Products never seem to be up to date? How can I link to new products?

    I'm more of an Amazon fan because of just how easy it is to link to products, but basically as an example I'm trying to link to the brand new Lenovo T400s via my relationship with Lenovo's CJ program.

    So my problem is that when I search for products to link to it appears their products don't get updated after a significant amount of time.

    i.e. The T400s has been available for purchase for over a week yet it's not available through a search on CJ.com

    How can I link to recently announced / released products? I know it's possible as I saw from this site (scroll down) he has had an affiliate link to it since initially publishing the review.

    Is it just a matter of creating any link through CJ and then removing the code that links to the product with the link to the product you want to use? Then leave behind the affiliate code and the impression pixel?

    PHP:
    See it looks like that's what he's done here perhaps...

    Anyone please help? With Amazon slowly shutting down it's affiliate programs I need to diversify my income streams.

    No one knows how to link to a product that Lenovo doesn't have immediately available through CJ?

    How can you link to recently announced products without being able to circumvent CJ's sh!tty system?

    Please any help?

    Ok I'll pay you $10 via paypal if you can answer the questions I have about the problem I've described if you can provide me a solution that allows me to properly link to new products that have not yet become available on CJ.com.

    Now anyone care to help?

    Contact the merchant who sells the product and ask them to update their feeds...

    Did you read the first post I wrote? It's clear that people are able to link to products that aren't yet available through CJ.

    How do you do this yet still make sure it's registered properly?
