An interesting idea from Apple: link to specific iTunes downloads from your site, and make 5% commission on every download. If you sign up now you might even win an iPod mini.

It’s not clear whether the scheme is US-only – if it is, the relevant clause is buried invisibly in the small print – but the links have to be to the US store, not the UK or European ones. However, the scheme could prove useful to anyone who blogs about music and could do with some extra cash.
