help me find a non-scammy ringtone site with an affiliate program

September 8, 2009 1:01 PM

Are there any reputable ringtone sites? I'm looking for sellers that use a standard shopping cart, don't use misleading sales pitches, and don't try to con people into a subscription. The reason that I'm asking is that I want to join a ringtone affiliate program, but only if the seller is high-quality and reputable (therefore free sites and iTunes are not applicable).

Er... could you clue us in to what about iTunes isn't high-quality and/or reputable, in your book?

Response by poster: I don't want to buy ringtones myself. I want to join an affiliate program (for a ringtone store). That is a program where you put links on your website to a store, and if you refer a sale to that store, you get a percentage of the sale as a commission.

iTunes isn't applicable because it doesn't have an affiliate model for ringtones. I'm already a member of the general iTunes affiliate program, so if they do pay commissions for ringtones, I'm already earning them.

Not a scientific sample or anything, but the only people I know who are actually buying ringtones are doing it through their mobile provider's stores or itunes.

All of the other ones, besides maybe the downloads you can get direct from a band's webpage or whatever, just scream "scam" to me.
