The great thing about ProsperLinks is that it doesn't compete with your existing ad space. You can still run adsense ads on your sites, or ads from any other network for that matter. ProsperLinks highlights references to products in your actual content, so it isn't competing with your already profitable ad units. In other words, it's completely risk free to run on your site
The JavaScript file has been updated, ProsperLinks has a newly redesigned box for displaying products and coupons. No changes need to be made on your end, as the plugin automatically links to the updated file.
