@Tess - Too good!?

You're good! :)

While I remember, each of the tables above will be limited to 20 entries. I will be creating separate articles for each of the categories where I will expand on the information.
There will be additional categories added above as I find or am told of other affiliate programs that are supported by VigLink. Eventually we should have a decent resource to create income without each of us having to do the work.

Okay. :)

Great, that would save me some time and effort Tess. Keep me informed about what you find out, please.

Each person that it happens to, it's just when they are about to be paid. I did read once that this is because a second algorithm kicks in then, to determine whether they wish to a) pay you or b) keep you as a publisher. For those paid by cheque, it could well have been issued, when a stop is suddenly placed on it. Never any explanation.

Well, I used your list of stores to work from so I guess, yes, I checked the stores. I think I'm going to write them an email to ask how I can check that the links are correct. :) I'll let you know what they say. :)

I don't trust Google at all. I had a Adsense account and it was suddenly locked. I don't know why they locked it nor did they tell me. I was just about to get to the point where they would have paid me. Google have far too much power on the internet. I feel much safer using Chitika on my Wizzley pages.

Going to VigLink to check stats is the best way to check that things are working. I have not as yet had chance to find out all the stats that they give. Perhaps I need to do that and report back - too much to do, too little time.
Before mentioning the shop, did you check that they were available through VigLink?
Otherwise I don't know the answer, as I have not tried it myself yet.
Something else to test and report back. Perhaps a forum post on the VigLink forum topic will elicit an answer. Try there first and if no reply I will do some testing over the weekend for you (and me, I'd like to know how that works as well).

Humagaia. I just checked the links. I don't see anything extra really, except for two of them. The reason they are long is because I inserted long links. Those were teh URL links for those particular products. Is there anyway of checking that there is an exact code that is in. I noted when I signed up that it only wanted my email address.Also, I just tried something new after going to their site (which shows 11 clicks so something must be working). It said it would put in a link on its own if I mentioned a shop, so I wrote a para and mentioned some stores, but it didn't add a link. What am I missing? :) Thanks for your help.

Good advice. Making from online writing might take time, but with persistence and a willingness to learn, it will happen.

@Tess I have checked each one and they go to the right place. I also checked that were going with the Viglink affiliate codes - they all seem OK.
You can do this by hovering over the link with your mouse, keeping it there for a while, and looking in the bottom left hand corner of your screen, at a black popup that appears, where you will see, after a coupl of seconds, the URL that it is pointing to. If it is loooonnnnngggg, then the affiliate code adding by VigLink is working. If not, press on the link and then return to the URL in your article. Hover the mouse over the URL again and this should show as a long URL this time around.

@Tess Will do in about half an hour, just about to have dinner

Paula, I didn't have a toaster as a child either, we made toast under the grill (broiler) in the oven. I remember a lot of burnt toast!
And yes this toaster manages to look at home in a retro kitchen or a modern one like mine.
