    Capitalize on your Global Affiliate Traffic - GeoRiot

    If you want to use affiliate links to music or apps in the iTunes store in your app, GeoRiot seems like a useful service.

    Every iTunes country store has it’s own affiliate program that only pays out for users with an account for that specific store. If you want to harvest income on a global scale you have to join all the programs and build in logic in your app to forward users to their country’s store.

    GeoRiot offers one simple entry point for the iTunes and Amazon affiliate programs. A single sign-up and a single affiliate link help you gathering income from all the global stores. GeoRiot is currently in public beta.
