Click the bookmark to open the Triggit web app, click the button for your network, highlight the text you want to turn into a link, and click save. The Triggit tool runs a search against the networks API for that text, finds the deep URL and automatically turns the text into a cloaked link.

I think we should try and find out the time it takes to create a deeplink with the differnet merchants. As Advanced MP3 Players is on many networks we should compare how long it takes to create a deeplink to: http://www.advancedmp3players.co.uk/shop/MP3_Players.1/Samsung.83/YP-P2JAB_XEU/Samsung_YP-P2_4GB_Bluetooth_Portable_Media_Player.2691.html and chuffing heck, that's a long URL Josh!

Paid on Results - 18 seconds The link overview is very handy buy.at - 75 seconds Also very slow today but the selection screen between v2 or v3 always slows things up Webgains - 29 seconds Link Matrix means everything is to hand. How about some other times? I'm using Roboform to speed up the login but maybe my methods aren't the best. I’ll start with some times

I'll stick with basic links for now and then see after that.

Only on some networks a text link is easy but the deeplink leaves you needing medication ;-) Especially when it doesn't work anyway because you've left out that "/" ! There seem to be plenty of sites for code-hacks eg. for css / IE etc. and plenty of sites for learning bits of useful PC control techniques. Is there one for affiliate help ? (I don't mean giving away revenue-earning secrets, I mean one for really useful tips for each network). Hi,
