Well there are some options. The simplest idea is to just have a 'shopwindow' that contains banners and short text lines for the products of the participating developers. Each banner could link to a page on the same host, perhaps in a uniform style, or it could link to a totally different page, where you can handle credit card payments, plug other products and so on. We could also do the credit card stuff on the same host, so that all product pages have the same look and feel, but you would still need to handle your own payments (can't do that centrally without a lot of effort).
The biggest advantage of such a page is that we can help eachother to get more exposure. We would plug the site whenever our product is mentioned, and this means more attention for all of us. Besides, your product will be on the site much longer, although this is only an advantage if the site 'lives'. We could keep away the endless game clones, so to the customer, the site represents the 'active developers' and the 'state of the art'.
I am not sure if enough people are interested, as Modaco sounds like a reasonable alternative to Handango as well.
