    Hi,

    This is my first post to this forum so Hi to everybody:). I have just recently started to try and build a presence on the internet based on affiliate marketing.

    I joined CJ recently and am having trouble figuring out how to place a link in the text of my new e-book.

    I have figured out how to get the HTML links to place in web pages. I have tried to extract the http link from the code and place in the text of my e-book as a hyperlinks however when I test the links they are not registering as a hit on CJ.

    If somebody could explain how I can do this I would really appreciate it.

    Dave

    why not do a re-direct through a web site, that way give you more security if the link needs to change but you already have k's of eBooks in circulation, then you just change where the re-direct goes.

    also be aware that CJ seems to be fairly good with sale tracking, but in terms of hit numbers etc... their numbers are wacky and delayed.

    Thanks for the re-direct tip. Know what it is but dont know how to implement. New at this so I will need to do further reserarch:eek:

    Just checked my CJ account again and it looks like the clicks have registered with the links I have used. Sounds like you were right about the delay.

    Thanks

    Dave
