A voluntary member-discovery network for NOSA sellers.
Help shoppers discover independent businesses beyond your category.
NOSA LinkShare adds a small member-discovery box to a website you own. It introduces visitors to other NOSA businesses while excluding your selling categories and the businesses you choose to block.
How it worksThe box, as a visitor sees it
Your categories come first
If you sell in two categories, a business that shares either one is excluded. When few businesses qualify, fewer than four are shown. Rules are never relaxed to fill the box.
We exclude businesses in your selling categories and the categories and businesses you block. Refreshes daily; availability may change.
What appears on your website
Up to four business names, each with a short category line, in a compact box that follows your light or dark setting. The links are ordinary outbound links. A labeled, fictional example will appear on the demo page.
Set up in a few steps
- Sign in with NOSA and confirm your selling categories.
- Add the website that will display the box and the destination that should receive visitors.
- Verify you control the site, preview the box, then paste one snippet.
Display versus receive
Some sellers can display the box on a site they control. Others sell only on a marketplace such as Etsy, where custom scripts are not available; they can receive referrals while displaying the box on a separate site they own. Platform labels are published only after a reproducible install is recorded.
Built for referrals
Every link is qualified for search engines. LinkShare is built for discovery and referral visits; rankings and sales are not guaranteed.
You stay in control
Choose light, dark or automatic styling, block specific businesses, pause, or remove the box at any time. Removing it does not cancel your NOSA membership.
- Appearance: light, dark or automatic
- Blocks: exclude specific businesses
- Pause: hide the box without uninstalling
- Remove: take the snippet out whenever you like
Common questions
Could a competitor appear in my box?
We exclude businesses in your selling categories and the categories and businesses you block. Category labels cannot identify every possible competitor, so you can also block a business and report a category mismatch for review.
What if few businesses qualify?
The box shows fewer than four, or a small information link when none qualify. It never pads the list with businesses that fail a rule.
I sell on Etsy. Can I take part?
You can receive referrals to your Etsy shop. Etsy does not offer a supported way to add a custom script, so to display the box you would use a separate site you own.
