By 2015, it’s estimated that shoppers from around the world will
spend approximately £75 billion on goods and services bought
through their mobile phones.
Further validating the market opportunity, technology industry
analysts at Forrester Research, Inc. found that on average, retailers
surveyed reported that their mobile browsers are generating 2.8
percent of overall site traffic and two percent of Web revenue.
In the same report, Forrester found that “affiliate marketing surfaced
as a strong customer acquisition tool.”

While PC sales skews to weekend, Mobile sales are almost flat

1. Non-Intrusive - 100% opt-in, so your customers will not feel
that you are being intrusive.
2. Tracking - You can track all your offers on mobile in the same
way
3. Eco-Friendly - By not printing vouchers or sending direct mail
you can show you are helping the environment.
4. Increased relevance - Using advanced GPS technology, you
can target customers by location
5. Higher Redemptions - Mobile vouchers have a 30%
redemption rate, much higher than the 3-5% redemption rate
for printable vouchers.

The Role of Networks
In their existence, Affiliate Networks are here to:
• Facilitate
• Track
• Optimise
• Educate
For ALL types of affiliate marketing
43Copyright 2010 LinkShare Corporation. All rights reserved.
Doing Our Part
August 2010, LinkShare has tested, validated
and ensured its tracking technology works
across multiple mobile devices and platforms.
Extensive testing on leading smartphone
platforms:
• Apple iPhone
• Android
• Blackberry
• Palm

LinkShare Tracking from a mobile browser
From SmartPhone Mobile Browsers
Tracking functions exactly the same as
if user was browsing from a standard
Web Browser(IE,Firefox, etc)
As mobile sites are actually distinct
websites(m.company.com vs
www.company.com), another instance
of LinkShare tracking needs to be
installed and tested
From WAP Browsers
Enterprise tracking is capable of
reporting transactions from WAP
browsers
Pixel tracking will not be able to
attribute return days(on any browser
that can’t handle cookies)
45Copyright 2010 LinkShare Corporation. All rights reserved.
How are Smartphone browsers different?
Based on internet standards
(HTML,XML,TCP/IP)
Can correctly render the majority of
website content on the web
Capable of handling cookies
Smartphones have enough processing
power and memory to handle a full
HTML browser
Can render Javascript, allowing for
enhanced User Experience

Common Problems with M-Commerce
Various browsers have different behaviors (example: Flash support)
Just like with standard web browsers, some platforms have unique bugs
(example: unable to checkout and complete transaction)
As the “Era of Mobility” is still in its infancy(in the US), Advertisers have not
created a consistent user experience across mobile browsers (just how some
standard websites do not support Chrome or IE6)
Some Ecommerce sites do not have “checkout” functionality built into their
mobile platform, instead redirecting users to standard website checkout (not
mobile formatted)
51Copyright 2010 LinkShare Corporation. All rights reserved.
Advice For Publishers:
1. Only promote Advertiser who have been tested for mobile tracking
2. You are sending your own customers to an Advertiser – so test out
the mobile user experience
3. Be direct! The fewer the clicks from a publisher’s mobile promotion
to a purchase page the better. Estimated 10% with each click
4. Demand that advertisers upload mobile banners (this helps
everyone in the network): 300 x 500, 216 x 36, 168 x 28, 120 x 20
52Copyright 2010 LinkShare Corporation. All rights reserved.
Advice For Advertisers:
1. Explicitly state in your webserver which users should be redirected
to the mobile site.
2. Include Universal Product Code (UPC) in your feed so mobile
publishers can link product scans or comparison shopping on
directly to a product’s buy page on the mobile site
3. Get your mobile site tested for tracking with LinkShare
4. In the US, consumers are checking their email more on mobile
than on PC. So you are already being promoted on mobile, so
consider your options
53Copyright 2010 LinkShare Corporation. All rights reserved.
Advice For Both Publishers & Advertisers:
1. Communicate
2. Align your objectives
