Free iPods

Posted on January 9, 2005 by Adam

Someone sent me a link to this site offering free ipods. What’s the catch, you ask? Simply complete one of their “offers”, which include things like requesting an AOL CD in the mail or opening a trial membership on some websites (like Ancestry.com). Then send the link to five of your friends. Once your five friends have completed their offers, they will ship you the iPod of your choice. Interesting deal. Sounds like a scam at first, but this same place has been around for a while, giving away various other products to get you to sign up with an advertiser.

With the pay for placement market what it is, it doesn’t surprise me to see an advertiser pay top dollar to this company in order to get a sign-up. Let’s do the math:

If an advertiser pays $50 for a sign-up, and in order to get a free iPod, you and 5 friends must sign-up, that’s $300. What’s a mini-iPod go for these days? About $250. That’s a net profit of $50 per person that they make, and I get a free iPod out of it. Interesting business model. Now let’s see if I can get the last two completions I need to get my silver mini-iPod.

Update:
I’m happy to say that I’ve completed my five offers (but click on the links above to help my wonderful wife Dena get hers. Other people are reporting receiving their iPods and are quite happy with the results.

Update #2:
I found a little package on my front porch after work today.

This packing slip sure looks interesting….

Behold!

My free iPod has arrived, proof to the naysayers that claimed the FreeIpods.com was a scam.

Here is a site for free ipods, gaming systems etc… where you don’t need referalls! You earn points throgh offers, then spend them! If you get a few refs, you do get extra points, but you can get prizes without them.
check it out now! and sign up

Florence Flask was … dressing for the opera when she turned to her
husband and screamed, Erlenmeyer! My joules! Someone has stolen my
joules!

Now, now, my dear, replied her husband, keep your balance and reflux
a moment. Perhaps they’re mislead.

No, I know they’re stolen, cried Florence. I remember putting them
in my burette … We must call a copper.

Erlenmeyer did so, and the flatfoot who turned up, one Sherlock Ohms,
said the outrage looked like the work of an arch-criminal by the name
of Lawrence Ium.

We must be careful — he’s a free radical, ultraviolet, and
dangerous. His girlfriend is a chlorine at the Palladium. Maybe I can
catch him there. With that, he jumped on his carbon cycle in an
activated state and sped off along the reaction pathway …
