    Hi I'm completely new to cj singed up yesterday. Im pretty new to affiliate
    marketing I started with clickbank its been a month and a half and i made $1000.

    I decided to try to cj but now I'm so confused. I signed up for a advertiser and
    got a link and the PID is different from my account number. SID is like in TID
    in clickbank right? Whats an AID?

    Also how do I check if my link is working? In clickbank when you go to buy
    the product it has your affiliate id. I do not know how to check in cj, also
    I clicked the url cj generates for the advertiser I signed up for but it doesn't
    show it as a click in the cj main window place.

    Also what exactly does encrypting the link do? And will it work with redirects?

    Please I need all the help I can get to get started.

    Thanks
