    Hi ,


    I am quite new to the affiliate stuff and I would like to know how terrible it is to only use the textlink WITHOUT the 1 pixel image.

    My website system would not easily allow that so from experience is that a problem for being paid ??
    Do I have to rewrite my whole site to have their fu...g 1 pixel added, the textlink not sufficient for being paid ?

    IMO it is needed to track impressions. Otherwize they will not know they CTR of that page. If you add the code It probably will turn out you get clicks with no impressions and that would send off a flag that something is wrong to them

    i dont think it sends off any flags, otherwise you wouldnt be able to use them with ppc programs cause they wont show any impressions, link will just go straight to merchant site

    Here's an email directly from them about modifying links:

    I'm not using the tracking pixel and the result is that I have normal sales and no flags until now

    My stats show:

    Impressions: 0
    CTR%: N/A

    That's good to know - i am a little worried though :(
    the 1x1 pixel stuff is stupid, useful but stupid as a mandatory feature :)

    the CJ tracking feature is great when used and the reporting is detailed,
    but pixel or no pixel, cheques still keep coming in.
