CJ Link Management Initiative isn’t going to happen

Seems like CJ is changing its thought about the controversial Link Management Initiative. An announcement titled Upcoming Changes in Getting Links said than on August 30th, 2006 publishers will notice changes in getting links in the CJ Account Manager.

The change will make it easier for publishrs to choose either HTML or JavaScript links. To reitrate there are no plans to remove support for HTML links. Looks like the community effort to sign the petition was successful.
