Update your web service URL's
We recently made some important system enhancements to increase the performance of our Web Services features. These changes required us to update the URLs listed below. If you use these services or have created custom applications that use these services, please update your Web Service URLs accordingly.

On a related note, make sure to update any plugins you might be using for WordPress. LinkShare's plugins for WordPress use various Web services.

The old URL for the Coupon Web Service will be retired on May 15, 2011.

All other old URLS will be retired on June 11, 2011.

•	What is LinkShare Lightning? LinkShare's new Ad Network that lets you create multi-advertiser ad units that optimize automatically by serving the best converting ad.
•	Think of an ad unit as a container for an ad to be displayed on your site in a size that you choose (IAB standard sizes).
•	Lightning will determine the best converting ad and display that one more often.
•	YOU CONTROL which Advertiser ads appear on your site - simply exclude the Advertisers that are not a good fit.
•	Ad units can include just one Advertiser or multiple Advertisers that you select.

Now is a great time work with us on this exciting new project. Your input will have a direct impact on new features implemented.
