When I click on my affiliate links it comes up with about blank. I am affiliated with Amazon at the moment, why don't my links work?
That is not a 'Normal' affiliate type link, its a code.
You can either insert it into an html widget in your Sidebar or insert it within an article by clicking on TEXT and not Visual when you have the article in Edit Mode within your Wordpress.

What affiliate link are you trying to use? Perhaps if you copy and paste you link into a comment here we can have a look and give you some feedback as to why it may not be working.

I know I'm probably doing something silly
Are you adding that to your CODE?
There should not be an http:// preceding that. If so, you are adding the code wrong. Remove that.
If you are looking to add HTML or embed code into your website, you copy this into the Text tab when within your page or post editor (not the default visual tab).
If you want an overview of how to do this, then I would suggest you check out my tutorial on how to use the editor. Using the Wordpress Editor - An Overview Do note that quite often after you add the HTML, it will not actually show up until you "Publish" your content and view it live.
