We’ve been experimenting with a bookmarklet that makes it much easier to use the LinkGenerator service to create a commission-paying link for any merchant that’s a partner.  Think of a bookmarklet as a web browser bookmark with some built-in functionality.   For example, many social sites use bookmarklets to allow users to share sites from around the web.  This tool will make it easier than ever to create deep links on an advertiser site, without having to log in to the publisher dashboard.

Please go to the LinkShare Bento Box to install the bookmarklet.

These are the advertisers that will work with the bookmarklet:

Links creating using the bookmarklet will report as LinkBuilder links.  You’ll also need to have a relationship with the advertiser.

This is just a beta tool and we’re just testing it. When it’s successful, we’ll roll it out to a wide audience and this may require you to rebuild the bookmarklet by repeating steps (2) and (3).
