Place routine, fixed-price auctions on eBay and other auction sites
to sell your CD. Include links to your home page and a description
of what you do within the HTML of the auction description.

Improving your page's rating in the search engines might help, too.
Send out a press release to the DEC-related magazines, collector
magazines, Dr. Dobbs, programmer magazines, etc.

Is there a Classic Computer Collector web ring?

I, too, have noticed that the search engines have gotten very far
behind in indexing new pages. I've submitted pages and they've
simply never showed up, and even the submission pages warn that
it may be *months* before they index your page. What good is that?
Plenty of irrelevant spam pages seem to be there, no doubt in a
never-ending cat-and-mouse game. We can only guess at the rules
for rejecting pages.
