Partially unrelated to both meanings of "deep link" the author identifies, the term is very much used today in the world of affilliate marketing.
If you have a blog and want to send your reader directly to a specific product on a ecommerce store, you create a "deeplink". A link, directly to a product page, containing your affiliate id and all the stuff that the Affiliate Network tracks.
