You should always test your links. As long as it's not pay per click you won't get in trouble. So click, then watch the url in your browser after you get to the merchant and you'll usually see your affiliate ID in the URL string. Then go into the affiliate program reporting and see if the click registered. (Most clicks record in real time but there can be a delay. Also if you click 5 times in a row it may only record one click, so dont worry if that happens.

Also check after you click to be sure it dropped a cookie on you. Just clear cookies, then click, then check cookies and see if there is one from the affiliate network or merchant, depending on what type of link it it.

The only way to absolutely test all the way to the buy is to do a test purchase. IF you have reason to believe your links arent tracking you can try asking the affiliate manager to do a test purchase on your link. They can buy something and just reverse the sale.

Hope this helps and best of luck!

Now depending on what network you are using,,,,
hmmmm, can't remember exactly and can't find the info but
it seems like I remember either LinkShare or CJ links not working right in WordPress.
That may have been affiliate video links, can't remember.
