Getting Links & Introducing LinkShare’s Bento Box

Shokado bento is a traditional black-lacquered Japanese bento box. It inspired IBM's (later sold to Lenovo) ThinkPad design.

The number of different ways that you can get your hands on LinkShare merchant links is increasing every month. Through the LinkShare interface there are a number of ways to do this, such as through the create links pages, Product Linkfinder with its advanced search options, the newly improved Deep Link Interface allowing you to link to any page on an Advertiser's site and Merchandiser Data Feeds.

There are more, I'd like to take a moment to introduce you to
LinkShare's Bento Box. Alongside the traditional link distribution methods available in the Publisher Interface the Bento Box is designed as a convenient place to keep track of our early-stage features and 3rd party plug-ins. Today you will find our Deep Linking Bookmarklet, our WordPress plug-ins as well as a Mac widget, and also links to some developers making good use of LinkShare Web Services.

Web Seminar
Online Video Demonstrations

In this seminar, you will hear from Victoria Edwards, SEO Internet Marketing Specialist at LinkShare. She will share with you SEO best practices, including ideas that may help you increase your search traffic. The following quote highlights the growing importance of search marketing: "A recent MarketingSherpa study shows top organic positions are clicked 20 percent of the time and top paid-advertising positions are clicked 10 percent of the time. However, if a site has a top organic position and a top paid-advertising position, the links to the site are clicked 60 percent of the time. It's an unusual situation: 10 + 20 = 60."
