So I just got skimlinks all setup, but I'm not sure if it's working or not.

I know on their site, for example, says that ebay links will be automatically converted to affiliate links via the skimlinks server, but if I hover over an ebay link on my site, the link doesn't look any different??

Is this normal? It says on their site that the redirects are done via some go.redirectingat.com url but when I hover over my links or click on my links I never see this url so I'm not sure if anything is even happening.

And if I click the link, I don't see any redirect URL in my address bar before i get to the landing page so I'm not sure if it's working or not.

I also can't see any clicks showing up in my skimlinks account after clicking links so I don't know if it's working or not.... Can somebody help clarify?

Same with Amazon links I don't see any difference.

For example, one of the amazon links posted by a user on my site is, http://www.amazon.com/PLASMA-CUTTING-SYSTEM-BUILT-IN-COMPRESSOR/dp/B003DPXB4G

The URL is no different once clicked, the final destination page is still, http://www.amazon.com/PLASMA-CUTTING-SYSTEM-BUILT-IN-COMPRESSOR/dp/B003DPXB4G I don't see any affiliate link there so I don't think it's working. anybody have any ideas?

Then you should ask at their support site.

There seems to be a 12-24 hour delay in stats via their reporting panel, so all is well stats just aren't instant.
