Rakuten is a relatively little known affiliate system Joe Anne. Must investigate!

Yes, Rakuten is not the affiliate system they acquired Linkshare for that. Linkshare have been around for a while until Rakuten acquisition. I have not been able to get a good grasp of how they operate since. Wal-Mart and some other major chains still have them for their affiliate management. My investigation revealed Linkshare is now a Subsidiary of Rakuten. Do your investigation start with Wiki you will find them helpful. Please let me know if you find their process helpful? Until then I will utilize my alternatives.

Allow me to update. Thank you so much for your comment. It pushed me to further look into breaking down
the barriers of my success with Rakuten/Linkshare Marketing and like WA it exposed me to the hidden barriers. I found the solution and now it is within my top 3 solutions to Affiliate Publishing. Thank you once again for your comment it helped me.
