    I just found a huge list of entries under the "invalid links generating traffic" report in my account... What does that mean? I checked some of them and they appear to be active links. Were all those clicks wasted? If so, thats terrible since they were all adwords clicks...

    I am having the same problem you have to add it to the active sites list in your cj account but I am not sure yet, but all earnings made from them will not be counted, have you created a landing page or a direct link to affiliate site on ad words?

    They are all direct links from adwords pointing to the merchant's page.

    Make sure you include "Search Engine Marketing" in your "Promotional Metheds". It's on the administrative settings page.

    I had the same problem with eBay links. It was so frustrating that so many clicks here wasted! It was the dumbest mistake on my part too, but its all good now.
