LinkShare Launches New Pay-Per-Call Platform

New York, NY (PRWEB) August 5, 2009 -- LinkShare, a leading performance marketing network provider, today announced a new and innovative technology that enables advertisers to extend their reach to a larger base of publishers - while enabling publishers to earn more commissions per transaction. The new pay-per-call platform tracks completed calls that publishers drive to advertisers' call centers, thus opening affiliate marketing up to offline activity.

The new platform allows publishers to promote unique phone numbers through on-or offline media, or also earn commissions when customers opt to call the phone number on an Advertiser's site. Publishers can sign up to use the new platform by visiting www.linkshare.com/paypercall. The platform will also be shown at the upcoming Affiliate Summit East in New York City (August 9 -11, 2009). Attendees can stop by the LinkShare booth (Booth #1221) for a live demonstration. More...

I have a Pay Per Call webinar from Commission Junction today that I'm "attending."

I'm interested to learn a lot more about it.

[7 Days Ron]

Yes, please let us know how it goes. I have a client at SAS who is interested in their Pay-per-call system and we are currently in the investigative stages of this new opportunity. I'd also very much like to hear from merchants as to the success (or not) of this.

I somehow feel we have come full circle with this, having phone orders long before the internet, then the internet boom and now using the internet to drive phone orders.

[Oregon Coast Guy]

I'll let you know
