Linkshare and Overstock Part Ways

Written by FlamingoGirl on February 11th, 2009

Linkshare announced in their blog (looks like Linkshare now removed the blog post) today that they are parting ways with long time partner Overstock.com.

No word from Overstock.com on this yet to affiliates, as a matter of fact we just got their affiliate newsletter with a ton of Linkshare affiliate links to put up. I don’t know if Overstock is going to go in-house, move to another network or what, hopefully they let their affiliates know soon.

Overstock is a huge program and will be a big loss for Linkshare. There must have been some major issues if Linkshare decided to not work with Overstock. Or Did Overstock quit Linkshare and Linkshare is just posting damage control before word gets out from other sources?

Let the speculating begin!

    Hmm, I'll start :-) …Overstock was one of the first merchants that booted New York affiliates, weren't they? Maybe there is some tie in to that issue in some twisted way
