I am not sure I really have a problem with it, if it goes with your Twitter account. Mine is @couponcodelady so need I say more. I try to link most of my links to my blog. If it is going to be allowed , there needs to be a standard hash for all affiliate links. Sponsors are using #spon or #ad, but if no one knows what it means, are you really disclosing anything?

This is a really awesome and useful service for anyone who finds them self shortening a lot of URLs and needs to have quality statistics and reports. The fact that there is a 5.00 sign on bonus and that there is a wide range of merchant affiliates integrated into the service is convenient also.
I am looking forward to how this service develops in the future and I believe that it is off to a great start. I think that once an API for this service is released that we will really see it’s true potential for developers, marketers, merchants, and end-users.
So far I have really been enjoying this service.

It was funny when I found this, had the same idea months ago but I came to the conclusion that a one man operation would be very difficult to manage all the affiliate programs, and thought that Twitter itself with it’s size would have been much better suited to actually make the money through sales sent through their service, like the $1 million in sales that Dell made through Twitter promotions.

Crazy how this space works.

Ahem…anyone can do this now…and make 100% of their affiliate sales. I don’t see the point in doing this through Tweetbucks. Simply open your own Affiliate accounts and send out links…and eventually be hated and unfollowed. This will become a very big problem for Twitter. Spam 2.0, here we come.

I think the message most of us are missing is following:

TweetBucks: First, we examine the link you are shortening against our database of 1000’s of merchants. If it points to an e-commerce site like Amazon or Best Buy, we automatically insert an affiliate code. With the affiliate code inserted, every time someone follows your link and makes a purchase, you’re paid a commission.

If this is true and your “affiliate codes” are highly relevant to the page context then I see a value.

You say it’s a bit shady…?!

It reeks of MLM, not my cup of tea.

Sell to your tweets friends and family, no thanks…

Interesting idea. I wondering if Twitter would ever consider starting their own service like that…What Twitter should do is just have sponsored results. Same idea as Google except it’s all real time stuff.

Twitter is like a breath of fresh air on the Social Media scene. I have been on it for just a few weeks now and I have met several interesting people. It is a platform to network with people you would like to meet in real life.

That’s a big if – I’ve seen numerous cases over the years when going to a site via an affiliate link (I’m talking to you Expedia UK) gets you a worse price than without. How can the user compare that other that clearing cookies or going to the site homepage in another browser?

I’ll be glad if I never hear of this idea again. Twitter is fun. I love Gmail, it is what it is. But this will turn Twitter into something else. Rgds Vince

Bad idea.
I don’t forward to the day people start spamming twitter with their links trying to make a few dimes.
I am sure twitter themselves will ban this.
The first person who sends me to a spam link goes into the block list, and i am sure many other people will do the same.
