There seems to be a problem with links. I can type this address manually with no trouble:

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Gateway+-+15.6"+Laptop+-+6GB+Memory+-+640GB+Hard+Drive+-+Blue/3792507.p?id=1218432158809&

But when you click it, it shows a dead end, but only if you don't manually type it in. This also applies to SkimWords (AKA, the links the eBay thing does, like this: Xbox 360 )

Please help!

This is a DNS issue with SkimLinks and the go.thewiiu.com subdomain that some links are passed through. I fixed it, but it might take a little time to take effect.

Thank you! But I want to ask a question. Why does it have to go through SkimLinks? Can't it go directly into the link?

I believe that's how they make profit, by linking through the ad host (SkimLinks) it's kind of like a commission.

When a link runs through SkimLinks, I earn a small commission if anyone buys anything from the linked site. It does not affect the price of the item. Maintaining this site costs money, and I also need to save up for university somehow.
