iTunes is sweetening the deal for affiliates who promote their online gift certificates with 50% more commission. You can email, or buy and print a gift certificate in amounts from $10.00 to $200.00. They’re also throwing in a free iPod nano for the top performing affiliate.
That puts commissions at 7.5% for all sales generated until 12/31/07. But the catch is that affiliates must opt in to Offer 54.1 to earn higher commissions. This is good news for music affiliates, but it’s not for individual downloads, just electronic gift certificates. iTunes is run through LinkShare’s affiliate network.
Amazon.com introduced their new music download service this year with a promotion for affiliates. Even though the selection is less, they are paying 20% commissions until January 2008 then it drops to 10%.

Wow, I didn’t even know that iTunes had an affiliate program, how much do you get per sale gained? Have you tried it yet? Is it very profitable?

We have tried adding the itunes affiliate program on one of the sites that I do work for and I must say that it did fairly well – but nothing compared to adsense.
