    I wonder if they will switch over to the same search algorithm as Bing.

    Microsoft is an enormous company and since they bought Linkedin, where all the business owners are, how will they capitalized?

    As for affiliate marketing, I didn't see many people doing it on Linkedin for a while now. I see a few here and there, but it's not prime real estate for affiliate marketers since most of the business owners there are just trying to pitch their own services Linkedin sold to Microsoft. Will this help your business? I know that the only reason I made a linkedin account was to push my services at users who were higher up in their company or they owned the company. I was trying to cut out the middle men and secretaries lol Linkedin sold to Microsoft. Will this help your business?

    For me, I don't think anything will change in terms of marketing on Linkedin. I do hope they reduce the marketing costs so everyone can have a chance to push a link or banner to the masses. Right now the cost per click is king of ridiculous and the conversions are even worse. Well that's just from my experience with Linkedins advertising in the past Linkedin sold to Microsoft. Will this help your business?

    How would someone push an affiliate link through linkedin? Would you just send your connections a private message or would you post in groups and add affiliate links within your content? I'm kind of curious about this because I would assume that Linkedin would be pretty quick to delete any posts or comments with affiliate links within them.

    Hi sanfora Thanks for your question and I do not know news authentication of LinkedIn sold by Microsoft corporation. And according to your concern, I do not think so if they sold, it will not get any negative effect for your mentioned areas like affiliate and other business, Rather I think and you know Microsoft is world largest company and they do exclusive business over the years. And if they sold LinkedIn they should more develop all areas rather than before. And I agree with Razzy points and I do not think so in term of marketing anything will change on LinkedIn.

    I am laughing at my ignorance. This discussion is dated 2016 and the fact that LinkedIn was bought by Microsoft is news to me. I have had a LinkedIn account for years and never noticed any significant changes.

    I confess that it is a business move I don't understand. But Microsoft owner Bill Gates did not get to be one of the richest men in the world by asking me for business advice. LOL. Linkedin sold to Microsoft. Will this help your business? Linkedin sold to Microsoft. Will this help your business?
