So when I create goto create a creative link I get something such as the following:

<a href="http://www.jdoqocy.com/k5117mu2-v1HMNOKONOHJILOJOMM" target="_blank" onmouseover="window.status='http://www.gamefly.com';return true;" onmouseout="window.status=' ';return true;">Custom creative link</a><img src="http://www.tqlkg.com/d074z15u-yJhPQMQPQJLKNQLQOO" width="1" height="1" border="0"/>

I just want to link my keyword to the link tho. So all I really need is

http://www.jdoqocy.com/k5117mu2-v1HMNOKONOHJILOJOMM

Will I still get credit for the click/sale? Not including the:

<img src="http://www.tqlkg.com/d074z15u-yJhPQMQPQJLKNQLQOO" width="1" height="1" border="0"/>

crap?

It will work without the image. However I would check with the network to see if it is alright. As you could run in to trouble for not using it.

It has worked for me without the image pixel and still does, I never include as I use some custom coding to promote products. I would say it is an advertiser issue rather than an CJ issue, so check with your advertiser

The image tag is used to track impressions. CJ are fine with you removing it but bear in mind you will not be able to see impressions in the CJ Account Manager interface.
