Greg, by the time I got to look at your post tonight I think you've got it figured out, as when I click your link it redirected through auction ads. As for checking to see if you've signed up under me AA isn't equipped for that yet but they say in future updates they will be- all i can see is how many total people have signed up under me.
As far as impressions go sometimes the impressions don't match the stats another thing AA is working on according to their web page. Is has something to do with what eBay reports to them and when. As long as they pay me I guess I am cool with that for now lol.
AA is a really new company on the market, which has its good side (not overly saturated and still a lot of money to be made from it) and the bad ( we gotta wait out some of this kinks) but all in all I've got to say I have high hopes for this program as they continue to not only pay on time at the first of every month even if its a holiday but the new interesting widgets and uses they are coming up with could be a great wave for the future....
Greg also wanted to point out that I like you web site but the ad for your book you have in the top right corner didn't catch my eye until very late in my viewing and i think its because we start reading from left to right and tend to over look things on the right side of the screen. I would try it in the left hand corner of the screen or somewhere where people are going to trip over it. Perhaps even a banner link right below your Adsense Ads or above them. This way you'll still get clicks on your adsense ads and perhaps a $25 bonus from your book as well
That will really get people to that and increase those $25 payouts.
