    Are they ebay links? Clear all of your browser cache and cookies, navigate to ebay using one of your rover links, purchase and item that is $.99 or less and has free electronic delivery. If it working right, the item should show up in your commission reports within 3 days.

    if it takes you to the target merchant's site, then it's working. don't trust cj's stats box. it's always delayed and/or incorrect.

    Thanks everyone. I'm a complete newbie so I may have some stupid questions but Impression?

    And thanks for the suggestion vetting I will try that.

    And thanks for letting me know that the stats are unreliable. I'm just used to the clickbank stats.
    Also does it even show a sale instantly or does that take a couple days too? Is there any real reliable
    way to check this?

    Thanks alot

    sales/leads differ for each merchant. some of my merchants show me the new sales after 2 hours. others like ebay update once a day (the day following the actual sale).
