Internet search services provider Google, Inc., US, has announced that retailers, bloggers, book publishers and other website owners in the US can now become Google eBooks affiliates. Affiliates can link to Google eBooks on their sites for any of the hundreds of thousands of titles available for sale, earning a commission for referring sales to the Google eBookstore.
Google launched the programme as a limited beta in December 2010 with its first affiliate, Goodreads, a social reading site. After becoming an affiliate, Goodreads was able to refer its avid book reading fans to the Google eBookstore. When Goodreads users buy a Google eBook, they gain immediate access to their book.
Google is now inviting all interested site owners to apply to join the expanded Google eBooks affiliate programme. Participating sites are seen to gain new revenue streams by giving their book-reading audiences an easy way to buy Google eBooks.
Google eBooks affiliates become part of the Google Affiliate Network (GAN). After joining GAN, one can subscribe to the Google eBooks product feed to get links to the full set of available Google eBooks. The new Google Books APIs can be used to query a more targeted set of e-books.
