I have many articles on coins, and the Royal Canadian Mint has been on Viglink.  They use Linkshare, and I use Viglink here and Linkshare on my website.  Yesterday they disappeared from Linkshare completely, and have a red X on Viglinks.  In the last week I got a click on Viglink and almost 40 on Linkshare.  Are they gone?  There was no notice, or I missed it.  Or is it the nexus problem my state now has with Amazon spreading?  Thanks.

Yes, this is probably fall out from the nexus law.  Most affiliate programs will automatically terminate their relationships with affiliates in nexus states, many without warning. They just tell Viglink and Linkshare to cancel anyone within certain states. There used to be language that this could happen in many affiliate agreements. I haven't looked for it in a long time though. 

Or they just closed their program without notice. That happens often. I'd contact Linkshare or the company to find out what happened.

Thanks.  I checked with Linkshare and it a temporary hold on their account for everyone.  I suspect the funds may be low and will be added to soon.  At least it is not nexus.

That's wonderful news. Living in a nexus state must be very stressful.
