To all:
First, I don't agree with The_Dude when he says enter any email. I would HIGHLY recomend that it be a REAL e-mail address. Just create an account on hotmail or yahoo for all your mag subscriptions. Some places will not accept your subscription if the e-mail can't go thru. Plus, if you are giving your REAL address, what is the point of not giving an real working e-mail address. OK now for all of you out there, that are still a little sceptical about this, here is a link I came accross that has some insight into these "complimentary" magazine subscriptions. http://freebies.about.com/cs/magazin...plimentary.htm Hope this helps.

Still fighting it.

Magazine sells advertising on the basis of its circulation figures. It's the same reason it costs more per minute to advertise during the Superbowl than it does to get a Nasa space shuttle three inches off the ground.
I made that up, but it's fucking pricey. You sell into a publication on the basis of how many people will see it. If your readership is into the millions, then you're pretty much going to be able to name your price. My guess is that they're adding all these complimentary subscriptions to their circulation totals and hiking the price of their ads accordingly to cover the costs. Probably changing the ratio of editorial:adverts too. I wouldn't be surprised if the volume of ads hadn't gone up since I last looked at Maxim (probably a year ago). Most of these mags originated in Britain, and exploded in popularity during the mid 1990s. The last I read about them, they were suffering something of a backlash and most were losing readers. Maybe we have an answer? Quote:

I've done the GamePro one before and that worked for me, so I trust the rest work too. I'm gonna try out the Maxim one, 'cuz I've wanted that for awhile. Thanks.
