New Deep Link Interface for Publishers is now Live - Get Enabled for Deep Links
by Ian Rosenwach
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. The new deep link interface is located in a more accessible part of the publisher interface and looks like this:
In order for you to support this feature you must be enabled for LinkBuilder.
To become technically enabled, you must meet the following criteria:
- Your MLP syntax supports an absolute URL, i.e. you enter an absolute URL as the landing URL versus some other value.
-
The URLs on your site do not include any session specific information.
- Your site supports framing.
Turning the feature on is as simple as checking a box in the merchant interface (see screenshot below.) We do ask that you consult with your LinkShare account manager to confirm that you can be enabled based on your link structure.
- Click on Individual Product Links in the Links/Merchandiser section
-
Tick the box at the top of the page next to the text beginning "Enable affiliates..."
Enable deep linking today so you can empower your publishers to drive more sales!
