Page Template

Google Page example
This is an example of a download page made using Google Pages;

Artist's download page template

No hosting costs
The idea is that the download page should cost you (the artist) nothing to host. The page also allows you (should you so wish) to host 'Google ads' to gain a secondary income stream.

Metalinks
This download page would only serve as a place for fans to find the artist's official P2P metalinks. However, Google pages allows you to create a whole website should you wish to.

No bandwidth costs
As all the media is distributed via P2P it is stored on your fan's hard drives; so it costs you nothing in storage or bandwidth. This is also an important consideration as many free hosts (And free website via your ISP) have bandwidth limits. Excessive bandwidth use can get a page taken down, but with P2P handling the download side of things - this should never happen.

Even fans who do not donate money are helping by hosting your zip files (providing P2P hosting services - i.e. they are running a P2P 'Art-Server'.)

Freedom for all
The concept behind this, is that any artist, no matter where they are in the world can get their media out into the wild and earn money from the global community. Using systems like Pay Pal, even those in poor areas who are denied banking facilities can gain funds.
