According to the iTunes Affiliates info, Squidoo get 5% and share half of it with you.

Amazon pays 8.5%, half of which is shared with you.

One thing to remember: iTunes is very popular for music, and you may see more sales than with Amazon.

So the way the math would work out is that  I would have to sell 2.4 times as many songs through iTunes to match what I would make from Amazon.  (BTW, since the time of this thread, I have seen enough sales to determine that I would indeed benefit from being an Amazon affiliate).

That, coupled with the fact that with iTunes I would be getting no feedback about which songs are selling, makes Amazon look a lot more attractive.

Of course, if I could figure out a tasteful way to do it, I could give people both options.  Use Amazon spotlights to talk about the songs in depth, and then maybe have one iTunes module at the bottom for people who prefer that.  Hmmmm . . .

Bare in mind that non-members can't vote in Plexo modules...

I usually have both - but with Amazon it's easy to add a long list, while with iTunes a few obvious samples and then it has an obvious 'search for more' option Also, sometimes they offer different songs.

For the record, I have sold a bunch of amzon songs, but I think none were from actual lenses with songs on! And I have this past couple of days been getting search hits for "portal still alive itunes" (or variations) on my Still Alive lens.


- oh, does anyone know if/when iTunes actual turns up in the reports?

I haven't used the iTunes module yet, but I know that I really like Amazon, especially the Spotlight module.  I've also got a couple of lenses that have Amazon MP3s on them.
