Is there a delay in clicks being registered?

    Hello,

    I am a brand new CJ.com affiliate, I have gone to "Get Links" and searched for a product such as Registry Cleaners and got a link for it.

    I cloaked the link in my .htaccess file like;

    I've asked my friends to click the link (/go/regcleaner) but no clicks have registered on the main page of CJ.com is there any delay in it being shown?

    [​IMG]

    I clicked the direct link myself without using the /go/regcleaner and it still says 0 clicks?

    Is there any delay in the clicks being registered?

    Stats are not real time. They may not be updated for several hours to the following day.

    And if you are redirecting links you should always check to make sure the cookie is being set and not dropped. Browsers and Security software will sometimes drop redirected cookies depending on the method used.

    Is there any way of checking to see if the cookie survived?

    Go to the page with your affiliate link. Clear your browser cookies. Refresh the page. Then click on the link. Now check your cookies. That's pretty much all you have to do. If the cookie is missing then you won't get paid, if it's there then it's working fine.
