PRODUCT UPDATE
New Deep Link Interface for Publishers
On the 10th of March we released a new Deep Linking interface in the publisher dashboard. Publishers can use this feature to create LinkShare tracking links to any page on your site. A deep link will generally convert better than a generic home page link as the visitor has already engaged their interest to a particular product or category from the publisher's site. In order for you to support this feature you must be enabled for LinkBuilder. Most advertisers have the technical requirements needed to offer deep linking, but the feature must be activated in the advertiser interface. We'd like to get as many advertisers on board as possible! Read more
