How to insert the adcode in wordpress correctly?

    Hi,
    I tried to use the ad code I gain from CJ which is,

    {<a href="<a href="http://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-3082524-10522813" target="_top">
    <img src="http://www.tqlkg.com/image-3082524-10522813" width="468" height="60" alt="eToro" border="0"/></a>" target="_top">
    <img src="http://www.tqlkg.com/image-3082524-10522813" width="468" height="60" alt="eToro" border="0"/></a>}

    But when I posted it the image is not showing up in my wordpress blog. But in the blank space where the image is supposed to be a hyperlink appeared.So I hosted the image in my server then inserted my aff link which I beleive,
    http://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-3082524-10522813

    Problem with this I can see number of clicks everyday. But not the impressions. Not that I care about number of impressions but will CJ be able to track me correctly this way.

    Now I am using something like this,

    <a href="http://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-3082524-10522813" target="_blank"><img style="margin: 5px 20px 5px 50px" src="image URL hosted in my server" /></a>

    I really appreciate if some one could help me. It means a lot.:)

    Thank you in advance.

    Are you sure you haven't blocked cj.com domains in your hosts file?

    easy way is to try and click on your link.. if you get a page not found type of message, then you will need to find out where it's being blocked from. Check windows\system32\drivers\etc

    The file name is called hosts

    your update didnt look right either.. try this,

    <a href="http://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-3082524-10522813" target="_top" >
    <img src="http://www.tqlkg.com/image-3082524-10522813" width="468" height="60" alt="eToro" border="0" /></a>

    it is just that the banner image won't show up. But when i click on the space where the banner is supposed to be in, it goes to the advertisers page without any problems.

    Is it ok if I just use a self hosted image to the affiliate link ? Will they count it. Of course there will not be impressions but if the sales can be tracked that is enough for me...

    Are you running any over active ad blockers or "anti spyware" applications?
    Some of these will block banners from certain domains.

    You should also check to make sure that it's not just YOU who can't see the banner.

    Check your site on browsrcamp.com (or something similar), or give us your URL :)

    No buddy it did not work either,
    As far as i know the image URL is this,
    http://www.tqlkg.com/image-3082524-10522813
    Code (markup):
    But when i separated it in enter in to the browser also it did not show up any images.

    So what I have done so far is , I uploaded an image to root folder and linked my affiliate URL to it.And Wehn I log in to my commission junction account today It showed 34 clicks but no impressions.I guess that is because i am not using their image URL.I am okay as long as they are able to track the click and sales.

    Anybody thinks, I am losing tracks because of this?

    Thanks everyone specially "darkmessiah" for the help

    Thanks everyone for the help. I appreciate a lot.As Kerosene said I quit my kasspersky anti virus and the banners started showing...Which means every person who has kaspersky cannot view the ads.Thats something to think about. Isn't it?

    Kaspersky isn't the only anti-virus/spyware/adware that does this.

    You might want to consider using text ads (your text, their links) as well as, or instead of banners. Banners generally don't convert anywhere near as well as a nicely placed text link.

    Glad you solved the problem :)
