Welcome to the Publisher Newsletter! We have added two new regular feature articles, “Please Explain...” and “Letters to the Editor.” To kick it off we have, “Please Explain...What's in a Link?” In our “Letters to the Editor” section, you may submit your questions via newsletter@linkshare.com. In future issues, we will print your questions, along with answers. We can't promise to answer everything that is submitted, but we hope this will be a means to create a newsletter that you look forward to reading. In this month's Product Update, you can learn about our new deep linking feature. Check out our Advertiser Spotlight for some programs that you may want to joint today!
Product Update
Announcing the new Publisher Dashboard Deep Link Interface!
On March 9th we released a new Deep Linking interface in the Dashboard. You can use this feature to create LinkShare tracking links to any page on an Advertiser's site.
In order for an Advertiser to support this feature they must be enabled for LinkBuilder. The functionality of this tool is similar to that of LinkBuilder, except now you can create deep links for multiple advertisers all in one place.
Using the new interface is easy:
- In a new tab, navigate to a page on an advertiser site you'd like to link to
- Select the advertiser from the drop down
- Choose your output format. You can create just a tracking link, a text link, or an image link. If an image link, input the image URL
- If you'd like to append a U1 value, enter the U1
- Hit Create Link
Take it for a spin today!

Please Explain...
What's In a link?
by Prasida Newman
Have you ever wondered, what's in a link? A link is a link, is a link. But by any other name, will it still track your commissions? Let's take a look. Here is a typical example:
http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=KgGHO0LswUU&offerid=85078.10058801&type=4
Now let's break it down.
click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click
This identifies the link as coming from LinkShare.
?id=KgGHO0LswUU
This is your unique, 11-digit Publisher code, which was assigned to you when you registered as a LinkShare Publisher. If you get a link from within your account in the LinkShare interface, this id automatically populates.
&offerid=85078.10058801
Before the decimal, the numbers indicate the specific offer that your link identifies. After the decimal, the numbers track clicks and may also indicate the landing page to which the link goes.
&type=4
This is the link type.Here is a list of the various link types offered by LinkShare:
1 Email
2 Product
3 Text
4 Banner
5 Searchbox
6 StoreFront
10 LinkBuilder
14 Dynamic Rich Media
15 Merchandiser
Now that we have Deep Linking available, creating links is easier than ever! Please see Product Update to learn more about our new, deep linking feature.
