Certain Publishers may have hundreds of advertiser relationships. When you are in so many programs it can be difficult to keep track of vital pieces of Advertiser information like commission terms, contact information etc.
On Friday we released a report called the Consolidated Advertiser Report in the Publisher Dashboard to help with this. This report has information on all of your Advertisers in one place.
We’ve also heard about a new WordPress plug-in from a Developer in the UK that enables WordPress users to easily include product links from LinkShare Advertisers’ on their site. It uses the Merchandiser Query Tool Web Service to pull products from Advertisers you have a relationship with. Here’s some information from the plug-in creator:
How does it work?
Simply is the answer, you download the zip file, unzip the contents and upload the linkshareplugin folder to your wordpress plugins folder.
Then, you activate it in your plugins area on your admin dashboard, and set up the parameters in your settings admin area.
Then you simply add code like this [ ls lsquery="maternity jeans" lsmid="35208" lsno="40" lssort="asc" pnum="1"]
Here’s an example page built using the plug-in. You can find more information and download the plug-in at Pan Fashion.
