Google Affiliate Network Releases New "Browse Links"

We are pleased to announce the release of a new links interface for Google Affiliate Network publishers. With the new “Browse Links” update publishers can view all available links for current relationships, quickly find high-potential ads and join new advertiser programs.

We’ve added advanced filter options like expiration date, promotional and creative specs, as well as advertiser Earnings per Click performance data alongside the links for your reference. Publishers will also see a dramatic improvement in the creative preview features and. in addition to accessing the links live, can export links as .csv or .txt files.

All publishers have access to the beta but still can access the legacy links interface and toggle back and forth if needed (although we don’t think you’ll want to!). We will continue to iterate on the beta and we invite you to provide your feedback in our Help Forum.

Finding and Building Product-Specific Links

Google Affiliate Network publishers can now easily browse across relationships to find products and build links to specific products. The product search feature allows publishers to access aspects of the advertiser’s product feed within the Google Affiliate Network interface. Publishers can view product price, image, category and description in addition to tracking and creative urls.

To search for a product, sign in and go to the “Products” tab. Next enter the name of a product you want to promote on your website and click ‘go.’ Your product search results will appear ranked by relevancy to the keyword entered.

Please note that specific criteria will generate better results. You can search by criteria such as keywords, brand, advertiser name, product name, UPC, ISBN, MPN and/or SKU. To exclude products place a minus (-) in front of any of your criteria. For example, "digital camera -accessories".
