Anyone know what a "hit" is on PrettyLinks? They do not match up with my affiliate clicks at all, for example 68 "hits" relates to around 5 clicks on Amazon.

Amazon does not like Pretty Links. "Hits" means someone has clicked on your link but whether Amazon stats agree with the number of hits is anyone's guess. You also need to look at 'Unique Hits" which is the number of real people who click on the link as opposed to the number of times the link is hit. One person may click on the link x number of times but that only counts as 1 unique hit.
Thanks for the reply, almost all of my hits are unique hits. Do you think it's worth using Amazon links without Pretty Links?
One other thing I do is to use Amazon short links wherever I can. The full links are very long and ugly.

That's what Amazon says you should do. And who am I to argue?
Haha fair enough! I'll give it a try. Thanks for your help
