I am currently using Linkshare on my site (Digital Download Game World dot com). They are providing me affiliate programs for Direct2Download, Callpod, and iTunes USA. Currently I am generating the majority of my traffic from Canadian sources so iPhone owners clicking through my game listings are going to iTunes Canada. Linkshare / iTunes is only paying commissions on US purchases. I have been told iTunes Canada runs a private program and I have only a single email as a contact. Does anyone know if iTunes Canada is part of a different affiliate network? Is anyone here part of an iTunes Canada affiliate program? Of course my next hurdle will be attempting to direct my users to the right affiliate button based on their location. This will be tricky as I have no idea how to do that specific a state detect within my Joomla CMS website. Any ideas?
Good question. I would try that email as well as this one: iTunes Canada Affiliates (at) apple DOT com It is a new email specifically for the program. Since iTunes Canada is private they keep it pretty quite but emailing both those addresses with a solid reason as to why they should include you will typically get you in. Good luck and don't give up! For your global traffic check out http://georiot.com. I use this with soundtrack sites and get commissions off a much greater percentage of my traffic. It's awesome. They are accepting more beta clients right now too. And yes, LinkShare administers the Canada iTunes Affiliate Program.
