Question about Invalid Links in CJ

    I'm getting a lot of invalid links in CJ and I'm not sure why.

    I show that the links I'm using are still valid by the Advertiser (ie they are not expired and are correct)

    I am advertising some on classified sites like CraigsList and driving traffic directly to the advertiser from there. Would that be a reason for the invalid links? Would the advertiser say that is the reason for the invalid links?
    If the advertiser dropped me wouldn't i get some sort of notification?

    I was still paid commission on leads generated from those same links using the same methods which made me think the Advertiser approved advertising on classified sites.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks-

    I have answered this question somewhere else, but let me try it again.

    If you delete a website URL you once submitted to CJ all your links generated under that website will become invalid. Keep this in mind. So do not delete your old website URL's in CJ.

    Secondly, from time to time CJ or CJ's advertisers update their links and so your CJ tracking id changes. As a result you have to update your old link. That's just their insane practice. I hate that stupid domination they exert on the affiliate. They need to be sued for that to be honest.

    Hope that helps.

    For all other questions, please, refer to Nabs, MCMedia and others. They are here to help you.

    Thank you.
