Apparently I did properly format the links.. but some programs shut off traffic stats?? I got a very detailed response from CCBill support. Ryan over there, he tested my links and made sure they were all right and working. I really appreciate that and him taking time to write such a detailed response. That's what someone should do- explain what's going on, when asked.

I see you provided link codes to all of your affiliate programs on this page (http://adceo.com/hunmega/index_links_only.htm) while testing the links, I was able to confirm you have them setup properly. I was able to verify this by making sure the links redirected to the correct domain name, and then by confirming that your affiliate id was listed on the page source as a "refer Id" on the form. This verifies that each link is properly working and giving you credit for each form hit or sale.

Some programs do not provide the option for their affiliates to see the Raw and Unique clicks in the account. Sponsors of our Affiliate Programs have the option to determine what clicks are reported to their affiliates. We currently do not have a global listing of what programs do or do not support what clicks. However, if you view your reports you'll see what clicks are being recorded either 'Raw', 'Unique', 'Form', 'Second Page', or a combination of them. I can confirm the click report is not updated in real time and it may take up to 24 hours for the report to fully reflect clicks.

If you have any other questions or concerns regarding your affiliate programs please contact us anytime 24/7.

So.. now.. my question is

Is there any way to test the links - other than verifying the destination - in terms of verifying them actually tracking in the stats area -for sure-?? I may be paranoid but I like to see links actually tracking, for sure .... If there's an easy way to do this tell me would ya!! (I just sent my question back to CCBill - I'm sure they'll write back soon, too.)

Thanks !
