- Earn 2% of the subscription fee (currently that fee is $4.99) per month for each Rdio Web subscriber you referred

- 30-day cookie window
If you're creating an app using the Rdio API, use this offer to send your users to Rdio and earn a commission from all your hard work. For more details on the program, sign up for a LinkShare account and look at our advertiser page on their site.
Once you've signed up you can create links using the LinkShare deep linking tool. The links are a pretty straight-forward format, so you can write code to craft your own affiliate links or use the LinkGenerator web service to generate links programatically. Alternatively there are banners and badges you can use.
Embeds
You can use Rdio's embeddable players with affiliate links too:
1) First, log into Linkshare's deep linking tool, to fetch a URL with their parameters. Select "Rdio" from the Advertiser list, paste in the Rdio URL you'll be embedding, and an optional U1 Value if you need it. Their tool will return something like:
http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=1CxKMv3HAfo&subid=&offerid=221756.1&type=10&tmpid=7950&RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fwww.rdio.com%252F%2523%252Fartist%252FThe_Anniversary%252Falbum%252FDesigning_A_Nervous_Breakdown%252F
2) Grab the linkshare-specific parameters (?id=1CxKMv3HAfo&subid=&offerid=221756.1&type=10&tmpid=7950), and manually type "linkshare_" in front of each parameter to get something like:
?linkshare_id=1CxKMv3HAfo&linkshare_subid=&linkshare_offerid=221756.1&linkshare_type=10&linkshare_tmpid=7950
3) paste this at the end of the rd.io link in the embed code, for example:
<iframe width="500" height="250" src="http://rd.io/i/QF5DPkdoaw?linkshare_id=1CxKMv3HAfo&linkshare_subid=&linkshare_offerid=221756.1&linkshare_type=10&linkshare_tmpid=7950" frameborder="0">
4) there is no step 4.
