Link Generation. Be Free offers the highest rate of flexibility for link generation in the industry. Specifically, Be Free allows merchants to offer product-specific links, categorical links, promotional links, and product-search links to their affiliates. A key component of the Be Free architecture is an abstraction layer which underlies ALL of the above listed link types. This abstraction layer ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ the affiliate link from the specific URL to which it is redirected. This will benefit GeoCities directly by allowing it to switch merchants who provide a specific type of merchandise without requiring its affiliates to alter their links, assuming an industry-standard product identification or conversion- table is available. Secondly, this allows merchants to re-architect their web sites without invalidating their affiliate links. Sophisticated affiliates who prefer to work directly with HTML may go to a link generation section of the Sales Center. In this section they may choose from a list of available search links, category links, and promotional links. They may also choose product-specific links using a product search interface, which allows them to find specific products by category, type, keyword, identifier, and other criteria. After choosing one or more links, BFAST will generate HTML fragments and present them to the user to allow them to cut and paste them into their pages.
