Linkshare has made a post on their blog acknowledging the recent issues that have been raised about OneCause.
Toolbars and Network Quality | LinkShare Blog: “We take network quality seriously. That’s why we have a team dedicated to preserving the integrity of our network. That team applied the same standards to the OneCause toolbar as any other publisher toolbar. Some publishers may not like toolbars, and may disagree with the idea that it’s okay for a toolbar to allow ‘an end user’s express and informed consent’ to see a ‘special offer or proposal’, but that is a different issue. We wanted to take a moment to reinforce to the community that we remain committed to ensuring that all members of our network are compliant with our Network Policies & Guidelines.

That’s for sure!
Anyway, good for Mark for coming out to address these issues on the Linkshare blog. Looks like he’s got comments turned on. If you’ve got feedback for him, that’d be a good place to leave it.
