Help me trouble-shoot my outsourcing issue...

[DEALSSITE]

I co-run a deal site where we list daily deals from around the net. Normally, I post these deals but I've recently added someone to help me. Right now, I'm paying him to just write up the deal but not publish it. I have to go back in to CJ and create the direct link to the product and then publish it to the site. I want to be able to avoid this extra step.

Does anyone know how I could allow someone to create links with my code, but not get access to my personal account information (commission received, passwords, etc)? I'm referring to CJ mainly but I also use linkshare and performics...Among others.

Thanks.

couldn't you give him your publisher ID, and he can get his own CJ account and then just replace the publisher ID in his link?

For CJ You can just give him this...

The only problem is that you'd need to create a link template for each advertiser as they AID's are different (obviously). If you have 100 advertisers and he uses the wrong one for the wrong link, it won't work properly.

Then all he needs to do is put the destination url at the end and you have your aff link.

How about setting everything up on your own Adserver, such as OpenX. Once you've got all the merchants on there, you can give him permissions to create ads etc but not view stats. (Plus you get extra tracking, geo-targetting, ad rotation, etc, etc)
