Abstract: A system and method for controlling and monitoring the distribution and use of computer-readable portable digital media (PDM), such as CD business cards and the like, between a PDM provider, the PDM provider's customer, the customer's representatives and associates (if any), and third party PDM recipients through the use of a database interfacing with Internet accessible Web sites controlled by the PDM provider. The PDM includes customer information digitally encoded thereon and preferably includes an Internet Web site URL link for accessing an Internet Web site transition page which interfaces with the database to redirect the third party recipient viewer's Internet browser to designated Internet destination page.
