20100058160METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR MONETIZING EDITORIAL AND USER-GENERATED CONTENT VIA CONVERSION INTO AFFILIATE MARKETING LINKS - Methods and systems for monetizing editorial and user-generated content via conversion into affiliate marketing links. Aspects of the disclosure, for example, are directed to methods and systems configured to enable rewriting of URLs based on a synchronized database of merchants collected from a breadth of affiliate networks. In several embodiments, for example, upon posting of a URL to a user-generated website or on clicking of a URL on such a site by a user, the server system compares the domain name of the URL against a database of merchants synchronized across multiple affiliate networks. When a merchant's domain name is found, the server system may convert the URL using a deep linking syntax outlined in the merchant database so that the URL becomes an affiliate link that leads to the original URL via the corresponding affiliate network. User clicks on this converted URL may generate affiliate commissions.03-04-2010
