5 Star Blog » Death to Digital Vandals - Get Paid to Play this Video

after reading the blog post above, i set up the video Ads by entering my CJ affiliate id and used it on this post

(Video) How to use fitness ball » Diet Blog

However, the link at the bottom of the video (buy this video now) is not working and site is not redirected after video ended (firefox, win XP). Please take a look and let me know if i have set something wrong (i am a N00b )

Hey samskpun,

I'M THRILLED that I just blogged this and
someone actually jumped right on it and did it! YEA!!!

I'll get James the affiliate manager to take a look and see what's up.

Off the top of my head though, just want to make sure you entered your CJ PID right. You entered just the PID number not the ful URL string right???

[samskpun]

I entered my PID, after i click on the page, it goes to
http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/...type=3&subid=0

and it is a blank page with this error code:
Error 400: bad site code

[Linda Buquet]

Well that's especailly weird since I think Panda is on CJ
and the instructions on the page say to add your CJ PID!

Not sure why your went to LinkShare???
I just clicked the link on my video and it goes to a CJ URL.
The page doesn't resolve for me but I think it may be because
I used a fake PID of 00000.

I emailed James and Chris they should be over soon to help us out.

[Linda Buquet]

SORRY!

I said: "Not sure why yours went to LinkShare???"

When you said you saw todays blog about the Panda video,
I just assumed it was the Panda video you added to your site
and did not go to your site to see, sorry. Now I see why it goes to Linkshare.
Different video. Oops.

Still dont know why it goes to an error page. But the AMWSO guys will help you out when they get here. They are in Thailand so may be sleeping now.
Not sure what time it is there.

[Larwee]

It is a little past 2 o'clock "tomorrow" morning now in Thailand now. They are 14 hours ahead of the time in California.

Sorry samskpun,

I did email James and he was just here. Tried to catch him, but he must have missed this thread. I'll try to get him again for you.

Hi guys,

Great post Linda! Thanks for that.

Samskpun: This video - BalanceBall Beginners Workout - is run through the Gaiam affiliate program on the Linkshare network. To track sales you need to be signed up to the program. If you're not already signed up, please get the sign up URL and details here: Gaiam lifestyle, healthcare and personal development Affiliate Program. Additionally, you need to use your Linkshare ID in this instance. Check out the help file on how to find your Linkshare ID here: Getting Started with Affiliate Marketing with Video (AFFILIATE VIDEO WITH LINKSHARE).

One more thing. And this is important. You're using WordPress so you need a plugin to get the video's text link to work properly. You can get full details here: ABestWeb Affiliate Marketing Forum - View Single Post - Anyone for Qigong?.

"If you are having problems using the videos on a Word Press Blog (WP will sometimes rewrite the javascript code so the links don’t work) here is a plug-in that should solve the problem:

TextControl - WordPress Plugin Repository - Trac

How To Use the Text Control Plug In for Affiliate Video Links:

1. Download the Text Control Plug-in. Unzip it, and upload contents to the plug-ins folder of Word Press.

2. Activate the plug-in. From now on, you will have the option to turn off formatting and character encoding on individual blog entries. This option will only appear AFTER you save the blog entry and go back in to edit it.

3. Be sure to create the blog post with visual editor turned off. You can check or uncheck this under your user profile tab.

4. Save your blog entry without the video and go back in to edit the post.

5. Under Text Control, choose "No Formatting" from the left drop-down and "No Character Encoding" from the right drop down.

6. Save the blog entry again and it "should" work."

Hope this helps. (I'm off to sleep - it's late over here!).

COOL! I didn't know why the link wasn't working on my blog.
Now I know!

Thanks for the help James. Sleep tight!
