Welcome to the September issue of The Link! This month we focus on preparing for the 4th Quarter and holiday promotions. Our main article will give you some helpful tips and tricks on how to plan ahead for the busiest money-making time of the year. In the Product Update section read about how LinkShare's proprietary tracking will stand up to the new privacy settings on the new IE8 and Google's Chrome during your most important season. Then the September Best Practices will teach you how to integrate your online and offline holiday campaigns to boost your Internet success. Also, as a follow up to last month's Best Practice article on how to effectively optimize your program through SKU-based offers, the Tip of the Month section will guide you through making those SKU list updates in the advertiser interface. In the UK Corner, read about some US advertisers who have launched successful UK affiliate programs. Don't forget to take a look at our highlighted publishers in the Publisher Spotlight and New and Notable Publishers sections!
