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

%3Ca%20href%3D%22https’s server DNS address could not be found.
Search Google for href "https click linksynergy bing
ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED

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?

Go to your profile page and add your website and others can go and check it for you also.

Ok I will do that also. Thank you

Did you go into TEXT mode to paste your link? That could be why it's not working. Yes, always tell it to open in a new page that way the visitor will still be on your site but have the ability to place their order on the other page. You don't want to loose the visitor by having them sent to the affiliate site directly from your site. Hope this helps.

Thank you for your help and I will do that!!!
