Hi there.

I got some problems with the links from linkshare.com

I USE FRONT PAGE FOR CREATING MY WEBPAGES.
I copied and pasted a code from their website but when I validated the hyperlinks all were broken. After searching on the help section in linkshare I found out that front page users have to paste the code between the following codes:<!--Webbot bot="HTMLMarkup" startspan -->><!--Webbot bot="HTMLMarkup" endspan -->

I followed the advice and it finally worked, the links were not broken. But when I tried to see the banners and text in design view they were not visible, so I was not able to edit the size and exact position of them.
Please advice how could I paste the codes, which will result working links and allows me to edit the banners, individual products and text links in design view.

Oh buy the way the strange thing is that when I previewed the webpages in the browser it seemed everything worked fine, the links took me to the destination page.

So I got confused a bit. I dont know if I have to care about what front page said when I validate the affiliate links if it is working in the browser???

Will I get any money if the link takes the visitor to the destination page but front page sees the link as broken?????

Thank you Laszlo Sztancs . popularmerchandiser@yahoo.com

Thank you .Laszlo sztancs.

Hi Laszlo,

I'm no expert, so take this for what you will Smile

I use front page as well, and most if not all of my affiliate links are broken in front page. You scared me a bit, so I just checked my links, and I get to the merchant pages with no problem. I then remembered that CJ does display a CTR so, yes, if someone buys, you should get paid. At least I'm pretty sure Smile

If I'm wrong, someone will no doubt correct me!

You can test your links in LinkShare by looking at your stats.

Check your impressions and clickthroughs numbers, click on your links, and if the clicks are registering, it shouldn't matter if FrontPage is validating the page or not.

Cheers,

Allen
