If you are unsure if you're links are being picked up and affiliated by VigLink, you can test as follows (if it's a pay per purchase link). Set up the link, and then click on it a few times. Wait a little while. Then log in to your associated VigLink account. It should show you a calendar, with the number of clicks for each day. in the dropdown, select source : "primary/parent site link insertion". Then click on the date where it says "5 clicks" (the date the link was clicked on). Scroll through this report, and you will see all links that were clicked on, that are being tracked.

under "most clicked links", it will show "clicks by affiliation status". for each link that was clicked on, it will indicate whether it is: "Non-monetized: Clicks to non-affiliate sites", "VigLink: Clicks affiliated by VigLink", and/or "Already affiliated: Clicks on already affiliated links." It shows up in columns as "link, clicks and status"

In this chart, if it shows a green half circle next to the link, then it is monetized by VigLink.

I did click on them.

I'm still saying: be patient. It works for the rest of us - it will work for you, too.

I wouldn't want you to get banned for clicking too many of your pay-per-click links.

I suspect you're right, Chef. I only clicked a couple of times. I didn't want to cause trouble...
