from the ZDNet folks.

Downloads.zdnet.com is a feed from Download.com. And ZDNet surfaces certain categories from Download.com. So, if you have a title listing in a relevant category on Upload.com/Download.com your product will get listed on ZDNet.com.

To get your products on ZDNet, you'll have to get it on download.com through upload.com.

Hopefully this answers your question.

Cheers,

what should I do
Dec 15, 2014 1:25PM PST

As you know My all products are already listed on this categories : http://download.cnet.com/windows/system-utilities/ . So let me know how can be uploaded the products on Downloads.zdnet.com because I am not finding any way to upload at Zdnet through upload.com. If is paid listing then i'd like to do this.

You don't have to do anything...

and there's nothing you can do to display your title on ZDNet. Again Downloads.zdnet.com is a feed from Download.com which means if your software is in a category that ZDNet offers on their site, your title will show up automatically on ZDNet. However, if ZDNet doesn't display a category that your software is in, then it will not show up on ZDNet.

There is no upload.com for ZDNet and there is no way for ZDNet to customize what they display on their site as far as downloads go, the only thing they control is what category they choose to pull in the feed from.

Does this make sense?
