CD-ROM, shareware."   Too many BBSes use these bland words and you cannot
distinguish yours with these.

WHAT IS AN ADVERTORIAL?  There are SO MANY BBSes in operation.  And sysops
demanded a way to distinguish their own BBS from all the rest.  So, we
decided to provide an area where a sysop can underscore the truly unique
features of their BBS: an advertorial!

A        H I G H L I G H T E D         entry piques the users' interest in
your BBS.  With an entire screen to yourself, you will set the hook with a
rich description of your BBS  features.

WHO WILL SEE IT?  Already, tens of thousands of users either use the BBS
Guide online or on disk and see our print and electronic promotion efforts.
Only BBSes with advertorials are allowed expanded listings on these
platforms.

WHAT IS BBS GUIDE's CIRCULATION?  Unlike magazines, which know their 
circulation exactly, electronic publications defy exact circulation
measurement.  Here's where your add will travel.  If you know the
right number, tell us!

- In our first three months, over a thousand have called BBS Guide
online.

- BBS Guide Desktop Edition is freeware.  We update the desktop edition 
monthly and R E P L A C E the program onto Compuserve, America Online, 
Delphi, numerous leading bulletin boards as well as on our BBS in L.A. 
and on Internet email (bgde@bbsguide.com).  These copies are downloaded 
and subsequently copied over and over again.

- BBS Guide Desktop Edition will be distributed on diskette at One BBSCon.

- BBS Guide Desktop Edition will be bundled with communications
software and modems.

- BBS Guide Sysop Edition is about to enter beta test stage where it
will run on a number of BBSes.

- BBS Guide Sysop Edition will also be bundled with BBS software.

If you run an ad, you will need new phone lines to handle the increased 
traffic.
