i currently have a web site affiliated with marketing firm. i have put the html codes direclty on my site and the links and banners open correctly. i have had about 200 visitors since using goodle and yahoo. all my reports shows the clicks and impressions but does not have any sales. i called the company and talked to him about this. he said that the html code has extra lines in it that is hampering their way of tracking. he also said it would be on microsofts side. my site is powered through microsoft. i talked to a tech at microsoft and he said they do not help with setting up codes. he also said that the issue would be in the way the code reads since there is no way of changing the lines the way i copy and paste to my site. he only suggested using iforms and could not give any more advise. i am new at the whole computer and html thing and need some advise on this. these are the steps i take when adding a banner to my site.
1) copy code directly from merchant
2) log in to page editor
3) click on module and paste code
4) click save on website
doing these steps, the banner or link i want is now on the web page.
thanks

Don't guarantee that I'll be the one to help you, but a link to site's problem page online would be nice.

Quite a few errors in coding of HTML and CSS. Maybe it's the editor that doesn't code properly, but here are the links:

CSS Errors
HTML Errors

With an XHTML 1.0 DocType, the coding is much tighter than normal. Tags that do not normally have closing tags must be closed with a space and a "/".

Some of your tags contain white space/new line which can cause browser parsing problems. There are links which have very wide gaps in the URL:
