I'm running a price comparison site for books that recently joined Buy.com's affiliate program. Unlike most affiliate programs where there is a set pattern that I can use to link to their site based on my affiliate ID and the book's ISBN, Buy.com requires me to manually go to a form, enter a specific book's URL, and then generates a random link for me (sometimes based on the book's SKU number, sometimes not) that often doesn't work until 30 minutes after I generate it. I was wondering if anyone knows a way that I can automatically make affiliate links to buy.com without having to go through this tedious process?
Also, I read in an article that Buy.com has developed XML services for affiliates - does anyone know anything about this? I can't seem to find anything about it on buy.com's site, and they haven't responded to my emails. Thanks!
