<strong><span style="color:#c0392b;">Error Message:</span> “...” is not a valid Link/Rotator ID in account “$username”</strong><br />
<br />
This error message means that you’ve used a Link or Rotator ID that does not exist in the account.<br />
<br />
If you recall, when you create a tracking link (or rotator link), you need to specify a Link ID that you <em>must</em> use on the end of the link for it to work correctly:<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
For the link to work correctly, you <em>must</em> use the Link ID or Rotator ID exactly as you entered when you created the link, including how you capitalized each letter.<br />
<br />
If a click is delivered to your account and the Link ID or Rotator ID does not exactly match any link in your account, you will get the “not a valid Link/Rotator ID” message.<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Common Reasons for this Error</strong><br />
<br />
You can get this error for a variety of reasons:<br />
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td valign="top"><b>1.</b></td>
<td> </td>
<td>There’s a typing mistake in your Link ID or Rotator ID ...</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td valign="top"><b>2.</b></td>
<td> </td>
<td>You’ve deleted the link so it literally does not exist anymore ...</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td valign="top"><b>3.</b></td>
<td> </td>
<td>You’ve recently changed the username for your account, but you forgot to update your links to use the new username. Remember that your generic links contain your username:<br />
<br />
<code>http://www.clkmg.com/$username/linkID</code><br />
<br />
Also, if you’ve changed your username and you’re using Script Forwarding, you’ll need to regenerate the two control files you created before. You can do that here:<br />
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="box-sizing: border-box; border-collapse: collapse; border-spacing: 0px; max-width: 100%;">
<tbody style="box-sizing: border-box;">
