Direct linking: does this mean that I can post link here?

    Hi. If a merchant allows direct linking, does this mean that I can post my affiliate link in a message board like forums.digitalpoint.com?

    Or is it only from a search campaigns such as adwords?

    Here is the wording about direct linking: "Search Campaigns - Direct Linking
    Are publishers allowed to link directly to my Web site from search marketing campaigns: Yes."

    Is this forum a search campaign? No. I don't think so. Use some common sense.

    To answer your question, if it's still not clear - no.

    fwallets direct linking means you are able to direct clicks to the merchants home page or what have you. If you place a affiliate link directly to the merchant in here or any forum you will get a quick kick in the butt from cj or any other network you work with, I use dl with ppc (when I feel like losing some cash)

    hmmm akitmane it is against Commission Junctions Terms Of Service To place advertisers Links in Public Spots such as Forums or Craigslist or what have you. The advertisers tos doesn't cover this because CJ took care of it when you signed up and you said you agree to the tos.......u will be here in a month or two saying cj steal monies boohoo.
