We’ve made two enhancements to our LinkGenerator deep linking bookmarklet!

Publishers can now-

  1. Add a U1 value, if you use Signature to track sub-sites or members
  2. Append promotional text and get back an HTML link

For those of you that are not familiar with the LinkGenerator bookmarklet, you can use it to create a tracking link to a specific page on an Advertiser site…with the click of a button!   Creating targeted tracking links has never been easier.  You can also easily share the link with your Facebook and Twitter followers.

This is what the pop-up window will look like after you’ve clicked the LinkGenerator bookmark:

Pick up the LinkGenerator bookmarklet here in the Bento Box.  First you’ll need to input your web services token, and then click-and-drag the LinkGenerator hyperlink to your browser favorites bar.  You’ll only have to do this once.  Then navigate to a page on an Advertiser site you want to create a tracking link to and click the LinkGenerator bookmark.  You’ll get back a link to that page along, with options to shorten and share on Facebook and Twitter.

You’ll find step-by-step instructions on using the bookmarklet here.

There are more exciting additions coming to the Bento Box very soon – stay tuned!

Happy linking,

Ian Rosenwach, Product Manager
