Linkshare updates

Starting March 16th, Linkshare Japan reduced the age requirements for registering as an affiliate on their network. The requirement was dropped from 20 years to 18 years. This is in keeping with trends showing a greater amount of mobile and web activity among Japanese teens than previously thought. Many popular blogs and mobile sites are operated by people under 20 years old. By lowering the age limit Linkshare hopes to tap into a lucrative media market.
