GMail Affiliate Program In The Works?


Google just announced that GMail is now open to all - no more of that "invitation" nonsense. What's interesting, though, is this AP article reporting Google's intention to add a paid to service to GMail (thanks, Avinash):
"Now that Google has more computing muscle, Brin said the company will start selling additional storage capacity to e-mail users with extraordinary needs. Google still hasn't figured out the specifics, but Brin indicated the e-mail storage and fees to be introduced later this year would be similar to Google's photo-hosting service that charges $25 annually for 6.25 gigabytes and $500 annually for 250 gigabytes.

'We can't afford to give away everything for free,' Brin said."

All I can say is: affiliate program, please- thanks!

    They arnt giving it away for free because they are placing ads on each page. However I doubt this would effect to many users.

    Hey Anthony,

    I wonder who actually needs more than 2GB of mail storage anyway? At any rate, they're talking about an actual fee schedule for some kind of 'premium' gmail account (as opposed to just ads). Could be a good affiliate opp. -j

    GMail Affiliate Program would be great idea especialy together with providing gmail accounts on privat domains. They can display more ads this way.

How To Annoy The Entire Blogosphere

1. Ask a blogger for a favor , especially if you have no intention of reading their blog. Bonus points for starting your request like-a-so: "Hi, I don't read your blog, but would you mind..." 2. Use messaging on social networking sites ( StumbleUpon , MyBlogLog ) to ask people to visit your site. Bonus points for not visiting the sites of those you ask. 3. Sport the dollar signs in your eyes with pride. Whether it be links, traffic or money, we're all here to serve you . Demonstrate your dedication to self-enrichment with every comment, email and post. 4. Avoid writing comments that resemble actual conversation. Comments that begin and end with "Great post!", "I agree!", or "Ditto!" are best. Bonus points for fawning. 5. Copy another blogger's content. Bonus points for not linking to their original post. They love that. Gold star for submitting your copy to Digg. 6. Borrow heavily from another blogger's post...
