LYNX
Search, Affiliate and Referral Links
searchLynx extends the functionality of links quickly and easily. Links are converted to send users to specific search results by simply inserting Site Names inside the link's HREF.
Customizing the Sites and Keywords is easy and searchLynx comes packing an incredibly comprehensive collection of expandable Sites - from Fashion to Online Auctions.
searchLynx also accepts Site Collections - and automatically converts them to stylable drop-down menus - allowing your customers to pick what Sites they want to explore.
To create a link that will search Amazon for "Socks":
<a href="amazon" class="searchlynx">Socks</a>Search Amazon for Socks.
To create a link that allows users to search multiple Sites for "Jabba the Hutt":
<a href="Amazon; ebay;" class="searchlynx">Jabba the Hutt</a>Search for:
searchLynx includes the option to display Site Logos. With a single setting searchLynx automatically selects all appropriate logos for you. Because not all projects are the same and some logo styling may be desired, searchLynx includes a layered PSD with all logos for all Sites. Using the example above, settings are added directly to this link:
data-searchlynx='{ "logo" : true, "label" : "Software on 2 Sites" }'Search for:
searchLynx also allows users to search from any of the 120+ built in online stores by simply highlighting text. Try highlighting some text to see searchLynx's customizable Search Context Menu.
searchLynx also supports passing an unlimted number of variables into the URL. This is perfect for affiliate linking, referrals and further customizations. Why not get paid when referring users to search for broader subjects? searchLYNX allows you to easily append your own custom text with your referral information.
Powerful & Versatile
searchLynx is specifically designed for linking to retail stores and auctions from product review pages, and can be applied
to many search scenarios. Additionally, searchLynx is ideal for educational sites - providing users with many outlets for
research on any given subject. Implementing searchLynx into any website doesn't require any coding experience and takes only a couple of minutes.
Flexible Link Settings
Besides standard usage, searchLynx provides alternative methods and events for setting up searchLynx.
You can customize keywords and labels easily as shown in the Logo Insertion Example.
Expandable Collections
Site Collections can contain unlimited Sites (separated by semi-colons). To make things even easier, searchLynx includes preset Site Collections. For example, to assign all of the Tech Sites to a link, just use [SET=Tech] in the HREF. A complete list is provided in the comprehensive documentation.
