Abstract

A read-only medium or a readable and writable medium in which a user area is linked to an advertisement, and a method of using the same to minimize the cost to a user and provide advertising. The medium includes an advertising area for recording information related to an advertisement, and a user area from which a user is allowed to read information or to which the user is able to write information when the user views or watches the information recorded in the advertising area. The method of using the medium on which advertisement information is recorded in a predetermined area includes displaying an advertisement recorded in the predetermined area to be viewed or watched by a user; and allowing the user to read or write information from or to a user area on the medium after displaying the advertisement. Accordingly, media can be provided to users at a low price or free, thereby minimizing the financial burden on the users. In addition, advertisers can advertise or publicize business through another medium in addition to conventional media at low cost.
