software http://resqpc.com/freshlinks
2) Who else could I get to publish a review of my software and get
maximum exposure with minimum costs?

Hi there!

To get your software reviewed, there are several places to contact:

Ziff Davis Media Group, publishers of PC Magazine and Yahoo Internet
Life Magazine, offer "eTesting Labs" for testing and reviews of
products:

You can contact PC Magazine's staff for reviews here (you'll want
"First Looks" and "Software"):

Yahoo Internet Life does not review software, but does review sites. 
They have the following instructions for getting your site reviewed:

"If you want us to consider reviewing your Web site in Yahoo! Internet
Life, send mail to cree_mccree@ziffdavis.com. To have your site
considered, please be sure to include:

    * The URL of the site (yes, people do forget to tell us this!).
    * Who you are and what you're doing with your site.
    * Who it serves and what makes it useful, delightful, or
charming."

detailed instructions on how to submit your product for review here:

(This one is a little picky, make sure you read carefully!)

For other reviews, try C-Net Technologies, maintainers of the wildly
popular ZDnet.com and Downloads.com.  They explain how to get your
software reviewed here:

Good luck!

Good answer but didn't go much beyond to explore other areas.

Missy's answer is great as usual. I just wanted to add something
addressing the second part of your question. About six months ago I
read *Guerrilla P.R. Wired* by Michael Levine. It is an excellent book
on getting on-line business exposure, inexpensively. It is written in
handbook style so you will actually be able to do the techniques as
you read the book.

Another thing that just came to mind, that you might want to consider,
is possibly contacting a local user group. I am affiliated with
several of them in Southern California, and we always welcome contact
from Software and Hardware manufacturers.

Because most Users Groups are classified by the I.R.S. as 501-C3
(Non-Profit Organizations) products can be donated, then they can be
written off as a donation.

Normally when we receive requests for reviews from companies, in the
case of software, we generally request two copies. One copy goes to
the person who takes the time to write the review of the product, and
the other copy is usually used as either a raffle prize, or some other
form of fund raising for the organization. . .

There are Users Groups in every part of the United States, and
worldwide. One of the best resources to find user groups is by
contacting the Association Of Personal Computer User Groups. The can
be found online at http://www.apcug.org/

I hope this helps.  . .
