1) Why is this not on goole.com?
2) It's a prank. Register for spam :D

pretty sure Google used to have an affiliate program like this a few years ago.

pretty sure a few members here made some good $ from it, although it NO longer is active from what i heard.

The important thing to note in the filename is the directory "collectibles". Tis not a prank, but history rather. The page was first recorded by archive.org in April of 2003 and was a snapshot of the real google some time (way) before that. Note the copyright at the bottom of the page and click on the link to the index page for some real fun.

Hmm... it would seem the program is/was handled by BeFree because reporting.net is/was involved in tracking.

Go to your original URL

[preg.org...]

then go to the Google page

[google.com...]

and note at the bottom

"Note: This page posted for April Fool's Day - 2000." :)

This programme did exist, and no it wasn't an April fool.

Look at archive.org from 2000/2001 for more info:

e.g. the application form [web.archive.org ]
