Per is right that CD Baby is good (VERY GOOD IMO) for handling the
sales for your CD but they're not marketers/sales-reps for you -
HOWEVER I have found that we seem to sell a certain amount of CDs
from people just brousing the the CD Baby site and they do have
some "TRY THIS - OTHER CDs you will love" links which *may* end up
going to your page. Check the http://WWW.CDBABY.NET pages for some
promo ideas and http://www.bandradio.com has a newsletter that sends
out lots of promo tips - athough they're indie rock/pop oriented.

Cheers,
