Amazon link always pending
I tried to link some mentioned book to Amazon, but the link never seems to succeed, it's always pending, and of course when I click that pending link, it doesn't have my Amazon referral id on it.
Please help, thanks.

Inappropriate?The "pending" means that no one has click on it yet. That is the analytics that are pending. We are going to be changing that though. A lot of people have been confused.
What URL are you having the problem that your ID is not in the link. Did you put you id into the preferences tab on the Triggit tool? -
Inappropriate?Yes I did put my Amazon Id into the preference.
This is the url http://triggit.com/link/hvgSzEC8
When I click it it sends me to amazon url of the product but with no id of mine (origena-20) in it. -
Inappropriate?We fixed the pending bug. Now it just shows you how many clicks you have. I am looking into the ID issue. The way it looks right now when we run a search against the Amazon API we use you ID tag. And the link they return back has your ID encoded into it. But I will go back and verify that is correct. Thanks for the heads up.

Inappropriate?I did some snooping around and I figured out why the link you see does not have your affiliate ID in it. The way that the api processes a request by us for the proper url to send your users to, is to give us a redirecting url that does contain your associates ID. So when the users clicks the link they hit our system and we redirect them to that link that does contain the affiliate ID and then amazon again redirects them to the url you see when you land on the product page. At that point you can't see your associates ID even though amazon has already recorded that you send the users. Sorry if its a little confusing.
So basically Amazon knows you sent the user and you will get a commission for it even though you can't see your id in the URL.
I hope that helps. -
