Apple Launches iTunes Affiliate Program

An anonymous user writes, "Apple has launched an affiliate program for their iTunes music store that earns participants 5% commission. Affiliates can link directly to songs, albums, and artists, as well as apply to the Apple Store affiliate program to sell hardware. It costs nothing to join and people that sign up prior to September 15 can win one of five free iPod minis. Apple has also assembled a handy FAQ."

I think this must be some kind of record. Anybody else willing to read it and tell me what parts might be objectionable?

Win one of five free iPod minis?

[89cents]

Geez with everyone doing it now, I had to check to see if there were referrer links to freeipods.com in the article summary.

Apple also annouced that Canada is too cold for iTunes quality soundwaves to work and plans to never let the canucks into the iTunes store.

1: If you join, there is a non-zero chance that you do.
2: If you don't join, there is zero chance that you do.
3. If you convince others not to join, your chance gets bigger.

See, math is easy.

Slashdot

[mosb1000]

Slashdot should apply, they could make a bundle off of the commissions with all the iTunes related articles they post. All they'd have to do is find a covert way to post links so that people wouldn't realize that it's a money making proposition for them ;)

What I do

[That's Unpossible!]

What I like to do is secure the page with the form on it, and then send the important data over an insecure channel.
