Apple Launches iTunes Affiliate Program

Posted by pudge on from the it's-about-time dept.

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."

  1. NO SSL by dr1zzt · · Score: 0, Redundant

    They Ask for you SSN or your tax ID number, plus your name, address, phone number, and first born, yet it is an open webpage. No SSL, nada. So I am going to be filling out a form with no encryption and no protection for all the important data that an Identity Thief needs. That is just ridiculous and stupid on their part and on anyone that signs up, especially on a wireless connection. I did fill the form out with false data and it then redirects you to another site outside of apple.com https://ssl.linksynergy.com/php-bin/reg/sregister. shtml?mid=13508&no_r=1
    that is protected, but it is too late, my data was submitted from an unsecure page. And now Joe Bob ID thief has become me.
