Trying to link an affiliate to my website

I am on Lesson 3 and trying to attach an affiliate link to one of my posts and when I click on it this is what shows up

This site can’t be reached

This link is thru Rakuten and I copied the link then highlighted on my post where I wanted to put the link then clicked the link button on the tool bar and pasted the link. I did this Thursday evening 8/3/17 and this morning it still shows this.

It ask if I wanted it by email, text or open in a different tab when the link came up. Is there a difference? I am so new to all this. It is taking me forever to get thru Lesson 3. It was set on email by default so I left it there.

Any and all help would be appreciated. The videos seem so easy when watching but when I go and do the exercises I get lost. Does anyone else have this problem?
