Why Use Deep Linking
The major benefit of deep linking is publisher teams can monetize a greater portion of a retailer's site, increasing a publishers potential earnings. Deep links direct readers to other retail landing pages, like sales or seasonal promotions, not just specific product offers.

• Easily create deep links directly with your web browser on any participating retailer page. No more long, complicated URLS
• See your estimated rates for participating retailers - Quick access to rates so you can better understand your earnings
• Simplify and improve tracking that will help optimize campaigns, and provides more granular performance data

Getting Started

1. Install - Once you “Add to Chrome” from the Google Chrome Store the extension should appear in your toolbar.
   
   
2. Launch - Launch the extension, validate your credentials in “Extension Options” and enter your Connexity Publisher ID and API key. This information is found in your Publisher Portal under APIs and Tools.
   
   For Campaign and Placement ID fields, enter a placeholder value (e.g. 1, etc.) that you will update before using the link in the next step.
   
   
   
   Enter your Publisher ID and API key
   Campaign IDs are used for publisher's internal tracking purposes. Placement IDs are used so Connexity is able to identify unique traffic sources and price accordingly.
   
   
3. Generate Links - While on a participating retailer page, click on the extension to generate a deep link. Copy the deep link into an editor and replace your placeholder values (from previous step) with the applicable Campaign and Placement IDs. Campaign and Placement IDs are unique to your own traffic source setup.
