single program
submissions made by an affiliate and not the software developer
submissions that regularly and artificially change the version to manipulate ranking
submissions that use special characters in program names to manipulate ranking
submissions that use a release date in the future to manipulate ranking
submissions that artificially exploit holidays
submissions that use a different PAD file for every new version
submissions that redirect PAD files to html files
