New CJ Search Marketing Policy?

Jeremy, have you had a chance yet to take a look at CJ's new link management initiative? I am trying to figure out exactly what this means for people wanting to do PPC, whether it will have any impact or not.
Thanks,
Dylmom

Hi Dylmom,
I posted a blog on Revenews about it this week:

Scott Jangro (a former CJ employee) posted some good observations too:

There's also an active forum on Webmaster World discussing the issue:

I know a lot of affiliates are freaking out about this change right now, but I don't think it's cause for major concern... yet ;)
My questions are:
How will it be implemented? and How smooth will the transition be?
Best,
Jeremy
Thanks, Jeremy.
I do plain old affiliate marketing via websites too, so can't identify myself as solely a search marketer. It will be interesting to see what they mean by this - maybe we'll have to set up a separate account specifically for search marketing?
