LinkShare Deep Linking Bookmarklet

The LinkShare UK blog announced that they are experimenting with a bookmarklet that makes it easier to use their LinkGenerator service, which enables affiliates to easily create an affiliate link while writing a post in WordPress.

The bookmarklet is sort of 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.

There are currently more than a couple dozen merchants available through the LinkShare bookmarklet.

I checked with LinkShare about browser compatibility, and they confirmed that the bookmarklet works with FireFox, IE, Chrome, and Safari.
