Link Locator Direct

At LinkShare we continually look for new and innovative ways for advertisers to distribute their links to publishers quickly, effectively and accurately. Link Locator Direct was developed to encourage your publishers to create key standard image categories and have them populated with current, relevant links.

Why would this interest your publishers? For example, if your publishers are interested in all your "free shipping" offers, all they would need to do is look within that category instead of searching your entire inventory of links. This will both save time by ensuring they locate the links they need to drive sales.

Newest Features

Link Locator Direct is a new web-services feature that enables you to more widely distribute Link Locator categorized creative to all your publishers through three XML data feeds. There are three available feeds:

• Home Links - Links to your default landing page
• Text Links - Links to your Link Locator-categorized text link creative
• Banner Links - Links to your Link Locator-categorized banner creative
