None of my CJ Links work?

    I signed up with CJ some time back. But recently only I started finding advertisers and creating affiliate links. I have CafePress and Hostgator as advertisers.

    Whenever I create a affiliate link from their panel, all links created don't work. All links created are dead.

    Any idea where I can go wrong? :confused:

    Can you post some examples of the broken urls (maybe *** out your PID) ?

    Are you using JS or html links?

    I have tried both html and jscript links. Both come as dead ones. I contacted CJ today after trying variety of links. Waiting for their response.

    And in what format u requesting example links? Pls explain.

    They both work for me. What makes you think they're not working?

    That's because when I click them, it says Page Not Found. Tried on all browsers.

    Ok Problem Solved. Seems they don't open only at my place. Just confirmed from a friend - links work fine there too. Thanks for the help. :)

    Do you have certain ad-blocking software, internet security software, or anything similar?

    I have them but I even tried using disabling them. They never open on my side. I tried on IE 6 where no adblocker is installed. Neither I use any firewall or Internet Security software. Just plain browser. Well...no point discussing since its opening on other users pcs atleast. :)

    Exactly what adblocking/antispam/antiphishing software are you running? If there's something out there stopping CJ links from working I think we should find out what it is.

    Found the reason after extensive research. Spybot Hosts file blocks all known CJ affiliate urls. For some reason, Spybot classified these urls as spammy. :D
