As a rule of thumb for affiliate marketing, always test the links and verify that they are being tracked correctly before heavily promoting any product.

My very first aff program I ever did was some kind of search engine pay per search. I tested my links, and search listings, etc, well, when I noticed that I wasn't getting credit for my searches, I emailed the program manager, and told him about it. He looked over my account, emailed me back and said your account is cancelled, we don't want your kind here. Just for testing my links, I had clicked on it about 6 times to validate everything. He cancelled me for testing.
