I noticed when you create a hop link that sometimes your name is not in the adress bar and then for other products when you creat a hoplink with clickbank it has your id name in it. I do the same thing for every product but it shows up for certain ones only. So even though it creates a link without my id being shown am I still being the affiliate of that product to get commission?:confused:I know it may be a noob question but i just started and dont want to be messing up and not know. thanks for any help

The new hoplink in clickbank is now shielding your clickbank id. So instead of seeing your clickbank id, you will see a bunch of numbers/letters combined. They're use to be a away to double check to make sure your link was encoded right, but when I recently checked, it no longer lets you decode the shielded hoplink.

Other alternatives in making sure your links are properly set up is by hovering your mouse over your product. If you look in the browser when doing this you should see your affiliate id in the url.

The second way is to click through to the payment page. At the very bottom you will see "affiliate=YOURID" make sure your id is listed where it says YOURID. If your id is not included, double check your link for you will not be credited for sales.

Let me know if we can help you further :)

Just act like you are going to buy the product. If still uncertain, pm me your link to the product and I can check it for you :)

Thank you for the help. After going back and checking those links with those methods it seems all my hop links are working correctly. That was a big help, one less worry down. thank you!

Andrea I went through all your payment pages and you are good to go. Just a suggestion though, you might want to cloak your id by using an anchor text. These look more appealing for when a visitor comes to your site. Here is your link which explains this::)
